luxury gull lake homes: May Good Listings be with You!

Janice did such a great job on this presentation that I had to share it. Home Staging can make a huge difference in the way a property is perceived and reflect in the desirablity and value. From an appraisors point of view the number of bedrooms, square footage and style of home remain the same. From a buyer's point of view those things also do not change but they look differently.

luxury gull lake homes: Interest Rates for February 24, 2011
- 02/24/11 03:31 PM
If you are in the market for a home, then the interest rates are going to be very interesting. If not buying, then selling- they will still be important- because the interested parties for your home sale are probably going to be financing some or all of the purchase.
Well I have good news for you either way- the rates are still very favorable.
What are you waiting for?

luxury gull lake homes: Crow Wing County Fair Joke
- 08/04/10 02:51 AM
While working in my Keller Williams/ Re$ale Design booth at the Crow Wing County Fair, this bit of humor came my way. The fair is an interesting place with many fashion and cause statements being made and jokes flying. Yesterday was HOT with a Heat Index of 101 outside. I was in a metal building with little ventilation and many people. Hopefully today will be cooler and maybe I will hear another joke for you. A DEA officer stops at a ranch in South Dakota, and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect … (4 comments)

- 09/04/09 03:20 AM
I am signing up for a Webinar sponsored by the National Association of REALTORS and am thinking how sad it is that we need to even consider these issues. Although I have not had any trouble or even felt uncomfortable at a showing or an open house, I know others who have. I have also heard of robberies, rapes and murders of agents. I am not naive enought to consider that this could not happen in my area. It Could! I am going to do what I can to prevent it from happening to me. To sign up for the … (6 comments)

luxury gull lake homes: Who Doesn't Like Apple Pie?
- 08/20/09 11:13 AM
Most buyers are looking for a well-maintained house in apple pie order. They will be looking to buy as much house as they can get and still leave a little dough for changes to adapt things to their personal taste. That doesn't mean that they will be looking to dive right into major home improvements, because they won't. The down payment on your home will take most of their savings. After the monthly mortgage payments, taxes and insurance, there is no room in their budget for major repairs. Many buyers today will not consider a house that needs remodeling and … (8 comments)

luxury gull lake homes: Staged~Listed~Sold First Day on the Market
- 07/23/09 02:28 AM
As a REALTOR/Staging Specialist with Keller Williams Realty Brainerd Lakes, my listings are all staged. My listings are selling and selling fast. They are bringing close to the asking price and others are wondering why? I hear the statement that "price will overcome all objections" out of seasoned agents. While probably true, is that in the best interest of your clients? How low can they go? Many things can be done to enhance the desirability of a property that cost nothing. They are moving - why not prepack? Most of us can live with much less than we do. After … (6 comments)

luxury gull lake homes: Stage it - List it- Sell it
- 06/30/09 03:13 AM
Homes are selling but they are not selling for as high a price nor are they selling as quickly. Does that sound familiar in your area?
As a REALTOR/Staging Specialist home stager with Keller Williams Realty Brainerd Lakes, I know at least a partial solution to the problem. In order for your home to sell better and faster than those of the competitions', it needs to be properly presented and be priced competitively, from the start. A home that shows well both outside and inside is going to get offers. When prospective buyers make an emotional connection with … (5 comments)

luxury gull lake homes: Where I have been
- 05/15/09 02:17 AM
A few short weeks ago my husband went in for back surgery. It was to be rather intense as he was having fusion, had a tumor on his spine and a disc that was protruding. They were to take bone from his hip to use in the back and that was to give him some pain during the proposed 5 months of recovery. We are both self employed and his part of that is roofing. So it is no small matter to take off another 5 months(he hasn't been able to work with the pain for 5 months). The doctors … (13 comments)

With the present economic troubles, we have lost a few Brainerd/Baxter businesses.
