You are the most important source of information to create an effective marketing campaign that will help get home buyers excited about buying your home.

Between 87% and 94% of home buyers start their home search on the internet and proceed to view the homes that meet their needs and capture their interest.

Target Your Home

You want buyers to pick your home above all others so your visual tour should include photos of your home and yard as well as the neighborhood and community in which it is located. The perfect time to start writing notes is while you are preparing your home for sale.

Print this page and use it as an outline for your notes but don’t limit yourself to these questions and topics.

Why did you decide to buy this home yourself?
(Schools? Location? Views? Privacy?)

What would you tell a buyer to make them want your home more than any other?

What features of your home might a buyer overlook (or not appreciate) if they viewed them quickly?
(Custom French doors? 3/4 inch hardwood floors? A hidden storage alcove?)

What things about the neighborhood and community have you enjoyed the most?

(Parks and recreation? Neighborhood off-leash dog park? Location to shopping and restaurants? Access to public transportation?)

What upgrades and improvements have you completed since you purchased the home? Are they under warranty?
(New roof? New heat or air-conditioning?)

Smart Selling is a series of articles to help you get educated and prepared to sell your home fast for the highest possible price. Other topics include:

Understanding Fair Market Value and List Price

Should You Update Your Home to Sell?

Where's La Morinda?--Oh, Thanks Google Maps

A colleage at my office is uprooting the family and has decided to move to La Morinda. When he told me, I sort of had that blank stare for a moment. Albeit brief, my stare was a dead giveaway that I had no idea where this "La Morinda" was. He politely explained that La Morinda is a colloquialism for a tricity area comprised of Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda. Hence, La-Mor-Inda.

I'm sure that the contributor of the Wiki entry for "lamorinda"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamorinda would be happy to glean any more useful tidbits for lamorinda. I, for one, still do not know how to spell it. Do I treat it as a derivative from the Latin as I did above in the feminine using "La" followed by "Morinda?" Or, do i just do what they did and let just roll with no spaces as in lamorinda? Let me know.

I do not pretend to know the real estate there either. I consider my self a specialist. I specialize in Fremont, Newark and Union City real estate here http://www.tricityhome.com. Although, I or another broker here could probably pull it off and represent him in lamorinda, (I have sold homes in Disco Bay, Milpitas, Menlo Park, but Fremont real estate agents need to keep the best interest of the client in mind. Let the local specialist help them. I did not even have to think twice about referring him to Pacita Dimacali at Gallagher and Lindsey in Alameda. One of her sites is here http://www.alamedahomefinders.com/. I refer all my outbound clients to her.

In spite of all that, I had did some reading about the endeared place up north. It sounds like a nice place to live. Spelling it correctly is just icing on the cake I suppose. He will be missed.

Look for his 5 bedroom 2.5 bath home in Union City coming up on the market soon in the upper 600k's.
