Snow, Snow, Snow

We have a lot of snow right now!  If you have your home on the market, it is important to keep the drive and sidewalks clear.  First impressions are important and customers do not like to get all wet trying to get inside your home.  If you do not keep the sidewalks clear then you will also end up with ice, which is an even bigger problem when showing your home.

Why check the refrigerator?

No detail is too small for a home buyer. And while you’re making sure the kitchen counters are decluttered and sparkling clean, you might want to take a closer look in the refrigerator too, particularly if it’s staying with the house. The buyer likely will be. And what will they see when they open the doors?

Over-stuffed, sticky shelves? Expired veggies that are growing a friend? Vile smells?

The contents of a seller’s fridge may say a lot about a home owner. It may even have the potential to leave a potential buyer with a negative impression.

Why use summer pictures when selling your home?

Will my offer be accepted over any other offers because I expect to pay cash?

Cash is looked at very favorably but not always.  At the closing table all sales are cash to the seller because of some type of financing.
