This is truly a great article that would be worth your time to read if you are currently in the process of selling your house. This interesting piece of writing will guide you in some specific things you can do that will expedite the sale of your home. Elizabeth Weintraub is a gifted writer, but more important, she understands how to welcome prospective buyers into your home. Her article is simply the best I've read on this subject.

By the way, something that isn't mentioned as forcibly as I would prefer, is the fact that when Realtors show your house, make sure you the owners get lost! I am a firm believer that homeowners should not be home when their home is being shown. Additionally, the answer is "Yes" that I have printed this blog before. It is worth reading again.

I am a simple person. Similarly, in Real Estate, I have simple rules that I follow as a Real Estate Agent when working with clients who want to purchase a home. Right at the top of my list is this: Everyone, without exception, MUST be pre-approved for a mortgage (unless they are cash buyers) before I will show them even one house in the Northern Virginia Real Estate market or anywhere in Northern Virginia! Why? When you are pre-approved, you then know how much house you can afford and it also informs the seller that you are a serious buyer. Furthermore, once you have your pre-approval, I will then take you to any house that you want to see; up to the amount the lender has pre-approved you for. It is that simple!

There is a problem though and that is, many people do not understand the mortgage process and as a result are not adequately prepared to go house hunting. Here is a test you can take to find out what you may know or need to learn about securing a mortgage. Basic Mortgage and Loan Quiz - Think you have a grasp of what it takes to get a mortgage or other loan? This quick five-question quiz will let you know.

I've listened to many home sellers, at times, express frustration because their Real Estate Agent prefers to not hold an Open House for them. As a fellow agent, I certainly understand that the worth of holding a house open in some agents eyes is really quite debatable. On the other side of the coin, I for one have sold many homes because of hosting a traditional Open House.

There is good news for frustrated sellers that might actually encourage agents to reconsider this method of marketing. In fact, this news certainly gives us reasons to continue keeping homes that are for sale, open. You can read about it in this article, Marketing Perks of Traditional Open Houses.

I hope you find this writing to be informative.

The advice could save you money and other mistakes. I urge you, if you are thinking about making this kind of purchase to invest five minutes of your time in reading this.

I know some of you who are reading this Blog don't even want to think about what this Real Estate Agent is referring to in this writing. Here is the truth though. Late fall and the winter season is just around the corner. In fact, Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. Most people agree that in the more northern parts of these United States, selling a house in the middle of the winter can be a bit more challenging. Some even wonder if it is worth the time to list their house for sale.

My personal experience is that I've done very well in the heart of the winter season when it comes to listing and selling property. I've personally sold million dollar plus homes in February with the snow flying and 20 degrees for a high temperature in the mid-afternoon was the actual high for the day. So what does it take to prepare your house and then to see a sale actually occur?

If you need to sell your house in the next few months, consider taking four or five minutes to read the following article. It is called: 13 Tips for Selling Your Home in the Winter - When the snow is swirling and would-be buyers are scarce, a few extra steps could make a difference.

Remember, knowledge can be power when endeavoring to sell your home. If I can help you in this process, please do not hesitate to Write or Phone me.
