My services and experience allow you to focus on your move while I manage your home sale from our initial consultation to the closing deal, and beyond. I pride myself on repeat and referral business and hope you'll come to understand why.

The Ten Main Factors That Influence The Value Of Your Home:
1. Interest rates: The lower the interest rates, the more buyers can afford to pay.
2. Supply and demand: Are ’for sale’ signs springing up all around the neighborhood? If there are a number of homes similar to yours on the market, consider them your competition. What can you do to set your home apart and make it desirable for a majority of potential buyers? On the other hand, a small number for sale can result in competing bids that send prices up.
3. Economy: Is the economy improving or sliding? This will affect buyers’ confidence in their ability to manage debt.
4. Location: Are you in a desirable neighborhood, with key services such as schools, doctors, and shopping nearby? Are there factors that make your neighborhood less desirable, such as environmental issues or traffic problems?
5. Condition: Have you updated features and kept up with repairs? Is the house clean? Does your house make a good first impression? (This is called "curb appeal.") How much can you reasonably do to fix it up for sale?
6. Timing: Do you need to sell quickly or can you choose your time?
7. Size: Will your home appeal to a growing family or to those who are downsizing?
8. Amenities: Does it include features that are popular, such as low-maintenance landscaping or granite counter tops?
9. Terms: How flexible are you with respect to the sale? What’s excluded? If you are downsizing and have substantial equity, have you considered offering financing? Carrying financing can make your home very appealing and help you sell for the maximum price.10. Attitude: How committed are you to selling now?

Getting the Highest Price for Your Home
Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. I have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.
- Title insurance fees depend on the sales price of the home.
- Broker's commission is a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 5% to 7%.
- Local property transfer tax, county transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax are the charges that you'll pay for the privilege of selling your home. Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
- FHA fees and costs are all fees are now negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.
- Home inspections fees are in some circumstances paid for by the seller and include pest, radon and other inspections.
- Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.
