Grooming Your Yard

Does your yard have a freshly-painted fence, a smooth, green lawn and a well-trimmed hedge? A well-groomed yard is one of the most important indicators of proud ownership. Neighborhood pride can pay impressive dividends to homeowners.

Even if you don't plan to move right away, grooming and landscaping your yard could help your neighbors sell their home. Yard work and gardening can be relaxing and rewarding hobbies that can pay off in beautiful flowers--and higher property values. If everyone does their share to make the neighborhood look terrific, the demand for homes like yours will increase among prospective buyers, and nearby homes will also sell for top dollar. When you are ready to sell or refinance, the comparable homes in your neighborhood will support a higher price for your home.

Real Estate Tips

Buying Land and New Construction >Buying New Or Adding On

Homeowners should consider several questions before making the choice between adding on to an existing home or moving up in the market to a bigger house. How much money do you have available for remodeling your current house? How much additional space do you require? Is there room to expand on the ground level or will the foundation of your present home support a second floor? What will the local zoning and building ordinances permit? How much equity do you have in the property? Are there affordable properties for sale that would satisfy your housing needs?

Consider your neighborhood--it makes more sense to add on to a smaller house than to over-improve the largest home in the area. Your decision should ultimately be based on your individual needs, the extent of the work involved and which features will add the most value. According to industry experts, buyers are always excited by state-of-the art kitchens and bathrooms.

Let me give you a brief overview of what I believe makes a great agent. Most agents continue to do things that were being done years ago to sell real estate. If you are looking to buy or sell and you have internet access and would like to use it during your home buying or home selling process, please shoot us an email and lets chat for a few minutes. My goal is not to brag about my status in the company and how much I sell, its to make your next move as fun and painless as possible. Top agent status always seems to follow. I look forward to hearing from you.
