Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife, and Hide Yo Stuff!

When selling your house, you must de-clutter and remove anything that distracts the potential buyer. Buyers must be able to picture themselves living in the house. If all they notice is the ‘stuff’ or distracting objects, they are not getting the full experience and it will be difficult to get an offer.

Say NO to Clip Art!

Leave a comment

For most families, their house is their biggest investment. Don’t rely on such antique and cheesy ways to market that investment. Clip art and borders are not necessary to sell a house, in fact they distract from the product you are trying to put out there.

Oh Yeah, We Tight…

I was reading Rob Hahn’s blog post over the weekend about Agent to Agent Relationships. It got me thinking about those relationships and the importance as a seller to know your agents reputation among the realtor community. Use of technology and marketing are important, but so is their relationship with other agents.

Seller Tip: Put the Lid Down

Leave a comment

I am still surprised at how many homes I show and the lid is up. It’s hard to explain the feeling when you are showing a home and this mishap has occurred. It’s very uncomfortable, like leaving the dresser drawer open. It’s an easy thing for a seller to do to make sure their house looks the best, and yet it’s often forgotten.

Oh, If they were all like ‘Million Dollar Listing’

I was stuck at home for couple of days this past week and had the opportunity to catch up on some ‘quality’ television. I watched ‘Million Dollar Listing’ back to back to back and I was amazed at how every offer they got was cash and how the price was the only thing ever negotiated. None of the agents featured ever went over the process after the contract was ratified! If you have questions or comments leave a message below or you can e-mail me. Anna-Marie@ERA-King.com

Baby, It’s cold outside!

We have hit our first cold snap of the year! If you are a seller selling a vacant house, turn on the heat! Don’t miss an opportunity with a potential buyer because it’s too cold for them to stay and see the house.
