Seller Info
 The National Association of Realtors Survey found that sellers had 5 questions they wanted answered. Where are you going to advertise my home? What
specific steps are you going to take to market my home? What are your
credentials? What is my home worth? What
will I realize from the sale of my home? If these questions mirror those that you have
I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you personally and share my plan to successfully sell your home in the shortest

BUYERS TIPS IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES | | With inventory
diminishing daily and multiple offers being extremely common, it is of great importance that you position yourself to have
the "Best Chance" to get your offer accepted. You enhance your chance of getting the home of your choice by doing
the following: Get pre-approved for the purchase: Submit a strong competitive offer: Include
substantial earnest money deposit Minimize or eliminate contingencies: Make a buyer profile available: Be
prepared to preview a new property quickly:
Homes sell sometimes in hours. Be prepared to make decisions
quickly and be accessible to change the terms instantly.
Time on the job, flexibility, reason for purchasing
seller's home, etc.
The fewer contingencies, the stronger the offer.:
Acceptance of an offer is
sometimes determined by the amount of the deposit. A larger amount may signify a bigger commitment to the seller.
Submit the offer as if there will be multiple offers.
This takes very little time and is of great value. At
this time, identify the price range for which you qualify and which fits your lifestyle.Buyer and agent

Freshen Up the
Inside… The emotions you’re trying to stimulate are triggered by sensory experiences. Aim for the senses,
especially smell & sight. Clean, fresh smelling homes will sell faster! 1. Badly faded walls or worn woodwork
reduce appeal...selective painting will help to add a fresh look. 2. Check all light bulbs and detail all light fixtures. 3.
Oven ranges and sink clear and neat? 4. Take things out of closets & cabinets that are not essential to your life
and pack them away. 5. Clear stairway and hallways to open them up. 6. Too much furniture? Put it in the garage
or store it or sell it. 7. Bathrooms that sparkle, sell homes & the opposite is true...dirty baths can turn off
a buyer. 8. Does the interior need painting? $100 worth of paint may balance $500 in a price cut. 9.
Does the carpet need cleaning or replacing? 10. Are all appliances clean and in good working order? Minor
Repairs Make Sense… Get all those minor flaws fixed since they detract from your homes value. Don’t make
major changes, except for new carpeting and new paint. 1. Dripping faucets lead buyers to question the plumbing
system. 2. Loose doorknobs, sticking drawers or doors? 3. Fix all caulking, especially in the bathrooms. 4.
In general, if it’s busted...fix it.
