bristow va listing agent: The Importance of Broader Appeal When Selling
- 12/15/21 12:15 PM
The Importance of Broader Appeal When Selling
The intensely seller favored market, happening in so many places around our country, has homes flying off the shelves. In the process, some sellers are getting sucked into believing that doing nothing to their home will gain them just as much money. Unfortunately, that is not how it works.
The broader appeal a home has, the more buyer enthusiasm exists.
The more buyer enthusisam exists, the more buyers will be want the home.
The more enthusiastic buyers writing offers, the higher the price goes.
It is pretty simple. Yet, so many sellers are taking the zero on basic listing … (6 comments)

bristow va listing agent: If You Are Going to Stage...

If You Are Going to Stage...
If there is one thing you need to know about me, I am a stickler for details. That attention to detail is what I bring to my sellers before we list their homes. Things that incongruous, eye sores, or just dirty need to be dealt with before staging with furniture items even matters.
Tonight I toured a home in Bristow, one of only two on the market below a particular price point, and it was staged beautifully with art work, living room furniture, dining room furniture, master bedroom furniture, etc. The stager went all out on decor.
What the … (35 comments)

What's Cookin' in the Bristow VA Real Estate Market this Memorial Day?
Our first cook out holiday during a pandemic. Hard to believe we've been sheltering in place since mid-March. St. Patrick's Day was a bust. No restaurants were open and we were ordered to shelter-in-place. Easter was a big downer. Not even churches were allowed to have services. Now, here we are more than two months later and we are still sheltering in place and the community at large are in social media debates daily over whether wearing a mask is necessary to stop the spread of coronavirus. All I want … (6 comments)

bristow va listing agent: "My Buyer Isn't Interested in Multiple Offer Situations"

"My Buyer Isn't Interested in Multiple Offer Situations"
Spring/summer 2018 in the Bristow, VA real estate market, particularly for attached homes priced in the mid-300K's, is slammin'. Sellers are getting offers fast. Just this past week, I listed an attached single family home priced at $349,000. The first showing happened within hours of it hitting the market. Within two hours of that showing, that agent had submitted an offer. That's not unusual.
On this particular listing, my sellers were interested in seeing the max the market would allow for their home. That meant they wanted multiple offers. So we set a time for … (18 comments)

Can You Sell Your Bristow Home During the Month of November?
If you have ever wondered when the best time of year to list your Bristow home would be, you may want to consider November and December. You probably think my brain has too much triptofan floating around in it after Thanksgiving, but hear me out. The end of the year is a fantastic time to list your Bristow home.
Everyone thinks spring is the time to hit the market. Know what that means? Lots and lots of competition. The year end months have very limited inventory in Bristow. However, there are … (12 comments)

bristow va listing agent: What it Takes to Sell Your Home

What it Takes to Sell Your Home
Any home can be listed as it is, or for any amount of money. Getting a buyer to choose your home takes some preparation and analysis on where you fit in price-wise in the current market place. Thanks to HGTV, more and more buyers in the marketplace are expecting move-in ready homes. Even if there is little to choose from in a seller's market, they will pass to see what may on the horizon if there are too many projects they would be taking on to purchase.
What projects are off putting to buyers? As … (15 comments)

Monday Morning Consult the Professional
Monday morning is not something anyone looks forward to arriving. Back to work. Back to school. Mind you, loving my job as a Bristow Real Estate Agent, I actually look forward to Mondays and work. However, this Monday morning did bring some dread as I had an appointment with my dentist first thing. And it wasn't for anything routine. Nope. I'd noticed a tooth ache around the area where I had just had a crow done about three months ago. And the toothache was immediately preceded by my chewing a bit of omelet two weeks ago and having … (11 comments)

A Sign of a Good Real Estate Agent
As a Bristow, Virginia Real Estate Agent, I love that I live in the area where i do most of my business. I get to run into my clients from time to time and it makes me feel like I live in a small town.
Tonight, I attended our neighborhood's Annual Board of Directors Meeting. Mind you, most of my business comes from my neighborhood of Braemar. I was so happy to run into a buyer who I helped purchase a home exactly one year ago today. There wasn't a look of dread on his … (17 comments)

What Are The Odds?
Sometimes things fall out of someone's mouth and you are left wondering if they even heard themselves say it. That happened to me yesterday when chatting it up with a fellow real estate agent in the area. The topic? Powerball. It's a topic of conversation for a lot of people right now. It is an unimaginably large jackpot and that is what some dreams are made of...piles of cash. When I told this agent I wasn't even going to purchase a ticket, and told them it was because the odds were far more likely that something would fall … (17 comments)

The Year in Reviews: Taking Care of Everyone in the Family
Last year (2015) was the year I dedicated myself to beefing up my Zillow profile. I had a few online reviews, but nothing major. Wasn't exactly a check list item after a closing to ask for a review. You better believe it became one in 2015.
One of my favorite reviews was the last one that was posted in 2015 from a family that I helped sell their Bristow home and find another in Gainesville. I still remember how excited their young daughter was that they would be moving from a three bedroom … (13 comments)

When You Know You Are Officially a Listing Perfectionist
Last week I was so excited to go to Consignment Solutions in Leesburg, VA. I frequent the one in Manassas when I need a little something for a listing. These consignment stores are where model home furniture and accessories are unloaded. And as someone who has been learning the fine art of primping a listing with light staging, these stores are to me like Toys 'R Us must be to kids.
My favorite find was one I will likely display in my own home, when not in use at a listing. Three white gerber … (35 comments)

Please Make the Drilling Stop
Ah the life of a real estate agent. It's one of luxury, I'll tell ya. Scamp here will testify to it. Scamp and I shared some quality time in his home while contractors installed a radon remediation system in the basement. The installation involved a lot drilling of concrete. And unfortunately, his parents weren't able to be there for at least an hour.
While the sellers were perfectly fine to have the contractors in the house unattended, I was not as pleased with the idea. Leaving a dog, even as friendly as Scamp, in their home with strangers … (14 comments)

Another Bristow Townhouse SOLD!
On March 11th (2015,) I activated a listing for a Bristow garage townhouse in Braemar. I love selling listings in Braemar because that is my own neighborhood. There is something so satisfying in having buyers flock to an area that I found appealing enough in which to buy.
The townhouse, located at 10153 Pale Rose Loop, was one of the smallest townhouses on the street. It did have a refinished deck and a private lot that backed to trees. However, it was definitely feeling worn. The darker paint on the walls showed the wear and tear of corner bangs and … (15 comments)

The Process of Picking a List Price for Your Bristow Home
Did you hearabout the merger of Zillow and Trulia? Apparently, as I have read, this means the end of the real estate industry as we know it. Agents better pull up their signs and throw away their cards. Zillow is going to put us out of business. Wish I had more time to read all the distressed agents in the world today, but I was busy getting my latest Bristow listing together. Today's Seller appointment was a follow-up to see the work she had done, to help her stage the … (13 comments)
