From staged to SOLD! The importance of home staging.

By Andrea Bedard, Fluent in Real Estate & German, M.A. ABR ASP CIPS

(Thompson Company, REALTORS® 240.593.2860)

One of my recent condo listings in Silver Spring, MD sold super fast, for 8K above list price and with no contingencies! This was not a case of, well in this market everything sells, but one that emphasizes how much properly preparing and staging your home for sale can pay off. This particular condo unit fronts busy Georgia Ave. The subdivision, Americana Finnmark, is also an older one with a beige and brown 70s color scheme that is not the most appealing. The condo fee for a 2-bedroom unit runs more than $900 a month but does include all utilities. That's quite a bit on top of a mortgage payment. In fact, one buyer who was planning on writing an offer on this unit had to pass after punching the numbers with their lender. What speaks for the community are the many amenities (outdoor poo... 08/09/2023

SOLD! 2 bedroom condo in Americana Finnmark, Silver Spring, MD.

By Andrea Bedard, Fluent in Real Estate & German, M.A. ABR ASP CIPS

(Thompson Company, REALTORS® 240.593.2860)

In 2007 I helped 2 bachelors purchase a 2-bedroom condo in Americana Finnmark in Silver Spring, MD. 16 years, weddings, beautiful babies, and a few years as landlords later, they were ready to let it go. A fresh coat of paint and new carpet were needed, and, of course, staging. I'll have to post before and after pictures of the latter to prove once again, what a difference the right staging makes! We hit the market in June and received multiple offers so quickly that I didn't even get the chance to blog about it. This lovely condo with a mid-century modern touch just SOLD to a cash buyer with no contingencies and for 8K above list price. Another Happy Closing Day is in the books!

How can you tell how experienced a REALTOR® truly is?

By Andrea Bedard, Fluent in Real Estate & German, M.A. ABR ASP CIPS

(Thompson Company, REALTORS® 240.593.2860)

Don't ask a REALTOR® how experienced they are, but how many times they've renewed their license. That's advice I stumbled upon during my morning news hour - and, I like it! It's a good point. When the market is hopping, it tends to be easier for (newer) agents to find/be assigned business. The definition of success in Real Estate, however, is not necessarily how many transactions someone closed this year, or last, but the ability to weather different market conditions, to survive and thrive for many years. Ask an agent how many times they've renewed their license, and you'll better understand their level of experience. In Maryland, we are required to satisfy 15 hours of continuing education per renewal period (that number should be much higher but that's a different topic) which is ever... 04/27/2023
