Fix It Before You Show It!


The real estate market has changed.  In the past, all you needed to do was put up a sign and call a real estate agent and poof! You got offers.  If you got one that made you money you took it, it closed and everybody moved.

Things Are Different Now!

            Now many homes sit for months and months.  They are shown 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, and you get no offers.  It frustrates sellers and agents who don’t realize that today’s buyers are looking for turn-key homes.  This means that they turn the key and move right in.  They don’t want to paint, shop for carpeting or wait for the yard to get cleaned up. Buyers today who have the money for a down payment are too busy to do these things and besides, there are too many vacant new homes for them choose from.

So If You Want To Sell…

            You need to clean it, polish it, and make it shine.  If someone takes it or leaves it, they will not even make a low offer on your home.  If you want ideas on what to do, and what not to do, call me for a free no obligation consulting session.  It can only hurt you.
