Buyers, when writing an offer on a home that you wish to purchase, be aware that an offer is so much more than the price. Inspection and financing contingencies, amount of earnest money, closing date, Seller concessions, home warranties, etc, All of these affect how the Seller looks at your offer.
Having a Buyer's Agent who is knowledgeable in the art of negotiating is extremely important.
Good luck on getting your offer accepted and moving in to the house of your dreams!

The housing market in the Upstate of South Carolina has become much more competitive. Many communities are beginning to see homes remain longer on the market and the bargaining pendulum swing in favor of the buyer. This is called a buyer's market, as the number of available homes outnumbers the buyers. As a seller, your challenge is to turn a buyer's market to your advantage.
The right price is vital, because overpricing your home can cause you to eliminate potential buyers and lengthen the time that your home stays on the market. But equally important is making sure that you give your home a competitive edge by giving it creative eye appeal.
Many homeowners make the mistake believing they are selling "their home," but once on the market your home is actually a product. You need to create an environment the buyer can't resist. In other words, do everything you can to make the home so attractive, charming, cozy, inviting, comfortable and exciting that a buyer will want to buy that lifestyle for himself.
This can be accomplished by making just a few improvements in your home's presentation. Here are some guidelines to make your property distinctive and memorable.
1. Eliminate clutter. Have you ever noticed how model homes are perfect with no mess, clutter, or mass of personal belongings heaped about? There should only be a few exquisite and well-placed accessories on tables, desks, chests, etc. Also, clear kitchen and bathroom counters and furniture of everything except decorative accessories. Put the personal things--cosmetics, toiletries, clothes, bills, papers, and homework-out of sight. Tuck wastebaskets under counters or inside cabinets. Clutter and personal belongings detract from the important features of the home. 3. Create custom spaces. Luxury master bathrooms, decorator kitchens, built-in cabinets, computer workstations, exercise rooms, and children's play areas are the kinds of features that generate sales appeal. Even if you don't have these specific custom spaces, you can fashion them or suggest the potential for creating them. Accessories, mirrors, plants and fluffy new towels can generate a feeling of luxury even in a plain-Jane bathroom. Turn an extra bedroom into an exercise room if you've got the equipment, or a loft space into a child's play area or hobby center. 4. Keep it clean. Dust, vacuum, mop and polish on a regular basis. You're not selling the furniture, but a high shine on wood furniture and floors can make a room sing. Touch up nicks on walls and make sure the sinks and tubs and fixtures shine. Windows should sparkle. Keep yards and landscaping neat and attractive. Add color spots of flowers to perk up entryways and yards. 6. Consult with a professional. There are decorator professionals trained to "stage" a home for sale. They are able to offer an objective view of what buyers are looking for in your competitive market. Depending upon location, neighborhood, demographics and price range, the special touches that turn on buyers may range from splashy master bathrooms and gourmet kitchens to children's play areas or home offices.
You don't have to spend a great deal of money to give your property the competitive edge. Just try to imagine the kind of lifestyle your target buyer would enjoy, and use a few decorative touch-ups to create it.

I wanted to take a moment to send this e-mail on behalf of Sheri Sanders. My house has been for sale for the past 16 months both by owner and with a Real Estate Company. I have never been one who has been fond of the real estate industry or real estate agents/brokers as I truly have never had one that I felt represented the best interests of me the customer/client. Sheri and I got acquainted via an e-mail I had sent looking for information not even related to Prudential. She e-mailed me and followed up with me immediately. When I explained to her that I was not interested in a real estate agent she apologized for the misunderstanding/inconvenience which she was not even responsible for. She then told me if I ever needed a realtor she would be happy to come and speak with me. Now, as I stated above I DO NOT LIKE REALTORS. In fact, I filed a complaint against a Real Estate Comnay, with the Licensing commission and almost had to get a restraining order against one of their agents. Sorry, I digress. With my situation of needing to sell my home I was truly running out of time and had spoken with another neighbor who Sheri represented. I figured nothing was happening by myself and at least if I was going to bite the bullet and get another realtor I might as well use the largest company in SC. Well, this time I hit the jackpot. Not only has Sheri responded quickly to my needs actually getting a contract on my house in 10 days from when we listed it but she has been helpful in other ways as well. During the negotiation of the price Sheri guided me to help me make the best decision. She gave me her true opinion on how she believed we should proceed but never bullied me into a choice. The couple purchasing my home has given us 20 days to pack up and get out. Sheri knew this was a problem as we are needing to rent for awhile and not buy and do not have any family in the south to move in with. Although it was not her responsibility to find me a rental home she explored many avenues to help out. As it turned out I found a great property to rent on my own but I know if I had not she would have done everything she could to make sure we had somewhere to go. During the 10 days on the market we had several really good showings. Sheri made sure to provide relevant feedback as quickly as possible. Unlike other realtors who wanted to point out flaws that they wanted to see fixed like a whole new paint job, or warranties, or closing costs etc. Sheri walked into my home, looked around and thought they were crazy. She said my house was in great shape and the little things I had done to make it more appealing like some new paint in rooms as needed (lived here 4 years with 2 young boys), new paint in garage, shutters, front door and reglazing my kitchen cabinets was more than enough. She also said that my house was immaculate and well cared for. This did more for me than anything else at a time when things have been so negative in my life. Sheri said that my home, decorations, yard etc. were beautiful and she couldn't understand why the house hadn't sold. I know why, lack of caring by other realtors!!!!!! . Although I feel bad that I cannot give Sheri more commission than she will get at the end of the month when we close I did feel the need to send this e-mail to you. I have already recommended and talked up Sheri to other neighbors who will be looking to sell in the near future and am hoping Sheri gets a shot with them. I know that word of mouth advertising by a satisfied customer is the ultimate goal of any good sales professional and trust me I speak a lot of words. I just wanted you to know how lucky you are to have Sheri on your team and am know that when I am ready to buy or sell again I will look to Sheri for her help.

Sheri was friendly, fun, motivated, and made me feel like the most important client she had even though she was busy and my house wasn't going to be even close to her biggest paycheck.
Erin C.

Sheri's patience and hard work were unbelieveable. She is the most considerate and professional person I have ever met. Sheri never lost her patience with us and could not do enough for us! She really earns her commission. She is just one of the nicest people I have ever met.
Warren R.
Sheri was personable, professional, honest and always available when we needed her. We were on a time crunch and it felt like we were her priority. We happened to find Sheri by chance a few years ago when looking at a house she had listed. She quickly became our agent and has helped us find 2 homes and sell 1. She has also helped my parents in purchasing.
Tim and Amy
Sheri is very dedicated to her profession. We have delt with others and Sheri is the best. She is always cheerful and answers and returns calls. She gives good advice. She is perfect. My husband and I are very happy with her.
