reasons why you should consider having a real estate professional
assist you in
the sale of your home. A small sampling of these reasons include:
- Are you experienced in advertising and marketing of
real estate?
- Do you know how much your home is worth?
- Are you familiar with all the financing options
available to buyers?
- Will you feel comfortable asking questions to qualify
buyers?
- Do you have time to follow up on all the details
necessary to close the deal?
- Do you have the contracts available to close the deal
once an offer is made?
- Can you provide all the proper legal "disclosure"
forms?
If you choose not to list your property with a REALTOR® there is
still
information and
guidance that we can provide to help you through the process such as:

Simple Ways to Increase a Home's Value
Good home
maintenance is key to creating and preserving a home’s value; not to
mention, it also impresses potential buyers. Here are five basic steps that every home owner
ought to
take — before spending money on dream bathrooms or gourmet
kitchens. Source: The
Associated Press, James and Morris
Carey (12/29/07)
- Safety. Make sure smoke detectors and carbon
monoxide
detectors are installed and in good working order. Check
fuel-burning
appliances to make sure they are properly vented and no gas connections
leak. Make sure the electrical system is adequate.
Flickering lights
and popping breakers are the sign of a problem. Anchor handrails
and
grab bars adequately.
- Preventive maintenance. Repair any leaks in the roof, seal gaps
in the
siding, paint bare wood, replace damaged decking, patch cracks in
concrete and caulk around tubs and showers.
- Conserve energy. Install a programmable thermostat,
weatherstrip doors and windows, fix leaking faucets, upgrade
insulation and replace leaky windows.
- Go green. Consider environmentally friendly
materials
for windows, doors, siding, decking, fencing, roofing, flooring and
insulation.
- Improve comfort. Get rid of clutter, open up spaces,
update
window treatments to allow in more light and organize closets and
storage.

Minor Improvements That Bring Big Results
Sellers who refuse
to make minor repairs are likely to pay dearly for their stubbornness,
says Sid Davis, author of the new book Home Makeovers That Sell (AMACOM, 2007).
Here are some of Davis’
suggestions for sellers who want to get the most out of the deal.
- Start with
the kitchen; it’s the most important room in the house for most buyers.
Refacing the cabinets or sanding them and painting them white is often
a worthwhile undertaking. If the flooring is in poor condition,
replace
that too.
- Update the bath. While paint and
flooring
help here too, sellers may find spending $200
to replace the mirror and vanity set will net them the
greatest payoff.
- Clean the
laundry room. Hire a carpenter to install built-in shelving and
repaint
and replace worn flooring. Upgrade the light fixtures.
- Scrub, scrub, scrub. Squeaky clean
wows
buyers, Davis says. “If people think [a home] is super neat, they'll
give [the seller] the benefit of the doubt. If it's dirty,
they'll
assume it's ridden with hidden
defects,'' he says.

buying or selling, choose Wisely"
