How to add Value
Which items will add value to your home and help with resale when the time comes to sell? The answer is: “The ones that future buyers also want and are willing to pay for.”
So which updates will add the most value to your home?
1. Updates that increase usable space. An extra bathroom, larger and/or upgraded kitchen, master bedroom suite, more closet space, conversion of unused space to a home office.
2. Updates that will lighten and brighten your rooms. White or light color paint and floor coverings, light woods, skylights, larger windows, French doors.

Marketing Your Home
Let’s take a moment to talk about how I use both traditional and online strategies to promote your home to the largest group of qualified buyers.
1. I use professional photography and shoot a video walkthrough. According to a recent report, 79 percent of homebuyers said they looked online to find the home they ended up purchasing. This is why having high-quality digital photos is an important part of the home selling process.
2. I list your home on all the online portals. It’s important to get your home listed in as many places as possible, ensuring that a wide range of buyers see it. When we list your home on the local MLS it’s automatically syndicated to hundreds of websites; including Zillow, Realtor.com, HomeSnap, and Trulia.
3. I create a single property website. My team creates a website dedicated to your listing and your listing alone. We include an image gallery and video; either a 3D tour, drone video, or video walkthrough. Then, we use paid and organic advertising to push traffic back to the website.
4. I pay to promote your property on Facebook, Instagram, and Google. When you list with me, you get access to our marketing services which include actively searching for buyers for your property using paid digital marketing channels.
5. I write an appealing listing description. In addition to great photos, a well-written listing description that highlights the home features buyers love can give you a big boost in showings.
6. I help you price your home to motivate buyers. Pricing a home correctly is both an art and a science, and finding that perfect price, one that will both sell quickly and put enough money in your pocket, is something that we can give you guidance on.
7. I leverage promotional signage & open houses. Even with all the online tools at their disposal, today’s buyers still want to see your home in person. We provide yard signs, property flyers, and an open house strategy that attracts the largest group of qualified buyers.
Pricing your home
When you hire us to list your property we provide you a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) which is a compilation of recent sales from your area.
A Comparative Market Analysis takes into consideration the following factors.
• The properties must be within ½ of a mile from your home.
• Were listed within the last 6-9 months.
• Are roughly the same age as your property.
• ...and have square footage within 10 percent of yours. So, if your home is 1,500 square feet, you should look at homes between 1,350 and 1,650 square feet.
• Has similar features, pool, Fireplace, deck, upgrades.

Showing your Home
Real estate showings give potential buyers the opportunity to see and experience your home in person. According to a recent study, 79% of buyers said that taking a private tour was extremely or very important to their home-buying decision.
So, here are 10 tips for having a successful showing!
1. Clean thoroughly: Steam the carpets, mop or vacuum hard floors, clean windows, polish appliances and give the bathrooms a serious scrubbing.
2. Depersonalize and declutter: Room by room, remove little items that clutter up space and make rooms look smaller. Remove family photos and personalized decor, you want buyers to picture themselves living in the home, and they can’t do that with your family pictures on the wall.
3. Rearrange furniture as needed: Remove furniture to make rooms seem bigger, and swap pieces in and out of different rooms to give each space an obvious purpose. For example, add a desk and chair to a bonus room to show it as a home office, or move a twin bed into an empty bedroom.
4. Don’t forget the outside: Curb appeal helps your home make its first impression, and your to-do list will vary seasonally. Common tasks include planting flowers, pulling weeds, and mowing the lawn.
5. Keep storage spaces tidy: Every buyer is looking for a home with plenty of storage, which means they’re going to be opening your closets, pantry, and garage doors.
6. Highlight the best features: Identify the features that are most attractive about your home. If you have beautiful hardwood floors, remove the rug that’s covering them up. Love your stainless steel appliances? Don’t hide them behind refrigerator magnets.
7. Secure your belongings: Lock away any valuables to avoid theft of expensive items or private information.
8. Have a plan for pets and kids: Your showings are much more likely to go smoothly if family pets or young family members aren’t around.
9. Set the thermostat to a comfortable temperature: If tours will be happening when you’re at work and you usually turn the AC off, keep it on so that buyers will be comfortable during their tour. If you have a nice, cool house, buyers will be inclined to stay longer and enjoy the home.
10. Provide refreshments: Make your home feel welcoming with snacks, candy, and water. Don’t forget to leave a garbage can in plain sight so visitors can clean up after themselves.
