If you market and price the home correctly, you may have multiple buyer offers coming through within days of a property going on the market. And, if you're looking to upgrade, it's more affordable than ever with low mortgage rates. Visit my website to see current stats for your zip code. Most of my clients find this really...

Minor Repairs Can Yield Top Dollar
Imagine you are a buyer looking at your home. What do you think obviously needs repair? Money spent on repairs can make a difference in the final sale price for an important reason.

Ask yourself: What would my neighbors notice about my house? You might even want to take a few pictures of your home's exterior and send them to a friend or relative. They might be able to see things that you wouldn't. ...
Your future is secure
and the kids are grown,
