This listing is an exclusive listing and you will not find it on the MLS and the only way to schedule a showing would be through the listing agent, Dennis Sanchez. Any questions about the home, do not hesitate to communicate with me. This home is such a beautiful home that I know I can sell it on my own, even in such a trying market.
I have read and heard that the way to start receiving REO listings you have to do plenty of BPO's, but how do you get started on BPO's? I have read some blogs and I have gotten some websites and I have registered with them, but still no results. What is the start to the REO Market?
With a few less pictures and a smaller plant the entry appears larger and more inviting. The focus is shifted from the plant to the openness of the space.

This beautiful home was hidden behind a wall of foliage. With a little branch trimming, instant "Curb Appeal" was created.
ASPTM Staging Tips
Try looking at your house "THROUGH THE BUYER'S EYES" as though you've never seen it or been there before. Any time or money invested on the following will bring back more money in return, and hopefully a faster sale.
INSIDE:
Clear all unnecessary objects from furniture throughout the house. Keep decorative objects on the furniture restricted to groups of 1, 3, or 5 items.
Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen countertops. If it hasn't been used for three months... put it away! Clear refrigerator fronts of messages, pictures, etc. (A sparse kitchen helps the buyer mentally move their own things into your kitchen.)
In the bathroom, remove any unnecessary items from countertops, tubs, shower stalls and commode tops. Keep only your most needed cosmetics, brushes,perfumes etc.., in one small group on the counter. Coordinate towels to one or two colors only.
Rearrange or remove some of the furniture if necessary. As owners, many times we have too much furniture in a room. This is wonderful for our own personal enjoyment, but when it comes to selling, we need to thin out as much as possible to make rooms appear larger.
Take down, or rearrange certain pictures or objects on walls. Patch and paint if necessary.
Review the house inside room by room, and
Paint any room needing paint.
Clean carpets or drapes that need it.
Clean Windows.
If you need room to store extra posessions use the garage or rent a storage unit. Leave on certain lights during the day. During "showings" turn on all lights and lamps.
Have stereo FM on during the day for all viewings.
OUTSIDE:
Go around the perimeter of the house and move all garbage cans, discarded wood scraps, extra building materials, etc., into the garage.
Check gutters and roof moss and dry rot. Make sure they are swept and cleaned.
Look at all plants... prune bushes and trees. Keep plants from blocking windows. "YOU CAN'T SELL A HOUSE IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT." Plants are like children - they grow so fast!!
Weed and then mulch all planting areas. Keep lawn freshly cut and fertilized. Remove and dead plants or shrubs.
Clear patios or decks of all small items. such as small planters, flower pots, charcoal, barbecues, toys. etc.. (Put them in the garage or a storage unit.)
Check paint condition of the house - especially the front door and trim. "CURB APPEAL REALLY WORKS!"

Return on Staging Investment The following is a summary of the results of HomeGain's 2007 national survey, based on the ten areas of home improvement identified by real estate agents in HomeGain's original survey in 2003. They are listed from the highest to lowest returns on investment:
Sellers who use a real estate professional make 16 percent more on the sale of their home than do sellers who go it alone. Unrepresented sellers often do not understand the complexity, range and timing of tasks they will have to perform if they don't use a professional.
REALTORS® are real estate professionals who are experts in marketing and negotiation. REALTORS® can help a seller set a realistic price and ensure the proper paperwork and various disclosures and inspections are handled correctly. REALTORS® know best how to prepare a home and maximize value, provide broader exposure to the market and are more likely to generate multiple bids than a seller on their own.
In addition, REALTORS® are experts in attracting qualified buyers. A professional can show a home more objectively than can a seller who may be emotionally attached to the home, and who might become unnerved by prospective buyers' critical comments. The real estate pro also checks the financial capability and bona fides of buyers before allowing them onto a seller's property.
Use these materials to convince would-be for-sale-by-owners (FSBOs) of the value of hiring a REALTOR®.
As the chair for the Neighborhood Party that we had on Sept 20, I was very happy with the turnout. We were expecting only about 250-300 people to show up, but we must've had around 500-600. It was a great thing my Colleague and had solicited enough donations of food and beverages to accomodate the amount of people that showed up. I was so excited that it was a succes, since my colleagues Beverly and I, put so much effort into it. This is definitely not the last time that this will happen.
I am an official ASP Realtor. The classes were very exciting and the actual staging of a house was a great way to learn. Even though I knew that staging was a great way to get a great offer for a home, I was amazed at how effective the staging really was, when I actually staged a house as one of our assignments. The before and after pictures were very amazing. I am definitely going to implement the staging in my marketing plan.
There is going to be a trip to Atlantic City. This bus trip is going to be organized by the Hillcrest Association. The trip is going to be for $35 and it includes the transportation and food in the bus. Seats are limited and it will take place September 13, 2008. Because of the quantity of people that go on the bus ride, the casino will return $15 when we arrive. The trip is definitely worth every penny. If you wish to reserve your seat, give me a call at my office 973-790-6996 and ask for Dennis.
