home selling: Think about that first impression?
- 02/20/17 08:02 AM
I was reading Sharon Tara's post today Creating a Positive first impression- Burden of Proof falls on Sellers which was excellent and well worth reading about the first impression on a buyer. Just click the link, take your time, we'll be here when you get back. It reminded me of something about 36 or 37 years ago. If you read my posts, you know I grew up in a family of antique dealers and I was an antique dealer as well exhibiting all over the world. At one of these shows, at TEFAF in Maastricht, a city in the south of Holland, often called … (23 comments)

home selling: I need you to be present at every listing
- 07/24/14 12:36 AM
I need you to be present at every listing. When taking a listing, part of our job requires us to explain to sellers how each demand they make affects a buyer trying to see the house. As was commented in another post by Beth Atalay shoes off is common, and in our area we provide booties to wear over shoes when sellers request this because of new or freshly cleaned carpets. But, there are several reasons why sellers request an agent to be present. They want the agent to sell the buyers on any special features in the house. They believe their … (2 comments)
home selling: But the seller said...
- 05/24/14 04:09 AM
Regardless of what a seller or buyer says during negotiations, viewings of a property or anything else relating to the sale of real property it needs to be put in writing. Our Pennsylvania standard form agreement of sale even says this within the contract. So however nice that little old couple is, "GET IT IN WRITING".
When there is a problem, the contract is what everyone, buyers, sellers, brokers, agents and eventually attorneys and judge will look at to see what it says. If it is not in writing, you are not going to win. So ALWAYS, get everything agreed … (1 comments)
home selling: Should you or shouldn't you?
- 04/28/14 06:46 AM
It is always a point of discussion as to whether you should hold an open house or not when selling your home? In this video, Nick Vandekar, Selling the Main Line, with Long & Foster Real Estate in Devon discusses his viewpoint.
This opinion relates to regular home sales and not necessarily the entire luxury home market where an open house hosted correctly can still be very effective. What do you think? Should you or shouldn't you have an Open House? … (1 comments)
home selling: There are only three reasons why your home does not sell!
- 02/14/13 05:38 AM
There are only three reasons why your home does not sell. That's right three. Even with the worst marketing it comes down to this, of which you can only do something about two of them. 1) Price 2) Condition 3) Location Obviously you cannot do anything about the location of your home. If it is not in the school district buyers want, or it is located under or within sight of high tension electric wires these are going to affect the sale of your home. But the other two things, Price and Condition you have the option to improve before you list. Condition. I am amazed at … (1 comments)

The market for homes on the Main Line outside of Philadelphia is seeing every month a reduction in the inventory of homes available. All this year the supply of homes for sale has been reducing every month. At the beginning of the year it was at a 14 and 15 months supply, this past month it has dropped to just above 8.
We are having a hard time finding homes for clients in some price ranges, and we are hearing of multiple offers on many of the homes going under agreement. Because of this prices have firmed and even risen in … (0 comments)
home selling: Exorcism helps home to sell!
- 09/13/12 05:55 AM
I recently had a client bury a St Joseph to help their home sell, did it work, yes, we got the home under contract shortly after she buried the figure and it went through to settlement. Today I was reading a similar story on a Zillow blog but in addition it mentioned a relocation company using an exorcism to address the issue of the local agents and neighborhood feeling the house was haunted. I know we prayed at the home of one client who also had problems with noises in the house late at night and in the attic rooms, after … (1 comments)
home selling: Great offer for new homeowners
- 02/16/11 08:11 AM
Great offer for new homeowners along the Main Line. I recently did a seminar with Deb Bettcher of Decorating Den Interiors in Devon at our local Easttown library and was amazed at some of Deb's before and after pictures for projects she has worked on. Deb has generously offered any clients I refer to her a free intial consultation great for when you have just moved in and a 10% discount on window treatments, one of those things that most new owners need first. I also added Deb to my list of contractors and other providers of services locally that many … (0 comments)

Curb appeal and the role of Landscaping Curb appeal When you are preparing your Tredyffrin Easttown home for sale you must see it through the eyes of potential buyers. You want that initial curb appeal impact to be a positive one, creating a desire that when they enter your home only increases.

Landscaping Landscaping can bring a big impact for low cost, sometimes it requires removing things as opposed to adding. Don't be limited by your property … (3 comments)
