Sell it faster....

Having trouble selling your home? Slow traffic?

Spring is nearly here. Traffic will pick up, house lookers will be out in force. My main objective is to increase traffic in your home or listing. If lookers can't see beyond your winter- laden lawn, they won't bother to see what's on the inside.

Tips
CLEAN debris from winter; rake up old leaves, blow the lawn, declutter beds. Put down pine mulch or straw to define borders and lastly spruce up beds by removing last seasons dead flowers, careful not to pull up new growth!

Add color by planting flowers such as pansies that can handle cold evenings in spring. Hang a hearty asparagus fern or set a nice topiary near your entryway or door. Welcome buyers to see your home!
Don't let the home buyers pass your home by because of a lack-luster, less appealing yard.

Staging Sells Homes Faster!!

Information from About.com /Home Selling/Buying


Preparing Your Home for Sale
Compare suggestions and consider accepting the most sound advice. Generally, you will want to move out bulky and excess furniture.

Repairs Before Selling
Not all resale repairs will pay off. You don't want to spend a lot of money making improvements but you do want to repair obvious maintenance issues, if any have been neglected.

Home Staging
You can hire a professional stager, ask your agent to help stage or stage it yourself. You will get more for your home if it is staged.
Home Pricing

Do not select an agent based on suggested sales price. Some will overbid each other to get the listing. But do not overprice. Homes that are overpriced often sell for less than market value

This is where I can help.
Call me today to so we can discuss how I can assist you in selling your home faster!
