selling a home: The Best of Heather's Hints - How Sellers in Bucks County PA can Get Their Home Ready for Sale - 05/03/09 08:31 PM
My husband and I just spent the day getting our fix and flip investment property in Warminster, PA ready to be put on the market. There is the inevitable list of piddly little "to-do" items that take forever to complete: cabinet hardware on the kitchen cabinets, grills on the A/C vents, toilet paper holders and towel racks in the bathroom. We spent about 5 hours today doing a multitude of tiny things that add up to mean big money in the end. Of course, I played washer woman - nothing like cleaning toilets in a house that was inhabited solely by workmen. … (0 comments)

selling a home: Help! My Listing Expired and I'm Never Gonna Sell This Place! - 02/12/09 07:11 PM
Cute clip-art aside, I know that having your home listing expire without a sale isn't funny or cute: it's scary and disheartening.
I ran a list of expired listings in Bucks County, and boy...there are quite a few. I'm certainly seeing an increase in expired listings, so you are not alone.
You may be panicked at the thought that you will never sell your home. You may feel as if it's a lost cause, or that it'll "never happen."
So, what do you do if your listing has expired?
Decide whether you want to re-list with your current REALTOR (R). … (4 comments)

selling a home: Bucks County Buying "Season?" You Bet! - 09/08/08 12:20 PM
Here in Bucks County, we do have a Selling "Season." Take a look at the table below, and you'll find that May, June, July, and August are our strongest months, while November, December, January, and February are our slowest months. Remember that these are sold properties, and that the properties actually went under agreement prior to the sale date (most likely 30-60 days prior). So, following this, our heavy selling season ramps up in March/April and peters out again in September/October.
What does this mean if you have your house on the market right now? It means get real, get aggressive, … (3 comments)

selling a home: The Quickest Fixes for Your Kitchen and Bath - 08/18/08 03:00 PM
Everyone is sick to death of my preaching about how important kitchens and bathrooms are to Homebuyers. I know, I know, I know.
I harp on it, don't I?
I thought I would share some ideas on some quick fixes to remodel your kitchen and bath if they need a little spruce up before hitting the market. A little money now will save you a lot of money in carrying costs and pricing.
Bathrooms
If your tile is horrific, re-glazing is probably the cheapest option. I only recommend white. With re-glazing, they spray one color, so if you choose blue, the … (3 comments)

selling a home: "It's Tricky, Tricky, Tricky, Tricky." ~ Beastie Boys - 07/18/08 08:43 AM
My dear Sellers in Bucks County, while educating yourself on how to get a quick sale, you're going to find a lot of articles that tout "creative" ideas for getting your home sold.
Offer the Buyers a Car! A boat! A vacation!
Getting tricky isn't the answer. There are only three things a Buyer really cares about: price, location, and condition. That's it. Every other scenario is encompassed by those three concerns. A car isn't going to address any of those concerns, is it? So it's not going to impact your home sale.
Now, there are several things that you can … (4 comments)

selling a home: What NOT to do in a Real Estate Transaction - 01/19/08 09:43 PM
There are several things that you can do to implode your real estate transaction (whether buying or selling). Here they are: 1. Work with the wrong people. There are many people who have a hand in getting you to the settlement table, including, but not limited to: REALTOR (R), home inspector, mortgage company, title company, township U&O personnel. Some, you have a choice in who you work with, others you have to work with who you get. Any of these people can kill a deal. Make sure that you surround yourself with good people on your end, and hopefully they can … (0 comments)
