1. Location. Over history it's been said that the three things to look for in buying a property are (1) Location, (2) Location, and (3) Location. There are positive and negative factors to almost every location. Let's pretend your property is right next door to a fire station. You need the kind of marketing professional that can sell the benefits of not having to worry about your new home burning down, or perhaps the savings on fire insurance. Seriously, no matter where your property may be located, there is a ready, willing, and able buyer in the marketplace. You just have to be creative and sell the benefits.

2. Condition. Making a good first impression is important in getting a property sold. Painting the front door and trim, making sure the doorbell works, putting furniture and clothing in storage, and cleaning off counter tops are just a few of the little things we suggest to our customers and clients to make properties more marketable. We would be more than happy to provide you with a Merchandising Review free of charge. A Merchandising Review is a list of 18 Factors that cause properties to sell. We spend the extra time necessary with every client to assure all the little details are taken care of. It's that attention to detail that sets us apart and enables us to get properties sold.

3. Price. How quickly you want to sell has a direct bearing on the price that you will actually receive for your property. When properly pricing your property, you should consider the statistics regarding listed price vs selling price. This gives you a realistic guideline as to what's really happening in the marketplace. It may not be what you want to hear. However, for an honest price analysis of your property, call us and we will share with you the price we honestly expect you to receive in today's real estate market.

4. Terms. Are you flexible as to possession dates? Many times serious buyers who are relocating to an area only look at those properties that offer immediate possession. Are you willing to assist the buyer with financing? Sometimes a seller who is willing to assist with financing will help a property to sell. Are you buying another property? If you are willing to consider trading part or all of your equity for another property, that makes your property more attractive in the marketplace. Call us directly for a complete analysis of all the terms you could offer to make your property more marketable.

5. The Agent and Company You Select.
We pride ourselves on selling properties that other agents couldn't sell. We understand the frustrations involved when sellers are not able to accomplish their real estate objectives. If you're serious about selling and not just listing your property, call us today. We will give you an honest evaluation of what it is going to take to get your property sold. We will share with you our proven marketing systems that have enabled us to help so many sellers accomplish their real estate objectives!

We have all heard of different things for preparing our properties for listing. Home staging, updating curb appeal, painting and de-cluttering, are all different ideas to help contribute to the successful sale of a home. But here is a new one: a Pre-listing Inspection.

A home inspection is a common subject added to almost all contracts now. So why not do a Pre-Listing inspection to catch any of those little things the inspector will find and help show off how great your home is to potential Buyers. Here are a few things to check out.

1) Check that all interior and exterior doors work properly and quietly (no squeaking) and that all door knobs latch and lock properly.

2) Check that all lights work properly and that all switches in your home do something! If you have a switch that does nothing have a licensed electrician check it out and if it really does not do anything have the switch removed and a blank cover replace it.

3) Tighten all bolts that hold your toilet to the floor and the tank to the toilet. Also make sure there are no leaks.

4) Check that all your kitchen and bathroom faucets work properly and the hot and cold water are turned on by the hot and cold taps. Also insure all of your drains work and they are not slow.

5) Clean all exhaust fans and ensure they are working correctly. Any room with a shower in it should have an exhaust fan.

6) Check your stairs inside and out! Make sure all supports and railings are secured properly and replace any broken or weathered steps.

These are just a few simple things to make sure are in order before that all important offer comes in on a home.
