We just had a snow storm four days ago and got about 8 to 10 inches of snow around the area. While driving around the neighborhood I saw numerious vacant homes for sale and the snow is still in the driveways and on the sidewalks and entrances to the homes. I learned a long time ago that keeping the snow off the walkways and driveways helps the potential buyer and their agents get into the homes. So keep your driveways and sidewalks clear of snow if you want them shown.

You have probably seen a lot of homes on the market advertised as short sales. This is a term used for home sellers who are trying to sell their home for what they owe on their loan or less. Homes in this category are not always really approved short sales. That is to say the lander has not given the homeowner an exact amount that they will take for the home, they have only agreed that the home is on the market and is being sold. To have an approved short sale, one that will sell in a minimum amount of days, you need to know how short sales work and what is required of the homeowner to get an approval for a short swell.

Our team teaches classes to Realtors® on what their part in a short sale is, but nobody tells the sellers what they part is. Well, that not true anymore. Just call our Team One Hotline at 801-774-1494 as say "I'm behind on my payments and I want to do a short sale" One of our Short Sale Speialist will give you all the information you need to know to get your home sold in record time and stop any foreclosure procedures that may have been started dead in thir tracks.

In my training as a stager I was taught a little secret that I thought I'd pass on. If you really want a home to look it's best for showings, simply replace the homes light bulbs with bright white bulbs. You will be amazed at the difference. We did this on a recent listing and the home sold in 5 days. It really make a great difference. Try it with you next listing and see what results you get.
