monroe wisconsin realestate: #2 of 5 Tips for preparing your home for sale.
- 10/22/09 02:28 AM
Tip # 2 Trim back the landscaping. Make sure your windows and entryways are not obscured by overgrown shrubs. Otherwise, you're hiding the home from the street as well as reducing the light that comes in. You want your home to say Welcome. When the scrubs have been tamed now you can see through the windows. Or can you, well not through dirty windows. So clean the windows then open blinds and drapes. This will automatically make a home look more open, brighter.

monroe wisconsin realestate: #1 of 5 Staging Tips for Sellers from Scott Larson
- 10/21/09 06:59 AM
Remove the clutter that we sometimes don't see. Old socks, magazines, and scattered toys are obvious problems, but just as distracting are the various collections that people accumulate over time. One home that I viewed had more Captain Morgan bottles than the local liquor store. Get your clients to pack up the treasures and books on shelves and tabletops. It may be a good idea to rent a storage garage to move out the mementos. Also make sure every photo is put away, buyers can't see themselves living where the current owners family pictures are everywhere and buyers tend to go … (1 comments)
monroe wisconsin realestate: Don't Over-Price your home
- 10/19/09 04:59 AM
The question is how much money have those long days on market listings cost the sellers? The financial loss often exceeds the extra mortgage payments paid and goes beyond the uncompensated hassle factor of trying to keep a home spotless during showings. Not to mention the taxes, utilities, and the delay of moving on with your life. It affects the value that a buyer ultimately chooses to pay because it's not a fresh listing anymore. It's now stale, dated, a market-worn home that was overpriced for too long. Don't let it happen, price your home at the market value.

monroe wisconsin realestate: Can you price a home too LOW?
- 10/16/09 01:51 AM
Can you price a home, Too Low? Homes sell at a price a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept. This is a strainght forward rule. If a home is priced too low, priced under the competition, the seller (should) receive multiple offers to drive up the price to market value. Hence a bidding war. So there is little danger in pricing a home too low. The danger lies in pricing it too high and selecting your agent solely on opinion of value, I beleive would be unwise.

monroe wisconsin realestate: How to Price your Home & Who sets the value of your HOME?
- 10/15/09 02:43 AM
There is alot of talk about who or how the price is determined for listing a home The truth is it doesn't really matter how much money you think your home is worth. Nor does it matter what I think or ten other agents. The person whose opinion matters is the buyer who makes an offer. Pricing homes is part art and part science. It involves comparing similar properties, making adjustments for the differences among them, tracking market movements and taking stock of present inventory, all in an attempt to come up with a range of value, an educated opinion. This … (5 comments)

If you are a first-time home buyer and want to take advantage of the $8000 tax credit, time is really running out now. The deadline to take advantage of this credit is before December 1, 2009. What does this mean to first-time home buyers? Well, it takes about 30-60 days to close on a home barring any issues that may arise. It’s now October, 2009. A buyer must find their home now in order to close on November 30, 2009. That’s just a little under 60 days people. If you are someone who doesn’t like to be rushed, perhaps … (1 comments)

monroe wisconsin realestate: Construction!!!Watch your STEP!!!
- 08/24/09 07:20 AM
Careful the first step is a doozy!!! Because of Monroe's StreetScaping construction in front of the Re/Max office I suggest that you call me first before venturing to the office. We do have an alternate entrance in the rear of our office. It is best accessed by parking in the city parking ramp and then look for the door with the Re/Max balloon on it for entry. call me at 608-214-9844 for the latest . Thank You for your patience.

monroe wisconsin realestate: Shoud you take every listing?
- 05/14/09 03:06 AM
Recently I was asked be a prospective client to list their property. (This is not it) After doing an extensive market analysis I determined what I believed to be the appropriate listing price. The client wanted a much higher price, but I showed them that the property didn't match their desired price for the current market conditions. They continued to point out things that had more sentimental value than market value. ( Not the fine plastic chair) I agonized about the decision I was about to make, " I can't spend my time , money, and effort in a listing … (10 comments)
