selling a minnesota home: Video Guide to Get YOUR Home Ready for Sale in 30 Days or Less
- 02/18/18 07:33 PM
Sellers Need a Cheat SheetShortly after becoming a REALTOR® and after visiting several homes in the north and east Twin Cities metro, I realized when sellers invited me over to give them a market analysis they didn't just want an estimate of their current equity. Potential home sellers needed specifics on how to prepare their home for sale. I would walk through the home and make suggestions but sellers wanted a checklist or cheat sheet. Over a decade ago, I wrote my Teri's Top 10 Tips for a Fast Sale informational flyer. My clients used this print out as their guide … (1 comments)
selling a minnesota home: It’s Cold. It’s Snowy. Why Should I List My Mpls/StPaul Home Now?
- 01/06/15 03:36 AM
Tonight Twin Citians will be facing some of the most brutal cold in Minneapolis/St Paul so far in 2015. People from other parts of the country think we must be crazy to live where temperatures reach into the double digits below zero. Who in their right mind would contemplate listing their home for sale when it is so darn cold?
Smart sellers, that’s who.
There is a misconception out there; People think no one moves in January in Minnesota. It’s so darn cold we all must be literally frozen to the ground. But Minnesotans don’t hibernate. We go to work, the … (8 comments)
selling a minnesota home: Tips to Stage, Show & Sell YOUR Home during the HOLIDAYS!
- 12/02/14 05:33 AM
With Thanksgiving's turkey leftovers all but a memory, the holiday season is in full swing. It is the time of year when my clients with their homes on the market, start calling for advice. On or off the market for the holidays? What a great question! My answer is always, if possible, keep it on! Most home sellers are more inclined to withdraw their home from the market for a few months. This is especially true in Minnesota where a white Christmas is almost a guarantee. Old Jack Frost has been nipping at the nose early this year so … (8 comments)
Selling a home in the summer isn't rocket science but with a bit of thought a home can sell quickly and for top dollar. With the nice weather many more buyers are searching for their dream home and not just on the internet. They will drive by homes in the warmer months to check out the neighborhood and what the exterior looks like in person. During the winter about all you can do is hope for a fresh blanket of snow and shovel the sidewalk to jazz up the exterior of a Minnesota home. But in the summer, there … (3 comments)
selling a minnesota home: Viking Purple is NOT a Good Paint Color for a Front Door!
- 09/27/13 01:27 AM
Not if you want to sell your house that is. Home buyers gravitate toward certain colors. And unfortunately, purple is one of the top five turn offs as a front door color. In an article by Angie’s List “What are the best front door colors to sell your home?” color choices were put to the test. Home buyer surveys nixed purple as a favorite. Believe it or not, I have seen Viking purple used on front doors of Minnesota homes. In our family we have an old family saying that “it looked better on the paint chip” when we see … (8 comments)

Thanksgiving is only a week away...the relatives are planning for a visit...the t urkey is in the freezer and grandma's secret stuffing recipe has been pulled from the vault. Yes, the holiday season is almost here but the house hasn’t sold. What should a home seller do?A first inclination for most home sellers would be to withdraw their home from the market for a few months. This is especially true in Minnesota where a white Christmas is pretty common. There is a belief that the home buyers will be preoccupied with the holiday season and only a handful of people … (6 comments)

Providing Extraordinary Real Estate Service! In my book, extraordinary service is doing what needs to be done to help resolve a situation, even when it is a long shot or falls into the “not-my-job” category. As a REALTOR® in the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area, I always try to provide extraordinary service to my home buyer and sellers but last week a New York garbage man has me beat in the exceptional service department hands down. Gary Gaddist, a parks department worker in Manhattan, dug through trash to find the wedding ring of a park patron when he found her handwritten plea … (28 comments)
selling a minnesota home: 6 Essential Home Repairs for Spring in Minnesota
- 05/02/12 06:48 AM
Spring Repairs to Maintain Home Values in Minnesota A few weeks ago, annual property tax notices reach the mailboxes of many Anoka County and Washington County homeowners. Assessors processed this information based on last year's sales and assessments so while the real estate market is picking up, many home assessed values continued to decrease. The county assessor will often review a home from the exterior and make a value determination. So as spring has sprung, it's time for Minnesota homeowners start thinking it's time for the "honey-do" list of spring projects.
