SELLERS: Interested in getting your home sold quickly with the least amount of disruption to your daily lives? All sellers want to get their home sold with the least amount of disruption to their daily routine. I absolutely understand. And they ask me all the time how to do this. Here is how I help my clients: I use 3D virtual tours. Buyers will spend 75% more time looking at a listing online that have virtual tours which allow a buyer the ability to "walk through" a home and... take their time inspecting each room. I use floor plans. I create a floor plan for each listing with measurements for the living room, family room, dining room, and all bedrooms. This is a huge benefit for buyers! There's no wondering if their furniture will fit. I have created marketing pieces for each area my listings are located so that out of town buyers get a better feel for the area the home is located. Remember, not all buyers are local. And last but not least--I, or another agent, will conduct multiple open house showings on weekends to help increase large amounts of foot traffic during the weekends, thus minimizing week day showings. Call message me for an in home consultation on my services.

5 Tips to Help Sellers Prepare their Home for Sale If you've lived in your home for several years, consider painting the interior/exterior and give serious consideration to replacing the carpeting, or at bare minimum getting the carpets professionally cleaned. Have a termite inspection to prove to buyers that the property is not infested.... Get a pre-sale home inspection so you’ll be able to make repairs before buyers become concerned and cancel a contract. Gather together warranties and guarantees on the furnace, appliances, and other items that will remain with the house. Fill out a disclosure form provided by your sales associate. Take the time to be sure that you don’t forget problems, however minor, that might create liability for you after the sale. These are just some of the ideas that I recommend to get your home in tip top shape to sell quickly. Contact me if you'd like an in home consultation.
