      It's that time of year, the time when an increasing number of "for sale" signs appear in yards. Have you ever wondered why some homes sell quickly, while others sit for months? Why do the homes that sell quickly typically sell for close to the asking price, while the ones that sit for months undergo price reductions? There are 3 main factors that influence the ability of a house to sell quickly and for the most money. These factors are what a buyer considers when deciding which property to buy.           The first factor that influences the ability of a house to sell is the location. Home buyers usually have a specific area in mind where they would like to live. The location may be based on school district, proximity to work or proximity to family and friends, and availability of ...

Home Office for the holidays. Helen Keller said “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” That’s what Christmas is about, love.  This holiday season, starting before Thanksgiving, has been difficult. My Dad passed away 10/30/2015. We have been expecting it for a while but, you can not prepare to lose a treasure in your life and my Dad is a treasure to those who knew him. It’s an odd feeling, somewhat hollow to have both your parents gone. I feel like an orphan with a hole in my heart. Here’s a photo of them in front of our Christmas tree in the 60’s.  Anyway, my family, Chris, Mike, Cole and Claire, thought I did not want to decorate the house for Christmas because of losing my Dad. I didn’t honestly, however, I ...

Can I call you back? I’m at my daughters softball game.Priorities. I don’t usually take calls when I’m at an important event. Important being relative to the person defining it. My “important,”  in this case Claire’s softball games. I do take calls from priority people during these special events if at all possible.  Determining who’s priority and who’s not? That’s easy. Family, friends, clients, and colleagues are my priorities, always. Unknown numbers, out of area calls and my lead calls - yes, I said it outloud, my lead calls are not a priority. Why? That’s easy. If we haven’t met, I’d prefer to be in a setting where I can focus on you. I may need to ask you questions to determine the next steps. I may need to listen to your sales pitch because it’s a product I’m actually interested ...

When you are preparing to sell, you need to see your home through the buyers eyes. One way you can do that is to do a home inspection in advance. There are pros and cons to doing a home inspection in advance. You’ll have to make the choice that works best for you.   Home inspections reveal hidden flaws that often the homeowner didn’t even know existed. You get busy with the business of life and things happen.   Maybe you installed a new flower bed next to the house and did not realize that, although your intentions were good, the grading is now tilted toward the house causing drainage problems. Overtime the water can work its way into the house.   Maybe the attic stairs deteriorated over time and with the weight of a grown adult can break causing injury to the homeowner, home inspector ...
