sell your home: Customer Service - how important is it? - 02/27/09 03:53 PM
What do you look for in customer service?  Is it a smiling face, going the extra mile, bringing a cup of coffee?  I'll tell you what I like. 
I'm sitting at the Power Kia Customer Lounge in Salem, OR.  As the proud owner of a pre-used Kia Optima, let me tell you, these people know customer service.  When I first brought the car here, I was a new owner & had a problem with the driver's door - it wouldn't open.  They went above & beyond, looking it over for me and asked if my timing belt had been replaced.  Turns out … (1 comments)

sell your home: Coffee Cup Wisdom - 01/29/09 04:11 PM
I love my coffee.  Straight up black at home and work, but when I'm out with friends, meeting clients, or just wanting a break, it's a grande Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks - with whip!
One of my favorite things to do is read the little "The Way I See It" quotes on the sides of the cup.  A while back they "decided" they were going back to the original look and I thought the quotes were gone forever - tragedy!  But no, at this point at least our local Starbucks on Pacific Blvd. at the Fred Meyer is back to having … (3 comments)

sell your home: Why I do what I do... - 01/15/09 06:40 PM
So I was sitting here and thinking...in this struggling economy, why is it that I stay in Real Estate?  Here are a few of the reasons I thought of:
1. I love the people.  You simply cannot trade the feeling that you get when you help that young couple buy their first home, or that single make the most confident step of independence.
2. I love a challenge.  Ok, so lately, I could do with a little LESS challenge, but there is a certain amount of a "high" you get from matching people up to homes.
3. I love my town.  In Albany, … (3 comments)

sell your home: A few more ways to boost your home's showmanship... - 01/08/09 06:34 PM
So yesterday, I posted a few easy tricks to make your home show & present itself better in this current market.  Today, I thought I'd talk a bit about some ways to make it better that might cost a little more and/or take a bit more time.
Clean the carpets.  Really, this isn't that expensive of an item (depending on the size of your house) but it can make a night & day difference in how your home shows.  Think about it, if you were buying a home, wouldn't you want to walk into one that looked & smelled super-clean?  If … (1 comments)

sell your home: Is your home "show ready"? - 01/08/09 12:08 AM
There are a few little things that you can do to easily make your home "show ready".  Here are some quick & easy things to do:
Put away medications.  You don't want people to see what kinds of meds you're on, and believe me, if they're out, people look.  Throw dirty clothes, towels, etc into a hamper.  It will only take a few minutes and it will make the room look so much better.  If you don't have a hamper, you can put them in a plastic bag, laundry basket or whatever & put them in the garage, a closet or the laundry room.  … (2 comments)

sell your home: The winter chill doesn't have to affect the sale of your home - 12/17/08 03:00 PM
Just because it's chilly outside doesn't mean that your house sale is going to go cold.  There are a few things you can do to make it seem more cozy & desirable when people come to view it.  And here's an added benefit, you don't have to spend a fortune to do it!
1. Check the entry.  When people come to view your home, you don't want them to have to battle piles of snow or icy sidewalks.  Take a shovel & clear a path, or throw some rock salt out to melt the steps.  The last thing you need is … (1 comments)
