How To Make Buyers
Want Your Home
You
love your home but when it comes time to
sell, you have to share the love. In the
other words, you have to make your home
be seen in the eyes of potential buyers
as their home. That can be tricky.
But if you do some of the basic
things such as clearing clutter,
creating light, bright, and open space,
adding curb appeal, removing personal
items (family photos, trinkets), fresh
paint, and clean or new carpet -- you'll
be on your way to attracting serious
buyers.
Let's look at specific areas that
create widespread appeal inside the
|
|
|
|
home.
Here are some of the top
areas to improve: countertops,
flooring, built-in furniture,
and old-style attached fixtures
such as those big sheet mirrors

Debunking Credit Score Myths
In
March, ING Direct bank commissioned Harris
Interactive to conduct an online survey of 1,042
parents of children age 17 years and younger.
The survey discovered more than half, 56
percent, of those surveyed thought bouncing a
check or paying a fee for having non-sufficient
funds in their bank account would reduce their
credit scores.
Wrong.
Credit reports typically don't include
information about checking and debit accounts,
nor non-sufficient fund issues unless they
somehow impact an attached credit account.
Also one in five (21 percent) thought
checking their credit scores would hurt credit
scores. Nearly as many (18 percent) thought
accessing their credit report, would hurt their
credit scores.
Wrong and wrong.
Obtaining your credit report and credit
score has no bearing on your credit standing.

Choosing The Best Home
After
weeks of searching for your next home, you now
have it narrowed down to two great options. One
offers a shorter commute, but the other offers
more square footage for your growing family. How
can you make the best choice?
There are several strategies you can
employ in your decision making process. Above
all, be confident in your decision making
abilities. "The fear of making serious decisions
is a new kind of fear, called decidophobia,"
proclaimed by Walter Kaufmann at Princeton
University in 1973. Worry and procrastination do
nothing to aid the process, so buyers, be
confident that you will make a sound choice.
Pro/Con list: In this case, you are
deciding between two houses as your prospective
home. For each house, divide a sheet of paper
into two columns: pro and con. Be realistic
about what the positive and negative factors
would be for each purchase. Considerations could
include: price, location, schools, repairs,
square footage, floorplans, street noise,
neighborhood value, comparables, and gut
intuition.
Brainstorm scenarios: Chances are,
whatever house you decided upon will be your
residence for many years to

Transform Your
Home
With Home Staging
We
know that dressing for success is important when it
comes to establishing an image. Well, when it comes to
selling your home, it's important to dress it up too.
Staging homes has become increasingly more popular
because it works.
I think of it like setting the stage for a
theatrical production. The director wants everything on
the set to have a specific place. Using a critical eye,
the director makes sure that the set ambience
(furniture, decorations, and even open space) is going
to convey the exact feel she intends. That's what
staging can do for your potential buyers - if done
correctly.
