LOCATION, CONDITION and PRICE...and they are all related.

1. LOCATION – Your home's location and the setting influence its value. A home inside a quiet subdivision sells for more than the identical home on a busy street. Remote areas typically sell for less than those in closed-in areas. Views, streams and trees usually enhance the value. You obviously have no control over location.

2. CONDITION – New homes enjoy a marketing edge over resale homes because they are shiny and clean. Builders enhance their appeal by offering model homes (clean, bright, decorated in current colors and amenities) for buyers to examine. Our goal is to help you to make your home as close to a model home as possible, being in the best possible condition.

3. PRICING – If IBM stock is trading between 48 and 51, it does no good to insist on 56. Likewise, your home must be priced within the appropriate range. You must actually “sell” your property twice: to a buyer and to an appraiser. The buyer is more subjective and compares amenities you offer to what other sellers in the same price range offer. The appraiser is more objective and compares age, size and cost-identifiable features in your home against other properties that have sold.
