REASON, WE CERTAINLY WELCOME YOU TO APPLY FOR RENTING OUR HOME SHORT-TERM. This is actually a promotion by us to get you to fall in love with our Alamogordo Home while or after having lived in it and then deciding to further rent or buy it. First come, first serve; minimum stay of 1 week.
Buying or Renting a home is one of the most major financial and life-changing commitments you will ever make. Regardless of what home you Buy (or Rent) in Alamogordo or what the Realtor, Landlord or Owner claims about it, you never know for sure whether or not the home is what YOU want to live in long-term until you actually COMMIT AND PAY FOR to Buy (or Rent) the home and fully move into it and live in it. No matter what home you decide to buy or rent, unless you have lived in it first, it is a risky gamble! Ask the Realtor, Landlord or Owner. If he/she refuses to let you live in the home first, even though you are an excellent person who is fully qualified to buy or rent the home, likely it is because he/she is hiding something very negative about the home they are stuck with until they find someone foolish enough to pay them to take if off their hands. Realtors, appraisers and inspectors are poor substitutes for your own judgment. Problem Solved! We offer our Home as a Short-Term Rental (first come, first serve; minimum stay of 1 week, 1+ month is suggested). Do this and you will fall more in love with our Home, and it will erase any doubts you may have about buying or renting our Home. Click here: Short-Term Rental

HOME AUCTION OFFER - April 1, 2018 to July 1, 2018
AUCTION START PRICE ONLY $99,000 !
Bidding Interest is Increasing - Do Not Delay Bidding!
If You Don't Like Auctions or Want to Immediately Buy Our Property, Our OUTRIGHT BUY Price is Now Only $129,900!
(We Believe Its Fair Market Value is $150,000+)
NOTE-1: Owners consider all Auction Bids on a first come, first serve basis. Auction ends when we receive the first acceptable Bid for our Property. So please complete and mail us your SALE BID FORM for our earliest consideration.
NOTE-2: This is a Private Auction by Sellers based on our policies. This is NOT a Foreclosure Auction, and this is NOT a Tax Auction.
NOTE-3: This Auction now has an Auction Reserve Price of $129,900 (be first to bid this amount and you automatically win the auction!); we expect lots of Bidders, so bid to win!
The Auction Reserve Price above may go up or down without prior notice from time-to-time totally at Sellers' discretion and no liability to Sellers, we will honor this Reserve Price if we receive your Sale Bid Form with this amount prior to changing it;
If the current Auction Reserve Price is not reached or exceeded, Sellers have no obligation to sell their Property.
NOTE-4: Unless otherwise agreed to by Sellers in writing, Sellers will reimburse Buyer for 75% of the fair market value of all Buyer's repair and upgrade costs, if any, up to $5,000 total reimbursement after Closing, after job completions, and after Sellers receive Buyer's applicable receipts.
Sellers reserve their right to inspect the work themselves and/or by their agents; the 75% reimbursements are limited to only those repairs and upgrades done within City Code and up to fair market value for the repairs and upgrades, limited to repairs/upgrades started no earlier than date of possession and ending no later than 365 days after date of possession, and can be applied only to permanent structures and fixtures of the Property that remain with the Property.
NOTE-5: Unless otherwise agreed to by the Sellers in writing, Bidder/Buyer pays all of his/her costs, all closing costs, all inspection costs, and all appraisal costs Bidder/Buyer wants done; Bidder/Buyer must provide free to Sellers complete legible copies of all inspections and appraisals reports and all such reports are to be held strictly confidential.
We expect our Home to sell for many $1,000s less than fair market value, plus we offer generous repair/upgrade reimbursements (see above), so Buyer paying closing costs is only fair.
NOTE-6: This Auction Offer will automatically end without prior notice by or liability to Sellers, if and when:
(A) The first time Sellers receive a bid price equal to or exceeds their Auction Reserve Price or an an Outright Buy is made (see above for Outright Buy price), AND Sellers received the Bidder's/Buyer's 1% of Winning Bid Earnest Money payment AND Winning Bidder/Buyer signs our Agreement to Purchase Home contract [BID NOW! First-come, first-serve! For example, Sellers receive another Winning Bidder's Earnest Money but your Winning Bidder Earnest Money takes longer to clear, even if your bid arrived to us first, you lose the Property (in which case, we fully refund your Earnest Money after it clears): NOTE: Winning Bid or Outright Buy is secured only by Earnest Money paid in full and received by Sellers, so pay 1% of your winning bid or outright buy amount as Earnest Money immediately after we notify you that you are a Winning Bidder/Buyer (Note: Cash, US Postal Money Order, Western Union and MoneyGram clear in 2 working days)];
(B) A Bidder's bid price is less than the current Sellers' Auction Reserve Price, AND Sellers accept his/her bid anyway as a Winning Bid, AND Sellers have received the Bidder's 1% Earnest Money payment AND Winning Bidder signs our Agreement to Purchase Home contract;
(C) Sellers rented their Property to a Confirmed Renter;
(D) Any set of events beyond Sellers' control which compels or causes Sellers to close this Auction Offer either temporarily or permanently;
(E) If for any reason, Sellers believe that their current Auction Offer is not working for them, Sellers reserve their right to close this Auction Offer, and to sell, rent or otherwise dispose of their Property any way they want to if there is no current Winning Bidder or Renter;
(F) This Auction Offer automatically expires and ends for any Bidder whose last bid was more than 30 days old unless he/she was notified by Sellers in writing as being a Winning Bidder; therefore, Bidders who wish to remain in this Auction must bid at least once every 30 days; however, Sellers reserve the right to reactivate any bid 31-90 days old with the Bidder's explicit permission in the unlikely event that Sellers dropped their Reserve Price and their new Reserve Price is less than or equal to that bid, in which case that bid is now declared to be a Winning Bid;
(G) This Auction Offer automatically and permanently ends for any Bidder whom Sellers believe was, is or will likely be acting dishonestly or trying to game the system, or Sellers refuse the Bidder's bid; or
(H) If nothing nothing above ends this Auction Offer, this Auction Offer automatically ends July 1, 2018; after which, Sellers reserve their right to rent or sell their home any way they want to, new sale price will likely be $149,900+.
NOTE-7: Sellers may end this Auction Offer, and if they do end it or already have ended it, Sellers reserve the the right to ignore all previous bids and rent offers they choose to ignore, whether active or expired, and then provide a new Auction Offer if Sellers choose to, all without prior notice by or liability to Sellers, if:
(A) For any reason whatsoever that the Property is not 100% successfully Closed in an Auction sale by a Winning Bidder within 60 days of the date of acceptance of the Winning Bid by Sellers, in which case the Earnest Money is forfeited to the Sellers;
(B) For any reason whatsoever that the Property is not occupied by the Renter within 60 days of all parties signing the Rental Agreement, in which case all Deposits and first month's rent is forfeited to Sellers;
(C) For any reason whatsoever Sellers have not received 100% of the Earnest Money from a Winning Bidder OR Winning Bidder does not sign our Agreement to Purchase Home contract within 3 days of the Sellers notifying the Winning Bidder.

(E) Sellers believe that whatever caused this Auction Offer to end is no longer enough of a reason to cause Sellers not to provide a new Auction Offer.
NOTE-8: Sellers may cancel, change, or reinstate the provisions of this Auction Offer at any time they choose without prior notice by or liability to Sellers; none of these actions will affect any current written agreements that predate the action.
NOTE-9: Buyer cannot move into the property prior to Closing and Sellers receive full payment for the property.

Our Opinion (Based on our Knowledge, Experience): WATCH OUT FOR REALTORS!
          NOTE: We are not saying that all Alamogordo Realtors are bad, only that every single Alamogordo Realtor we have contracted with in the past was very bad; we are no longer contracted with them. Buying a home in Alamogordo? You want a great home for a reasonable sales price. Realtors make their money from their commissions, PLUS many clearly get money from kickbacks, history/promises of repeat business, and other special favors by their family members and friends who are mostly home flippers and/or landlords. THESE REALTORS VERY SELDOM SHOW THEIR BUYER CLIENTS THE BEST HOMES FOR THE DOLLAR FOR SALE - THE BEST HOMES THEY RESERVE FOR THEIR FLIPPER/LANDLORD RELATIVES/FRIENDS - BUT SHOW THEIR CLIENTS ONLY LESSER HOMES REJECTED BY THEIR FRIENDS/RELATIVES. YOU MUST FIND THE HIDDEN TREASURES ON YOUR OWN! Keep in mind that many Realtors are interested only in what makes them richer in the long term, and they will eagerly rip-off both Buyers and Sellers alike using many different tactics and strategies. Crooked Realtors conspire with each other and with others, especially in towns and small cities where they formed self-serving cliques. Everything Realtors tell you must be taken with greatest skepticism. Your home is likely the most costly item you will ever buy in your lifetime, so as a wise home Buyer, YOU make the effort to view all Realtor-ignored and Realtor-badmouthed homes in your areas of interest - especially homes sold by their owners and underpriced homes in better locations. Corrupt Realtors target the best homes to be ignored and defamed so these homes are seldom viewed to further pressure their owners into greatly reducing the homes prices to the point that their home prices are at the steal level, at which time their flipper/landlord relative and friend buys them - theft of equity. After all, "Location, Location, Location" is the Realtor's mantra as the top three factors in home pricing. You can always paint a wall or replace a cabinet, but you can never change a home's location. Do not let Realtors cost you dearly by conning you into not looking at Alamogordo's hidden treasures. Also keep in mind, even for 100% honest and decent Realtors, one way or the other YOU will end up paying their 7% commission - yet another reason why most intelligent home Buyers never contact Realtors in the first place. Also, big Real Estate firms provide YOUR personal and private info to their so-called, "Global Partners" and/or "Affiliates" (ie: anyone who will pay them for your info), thereby endangering YOU and YOUR FAMILY - especially if you are in the military. Home security is also a big problem with Realtors - who knows all of who accessed their lockbox and copied your key or lent your key to a criminal friend or family member. In contrast, we maintain strict confidentiality with your info, and are very protective of your key. We also found a shocking level of Realtor incompetence, laziness and recklessness. Just as intelligent buyers skip the middleman by buying their stuff Online, they buy their homes directly from home owners, and pocket their savings.
          If you are considering an Alamogordo Realtor, the #1 question to ask him/her IN WRITING and require a clear denial from him/her: "Regarding me/us or my/our transactions with you, do YOU have any conflicts of interest?" If the Realtor does not immediately respond IN WRITING and clearly state that he/she has no "conflicts of interest" (not just, "conflicts" or "interest" alone), run for the door as fast as you can!
          Why any Property Owner, or prospective Buyer or Renter would sign a modern day Realtor, Property Manager or Corporate Landlord contract is a total mystery to us. Just read their contract provisions! The Real Estate company gets paid a large amount for promising you little or nothing. You are responsible for all errors, mistakes, negligence and intentional actions which damage you, your property or anyone or anything else - even if the Realtor, Property Manager or Corporate Landlord is 100% at fault! You will even likely have to pay ALL of the Real Estate company's or Corporate Landlord's legal fees and costs when they totally or at least mostly caused the problem. If you are the Owner, you virtually make the Real Estate company the new owner; they then often grant unrestricted access to your Property to everyone it wants to and rents or sells it to anyone they choose - you can't even put a nail in your own fence without its permission. There is no upper dollar limit as to what you are contracting to pay for!
          If you run into an Alamogordo Realtor badmouthing our property or some other Alamogordo owner-sold or great-location property, please email us the details. Be as complete as you can, and if possible, provide documentation. You may be anonymous if you wish, but please be 100% truthful. Send to us: John and Laurie Williams, P.O. Box 23097, Albuquerque, NM 87192. If it is about someone else's property, we will forward your info to that property owner.
          YOU CANNOT TRUST A REALTOR'S OPINION: Not only do Realtors have the usual biases, agendas and undue influences from their friends, families and profit motives as many other professionals have, but some of their opinions are so out of touch with what is important to their clients, that they are certifiably crazy. Keep in mind that while you may be paying for the Realtor, many Realtors only work for their own self-interest. Their loyalty to YOU is at or near zero. We just came back from Alamogordo after meeting with an Alamogordo Realtor, who is also an owner of a major Real Estate company. Here is what this Realtor told us, relevant to our discussion about appraising home values:
                   (1) Alamogordo is broken down into neighborhoods. He told us that every single home in an Alamogordo neighborhood is considered to be in the exact same location. We asked him, 'You are saying that if a home is beach-front property, it is of the same value as a home in the same neighborhood located blocks away'. He crazily replied, 'No, the beach-front property is worth LESS because it can be hit by a hurricane'. THE REAL WORLD: Location WITHIN a neighborhood is very important to most home buyers and renters. It can be because the next door neighbors live in more prestigious homes, thereby jacking up the value of the home for sale/rent. It could also be because the nearness of a relative, friend or business to the home. For example, our home is located across Indian Wells from a new, big Walmart, and about a half mile from the Regional Hospital. Some people shop at Walmart frequently. And/or have many medical procedures. The constant driving several extra blocks several times per week really adds up. And what if your child, elder or disabled person needs emergency meds late at night and in the dead of winter - then the much closer location of our home to the Regional Hospital and to the Walmart are huge, even critical, advantages because minutes in a crisis often means the difference between the amount of suffering and even death. You do NOT want to live 6 more blocks back in the "same neighborhood" (as defined by your Realtor).
                   (2) He also insanely stated that if you have the same 20-year roof for 20+ years that does not leak, and decide to have your home re-roofed with a new 30-year roof (as we did), you have not increased the value of your home, because the only thing Alamogordo home appraisers care about (according to him), is that your roof does not leak - not how old it is. THE REAL WORLD: No one wants to pay about $15,000 just one month or even one year from moving in to replace the roof because it finally wears out. A new 30-year roof is a huge savings.
                   (3) He also insanely stated that if your driveway parks only one car at a 60-degree angle, it is of the same value as a big near-level circular driveway that parks up to about 7 cars and you don't have to back out onto the street (as our driveway does). THE REAL WORLD: Most people drive a lot. Most people have family and friends over. Many people have more than one vehicle. The comfort and convenience of a big, near-level circular driveway cannot be overstated. Even a necessity for some.
                   (4) He also insanely implied that having many ceiling fans, roof turbines and many under-eaves vents add no value to your home (our home has all of these). THE REAL WORLD: Whether you are buying or renting, YOU end up paying dearly for all the hot air that gets stuck in the attic if there are no or one turbines and under-eaves vents are none or few. Turbines and vents flush out the hot air with cooler air, which saves the owner or renter a lot of money in his/her utilities. Ceiling fans help better circulate and distribute air within a room or area, thereby minimizing hot and cold spots and helping in evaporation cooling.

NOTE-5: Renter cannot move into the property prior to Rental Agreement signing by all parties and Landlords receive full payment for all deposits and first month's cleared rent.

Our Opinion (Based on our Knowledge, Experience): WATCH OUT FOR REAL ESTATE PROPERTY MANAGERS!
          NOTE: We are not saying that all Alamogordo Property Managers and Corporate Landlords are bad, only that every single one we have contracted with in the past was very bad; we are no longer contracted with any of them. Renting a home in Alamogordo? You want a great home for a reasonable rent. Real Estate Property Managers are typically paid 10% of the rent each month to "manage" the property, PLUS many clearly get extra money from kickbacks and special favors by their family members and friends who are into doing property repairs that Property Managers typically demand Owners to make. Often repairs that are not needed, grossly overpriced, poorly done, and/or often must be redone. The big jobs which profit Property Managers the most are usually very disruptive to renter's peace and quiet. Always keep in mind that many Property Managers are interested only in what makes them richer in the long term, and they will eagerly rip-off home Owners using many different tactics and strategies. As a renter, if Property Manager-caused disruptions are not disruptive enough for you, you may say, 'So what, I am just renting.' Always keep in mind that no matter who you rent from, home Owners mostly base their rents on the costs of their rental home repairs and upgrades plus property taxes plus home insurance. That means when home Owners are stuck with frequent and costly Property Manager-demanded repairs and upgrades, expect a hefty rent increase next Rental Agreement renewal, plus the Owner will likely hassle YOU over the costs and has more excuses to blame some repairs on you and return less of your Deposit. Not only that, but one way or the other YOU will end up paying the 10% Property Manager fee - even if no repairs/upgrades are required - why intelligent home renters insist on no Property Managers. Not only that, most Property Managers we run into love to snoop on their renters. Not only that, Real Estate firms provide YOUR personal and private info to their so-called, "Global Partners" or "Affiliates" (ie: anyone who will pay them for your info), thereby endangering YOU and YOUR FAMILY. Home security is also a big problem with Property Managers - who knows all of who accessed their lockbox and copied your key or lent your key to a criminal friend or family member. In contrast, we maintain strict confidentiality with your info, and are very protective of your key.
          If you are considering an Alamogordo Property Manager, the #1 question to ask him/her IN WRITING and require a clear denial from him/her: "Regarding me/us or my/our transactions with you, do YOU have any conflicts of interest?" If the Property Manager does not immediately respond IN WRITING and clearly state that he/she has no "conflicts of interest" (not just, "conflicts" or "interest" alone), run for the door as fast as you can!
          As a renter, you have little control over property taxes and insurance costs, but you usually do have great control over property repairs and upgrades. To save yourself a ton of money: (1) Do NOT rent a home with a Property Manager - period!, (2) Only ask for work to be done when there are issues of: (A) Safety, (B) Security, or (C) Risk of increased costly damage in the future if repair is not made (eg: leaks, wind damage). If you can safely and competently make repairs yourself then do them yourself; if they are costly or time-consuming, and the damage was not caused by intention or negligence by you or by someone or something you allowed in the home, ask the Owners to pay for the materials, and possibly reasonable amounts for your labor. Alamogordo Property Managers won't let home Owners repair their own homes, much less renters, so with them, repair costs - even if honestly assessed - are typically much higher than in homes without Property Managers. We tell our renters: Keep the home in very good condition limited to normal wear and tear and you will likely benefit from substantially lower rent increases (if any) and Owner hassle, and you will also likely recoup your full damage deposit (less the standard professional cleaning cost after you move). We gladly give our good renters excellent future recommendations relevant to new housing, jobs and security clearances.
          Crooked Property Managers conspire with each other and with others, especially in towns and small cities where they formed self-serving cliques. Everything Property Managers tell you must be taken with greatest skepticism. Your home is likely the most costly item you will ever rent in your lifetime, so as a wise home Renter, YOU make the effort to view all Property Manager-ignored and Property Manager-badmouthed homes in your areas of interest - especially homes rented by their owners and those in better locations - most likely targeted by Property Manager scams so they can con you into paying high rents to their family/friend landlords for inferior housing. We also found a shocking level of Property Manager incompetence, laziness and recklessness. Just as intelligent buyers skip the middleman by buying their stuff Online, they rent their homes directly from home owners, and pocket their savings.
          Why any Property Owner, or prospective Buyer or Renter would sign a modern day Realtor, Property Manager or Corporate Landlord contract is a total mystery to us. Just read their contract provisions! The Real Estate company or Corporate Landlord gets paid a large amount for promising you little or nothing.

                   (3) He also insanely stated that if your driveway parks only one car at a 60-degree angle, it is of the same value as a big near-level circular driveway that parks up to about 7 cars and you don't have to back out onto the street (as our driveway does). THE REAL WORLD: Most people drive a lot. Most people have family and friends over. Many people have more than one vehicle. The comfort and convenience of a big, near-level circular driveway cannot be overstated. Even a necessity for some.
                   (4) He also insanely implied that having many ceiling fans, roof turbines and many under-eaves vents add no value to your home (our home has all of these). THE REAL WORLD: Whether you are buying or renting, YOU end up paying dearly for all the hot air that gets stuck in the attic if there are no or one turbines and under-eaves vents are none or few. Turbines and vents flush out the hot air with cooler air, which saves the owner or renter a lot of money in his/her utilities. Ceiling fans help better circulate and distribute air within a room or area, thereby minimizing hot and cold spots and helping in evaporation cooling.

CURB APPEAL: We live in Albuquerque and go to Alamogordo once every few weeks. While we are not in Alamogordo, things like leaves and debris can blow onto the driveway or carport and area-wide fast growing weeds can sprout. Before buyers (or renters) move in, we always do a final cleanup both outside and inside (we have some items inside for our comfort when we come to Alamogordo, which we will remove in 3-4 days for immediate occupancy). So if our "curb appeal" is not now great, it will be cleaned up before you move in, so please don't let it distract you from the simple fact that our home, with its numerous advantages, features and amenities (see below), is a great home for you and your family to live in. At least view our home, then make up your mind. Else, you will be seriously missing out on this opportunity. We have a friend who can usually open up our home to you within minutes, call us 505-321-1034; she is not a Realtor, just a friend, so freely email or call us for all of your questions, comments and concerns.

HOME IS IS READY FOR IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY: We do not have anyone residing in our Alamogordo home. We do have some of our stuff there because until we sell (or rent) our Alamogordo home, we use it now and then as our vacation home - we love coming to Alamogordo and our home. These few items mainly include some bedding, clothing, kitchen utensils, household items, a few pieces of furniture. When we sell or rent our home, we can clear it out in one day's time. Most of the furniture we can leave there for you for free IF you ask us (just let us know), or we will remove.

INTO SKIING AND SLEDDING?: Some folks do not want to move from snowy areas because they love skiing and sledding more than they hate shoveling snow, skidding on ice, freezing and gray skies. Our home is right on the edge of the great Rocky Mountains - legendary for skiing and snow sledding - with ski slopes in the area. We also have the legendary White Sands National Monument - where you can sled down its steep gypsum sands slopes in warm sunny weather.
