selling tips: Why do YOU need a Digital Home History?
- 02/23/17 03:50 PM
When it's time to put your house up for sale you will get some questions from your Realtor. How is old your roof, furnace, A/C, etc... What about the age of the roof? How about the driveway, when was that re-paved?
These are all questions that a potential buyer will ask. They want to know the age of the major items in your home. Some of us will be very organized and all of that information will be in a file folder. For everyone else, it will be a challenge to find dates of these items.

selling tips: Can the pets stay for the showings?
- 01/19/17 05:18 AM
As a pet owner, you love all of your pets. Unfortunately, not every buyer loves pets as much as you do. If you have pets in your home and you are trying to sell your home, it might be a good idea to remove the pets during the showings.
The pets can be a bit of a distraction during showings. The pet lovers may be paying more attention to your pets than your home. The ones that do not own pets might be turned off by the fact you own pets. It's always a good idea to let the buyers come through … (2 comments)

selling tips: Clean your driveway in winter
- 02/23/16 12:09 AM
How difficult can it be to clean your driveway when you are selling your home. I was showing a house to a client the other day and the homeowner had not cleared his driveway from the snowstorm. We had 51.2cm (or 20 inches) of snow come down on our city. A new record for snowfall was broken for the most amount of snow. Let's just say that we did not start off on the right foot for our showing. Our boots were full of snow because we had to jump the snowbank, walking through the snow and finally getting to the … (0 comments)

- 07/13/15 12:47 AM
One of the best things a seller can do to increase the value of their home is start on a few home improvement projects.
The following are some of the least expected upgrades that pack a large return for your investment:

Aside from safe communities, buyers also want safe homes. Steel doors offer a feeling of security and protection.

Wooden decks are ideal for outdoor spaces. They make the home feel larger and typically cost less that brick patios.
3. Improve Curb Appeal

You are getting ready to put your house on the market. What do you need to do before it hits the market?
The first thing you need to do is find out what your competition is. Who cares what the competition is? Well, it has a lot to do with everything.

This is so important because if all of your competition is better than you, then they will sell first. It's not just about the price, it is also about your home, the … (0 comments)

selling tips: Pre-Listing Inspection - worth it?
- 04/06/13 05:51 AM
You are planning on selling your home. You get a few Realtors to go in and give you an estimate of the value of your home. Once you decide on the Realtor you are all set to get your house on the mls system to have visitors and then your offer. With almost every offer you will likely have an inspection clause. This is to protect the Buyer and find out if there is anything wrong with your house.

It's time to sell your home! You hired a Real Estate Agent, the Home Stager has gone in to set the stage and then the professional photographer has taken the best pictures possible. The next step is to get some showings. The Realtor has installed a lock box on your front door for the showings.
The next day you are getting your first showing. Have you tested the key to make sure it opens the door quickly and easily? The first impression is always the best impression for potential buyers. A small key that does not open the door easily can … (0 comments)
