Today we are going to talk about marketing your home. One of the biggest problems we see when it comes to marketing your home is that the home is not prepared well enough before someone comes to take professional photos for your online listing.

When you get your home ready for sale, you need to make sure everything is cleared away: the photos are off the fridge and the knickknacks are off the counters. When people see your photos online, they will be blown away and ready to visit your home.

For buyers, you want them to be able to imagine themselves living in your home, and that's tough to do when somebody else's stuff is in it. We just ask you to think about clearing away as much as you can and making your home ready to rock and roll.

If you have any questions for us, give us a call or send us an email. We are here to help!

Hey everyone, we just wanted to give you a quick update today on the first quarter of the year. So far, 2015 has gotten off to a great start, and we had the best first quarter we have had in 10 years.

Home prices have appreciated by about 4 or 5% each year over the last few years, making it a great time to be a buyer or a seller. With low inventory and low interest rates, we are seeing both buyers and sellers benefit in our neutral, healthy market.

Buyers are finding that now is a great time to pull the trigger due to historically low interest rates. Sellers know that more people are out looking for homes, and are entering the market in greater numbers. We have helped a lot of happy customers so far in 2015, and hope we can do the same for you.

If you have any questions for us, you are always welcome to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Today I just want to discuss with you some tips on how you can get more money for your home sale in a shorter period of time. That's the goal of all home sellers, right? The process is fairly simple. What you need to do is de-clutter, get personal items out, and get ready for a professional photographer.

Professional photography is of the utmost importance when selling your home. It makes the house look brand-new, big, wide, clean, and bright. Photography highlights the best parts of your home, and really impresses buyers for the first showing. It used to be that the first showing was always at the open house, but that's not the case today. The first showing now takes place online, and if you don't have professional photography, your home won't stand out at all to prospective buyers.

So, when you are getting ready to put your home on the market, simple things like taking pictures off the fridge, packing up personal items, and hiring a professional photographer are all great ideas. If you want to talk about getting your home sold faster and for more money, or if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call or send us a quick email. We look forward to hearing from you!
