Price gets the seller in the door (or on the website)but no one buys a house just because the price is right! An offer is made because the house meets the buyer's expectations in the presentation! Only 3 - 10% of buyers can see what the house could be, make sure you show them. A few pieces of furniture, some well placed accessories, a coat of paint and new carpet can transform your house into an offer! This house was on the market for over one year.

Family traditions are so important and that's why we fell in love with the Elf on The Shelf book set. Inside the book set you will find an antique-style Elf, formed to sit on a shelf or perch in your house, as well as a book that explains what the Elf is for. He has an important job. This Elf is assigned to watch over your family and report back to Santa each night about who has been naughty or nice that day. By morning he's back but he's in a different place in the house for a daily hide-and-seek ritual … (2 comments)
