selling home arizona: Do's and Don'ts of Hosting a Successful Open House - 04/27/18 08:36 AM
The Do's and Don'ts of Hosting a Successful Open House 
Open Houses generate Buyers
 
As your Realtor may tell you, for anyone selling a home, the open house is one of the most standard—and most dreaded—rituals in the process of attracting buyers. While many sellers and some realtors feel that open houses are more effective at reeling in nosy neighbors than serious buyers, there is no doubt that they help generate interest and drive traffic to your home. Therefore, if you are committed to finding a buyer, it may be worthwhile to endure the hassle of hosting a few open houses.

selling home arizona: Value of REALTOR® when selling....Negotiating for YOU! - 09/26/17 02:57 PM
Having a REALTOR® provides real value to a Seller who wants to get the best price for their home. Having your own REALTOR®, like me who will look out for you and your best interests and negotiate for you with a Buyer. Selling a home at the lowest commission is not what a Seller should be looking for. Selling a home at the best price with the most dollars in their pocket at close of escrow is the real issue. Finding qualified buyers, negotiating for you and great service, taking the steps of putting the listing on the market, advertising on thousands of Real … (2 comments)

selling home arizona: Value REALTOR® Provides For Highest Selling Price - 09/23/17 04:43 PM
Having a REALTOR® provides real value to a Seller who wants to get the best price for their home. Selling a home at the lowest commission is not what a Seller should be looking for. Selling a home at the best price with the most dollars in their pocket at close of escrow is the real issue. This plus great service, taking the steps of putting the listing on the market, advertising on thousands of Real Estate websites, handling of the showings, inspections, contract steps right through to the close of escrow.

selling home arizona: Aaaaaah, a "Winding Path" leading to your front door - 01/12/15 01:58 AM
What a difference! A 'winding path' to your front door says,  "BUY ME"!
A nice winding path to the front door says "Come on in"

Forcing a buyer to enter your front door by first walking up your driveway is harsh! The driveway 
entrance says, go away, this is not a friendly home.

Even with a nice home, forcing a visitor to front door through the driveway says "Go Away"
