Don't Forget to Give your Home Curb Appeal!

When selling your home, Curb Appeal gives the buyer that First Impression of your Home.
It can affect the way he views and reviews the Interior of your Home.
A Great First Impressions can also mean a higher sales price.
I attended the retirement party of a fellow Realtor several years ago and he always gauged how the interior of a home would look by how the exterior of the home looked,                                              specifically how the garage door looked. 
I'm serious. Since then, I have tested his theory many times and I concluded that in most cases....He was Right!

How Bad Do You Need to Sell?

Question: I own a home with an appraised value of $368,000 and little left on the mortgage. Is now the time to sell or hold? An agent wants to list the home for $300,000.

Answer: Why do you want to sell? Is there some place you would like to move?

Do you have a surplus of cash? If not, and if the property is worth $368,000, why would you want to sell for $300,000? That's better than a 20 percent discount and you haven't even bargained with a buyer.

You need to speak with other brokers in your local community to determine a market value for the property -- have them each prepare a listing presentation for you. Then determine the pros and cons of a sale -- for you.
