Getting the Highest Price for Your Home

Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. I have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.

• FHA fees and costs are all fees are now negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.
• Home inspections fees are in some circumstances paid for by the seller and include pest, radon and other inspections.
• Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.

I offer a FREE unique home-hunting service designed to make the home-hunting process both easier and less time-consuming. Many find the traditional home-buying process very frustrating because it's usually the agent who selects which homes you will view, but with our FREE Buyer Profile program, it's you, the buyer, who decides which homes you will take the time to view.

Here's how our FREE home hunting service works: each night our computer searches the main real estate database for all homes (not just our own listings) that match your exact requirements (style of house, square footage, lot size, location, etc.), and then automatically downloads these listings which we then e-mail or fax to you. Daily you receive this free information enabling you to beat out other buyers to new listings.

If you would like to receive regular updates of new listings that match your homebuying criteria simply call our office at 952-997-1960 and we will be happy to assist you.

I offer multiple FREE reports that you can request. They include;

Testimonials

I can't begin to thank Kenden enough for dealing with a very difficult real estate transaction. My spouse and I had deceided to get divorced and put our home on the market. We were not really talking to each other but somehow Kenden seemed to smooth things over and get us through it. We apoligize for this situation but it really worked out well for both of us. I would use Kenden again in a heartbeat. He has my loyality for life when it comes to real estate needs. Name and address withheld by request.

Being a first time home buyer can be a very frightening experience. Kenden did an excellent job of explaining the process and what was expected of us. It really is a partnership when he explained how and what was to be expected from all parties. This cut down on our search time and we were able to locate out new home in just a short time and at the right price. He helped us get our financing first and off we went. Kenden will see us again in a few years when we will then be move up buyers. Thanks for everything. J.G. Minnesota
