We appreciate your support throughout 2017 and hope to see you again next year.
Happy holidays, merry Christmas, and happy Hanukkah to all of our friends, family, and clients. We appreciate your continued support throughout 2017. As we sleigh on through to 2018, we look forward to seeing you next year. As always, if you have any real estate needs, feel free to reach out to us.
I recently got an email from a past client who wants to sell their home. However, they asked, “Should I sell my home during the holidays?”
I get this question a lot this time of year. Believe it or not, now is a great time to put your home on the market for several reasons:
1. You have less competition. Many people think they should wait until after the first of the year. The reality is that since more sellers wait until after the first of the year to put their homes on the market, there will be more competition for you. As a seller, it’s more advantageous for you to sell your home before the beginning of the new year, as you will likely get more money.
Buyers are more serious about purchasing a home.
2. Buyers are more serious this time of year. Holiday homebuyers have to be in their new home by a certain date. You won’t have any looky-loos or showings that don’t amount to an offer. The buyers that go through your property are serious and want to buy a home.
3. Homes and neighborhoods show better during the holiday season. Thanks to all of the holiday decorations in your home and around the neighborhood, your home will look amazing, giving you an opportunity to get more money.
If you have any other questions about selling your home during the holidays, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

If you want to be successful in getting your home sold, there are a few strategies you can use. Today, I’ve got five key tips and tricks. 1. Do not overprice your home. This is the most critical piece of advice I’ve got. Many sellers think they should price high to begin with, with the intention of lowering the listing if need be. However, this is a big mistake. Buyers today are more educated than ever before. If you hike up the price, buyers aren’t going to be interested because they know what values should look like in our market. 2. Have good curb appeal. A lot of sellers think they need to entirely re-landscape. But what I actually mean by having good curb appeal is to have a fresh and attractive-looking yard. You don’t have to go all out. All it takes is a mowed lawn, trimmed bushes, and possibly planting some flowers for color. A buyer should have a great first impression when they pull up to your home. 3. Fresh paint and carpet. These two home improvement items are the best you can make in terms of getting the most return on your investment. Just remember that paint and carpet should be in clean, neutral colors to attract buyers. 4. Declutter and stage your home. Anything that personalizes the home should be removed. Staging your home for sale is a lot different than living in it.
An experienced Realtor should be able to help you sell for the most money in the least amount of time.
5. Hire an experienced Realtor. The right professional will have the tools and resources to negotiate on your behalf and expose your property as much as possible. An experienced Realtor should be able to help you sell for the most money in the least amount of time.

We’re experiencing very low inventory, which means buyers are greatly outnumbering sellers for the time being. How do sellers benefit in a market like this? Here are three ways:
1. More money. You’ll get more money now than you would have even 30 days ago.
2. Fewer repairs to get the home market-ready. Buyer’s can’t be picky in a market like this. They’ll live with some imperfections in your home if it's priced correctly.
3. Shorter transaction with fewer hassles.
This is a unique window of opportunity for you to get more for the sale of your home. If you’re considering selling your home or you’ve thought about doing so in the near future, give us a call or send us an email today. We can help put a strategy together for you that will ensure the success of your sale. We look forward to hearing from you.

Today, I’ve got five tips that will increase the likelihood of your home selling.
Make sure the house is freshly painted. If the color of your home is fresh and neutral, it will appeal to the mass buyer pool. When you use neutral colors in terms of paint, carpet, and flooring, it makes the home feel bigger, more open, and ultimately more appealing.
Your carpet should be cleaned or replaced, which will make it more attractive to potential buyers. Like paint, carpet is a cost-effective way of improving your home’s appearance.
Both carpet and paint are cost-effective ways of improving the way your home shows.
Curb appeal is very important as well. Take care to make your landscaping look clean and manicured. A strong first impression can impact a buyer’s desire to make an offer on your home.
Haveyour home professionally cleaned. Having your home professionally cleaned both inside and out, if necessary, will be greatly helpful. Your property should be kept clean for every showing so that it looks its best each and every time.
Hire an agent to represent you. The right agent will position you to the market, market your property on your behalf, and maximize your exposure so that you can get the most money in the shortest amount of time.
I do recommend that you call us and schedule a home-improvement walk-through—we’ll walk through the property and make suggestions about what you should or should not do in order to increase your chances of selling your home.

Cash offers can be tempting—but you should be careful. There are a few red flags you should be mindful of in real estate.
To put it one way: be careful who you open your door to.
You need to be wary of what kind of services you can truly trust when it comes to your real estate needs.
For example, the other day I got an email asking my team and I if we’d be interested in providing comps for some cash-for-your-house buyers and companies.
These kind of buyers and companies are struggling to come up with accurate comparables.
This raised some concerns for my team and I. We’ve also encountered clients trying to make use of this kind of arrangement, but what ends up happening is that they charge the seller fees.
While these cash offers might seem convenient, they actually earn you significantly less.
In fact, the average in Arizona is 15% to 30% lower than a given property’s actual market value. So while these cash offers might seem convenient, they actually earn you significantly less.
But, if you are wanting or needing this kind of cash offer I can arrange that for you. My team and I offer this same kind of service, but will net you more money.
If you have any other questions or would like more information feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
