listing: Getting Your House Ready to Sell Series: The Closets - 06/04/08 04:22 PM
My clients often ask me if they should empty the closets before marketing their homes.
Honestly, buyers don't expect your closets to be empty--if the closets are, they are going to know that there is no way that you lived in the house that way. They want to be able to imagine how … (7 comments)

If you live in house that is more than 7 years old, chances are pretty good that the bushes and shrubs planted by the builder have filled in pretty well in the front of the house.

listing: Getting Your House Ready to Sell Series: What is that SMELL? - 05/22/08 11:34 AM
I cannot tell you how many times I have taken a client in to a house only to be told that it 'smells.' This can be a good smell or a bad smell, but anything that offends the senses will be noted.
The obvious offendors are cooking odors. Some that come … (9 comments)

listing: Getting Your Home Ready to Sell Series: The Condition Matters! - 04/10/08 07:36 AM
In my years of selling real estate, and working with buyers, I have never had a client say to me,” find me a house that is in marginal condition.” I have had requests for fixer-uppers and requests for homes in excellent condition, but nothing in between.
When you decide to sell … (1 comments)

listing: When the Numbers Don't Add Up - 02/11/08 12:00 PM
By now I expect that most sellers have heard that buyers expect the homes they are purchasing to be in good, if not excellent, condition. I have shown homes recently where the fact that the homes were not in good condition appeared to be reflected in the asking price. The specific … (1 comments)

listing: Thanks for Showing... - 11/30/07 11:52 AM
It is a challenging market and I truly appreciate the agents that show my listings and I especially appreciate their feedback. One little thing that bugs me, however, is the number of agents who do not leave their business cards in the property. Yes, I know that all that information is … (5 comments)
