The arrival of December means the year is winding down, yet it is also the beginning of a busy time for many of us who celebrate special holidays over the coming weeks.
For me, December is not only a time for celebration, but also a time of reflection and appreciation. I am particularly grateful to my clients for the support they have shown me in the past, and I look forward to helping you with all your future real estate needs.
In the meantime, I hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday season!

Putting The Fun Back Into Moving Day
|
|
|
Moving into a new home should be an exciting experience. But, unfortunately, that's not typically the case. In fact, moving day is traditionally fraught with such misery that there is even a reality TV show about it!
Your real estate agent can help. He or she can assist you in finding the right movers, provide you with relocation tips, recommend contractors and other home professionals, and advise you on what to expect on closing day.
Some agents disappear after the deal is done. Make sure your agent is available to help make the transition into your new home a pleasant one.

Better Bedrooms. Faster Sale!
|
|
|
Here’s a surprising statistic. In several surveys, upwards of 60% of people surveyed listed “bedrooms” as one of the reasons they decided to purchase a particular property. So don’t overlook these rooms when preparing your house for sale. You need to make sure they appear roomy and attractive to potential buyers.
The first step is to make sure every bedroom actually has a bed. Otherwise, you might inadvertently give the impression that your home has fewer bedrooms than it really does. To a potential buyer, a bedroom is often more valuable than the home office or storage room you may have converted it into.
You can’t change the number of bedrooms your home actually has, but you can make sure that each one shows well. Consider the layout of each room carefully. Is the bed and other furniture placed in a way that makes the room appear as spacious as possible? Can buyers easily walk around the bed? Are the curtains, bedding and other décor items clean and attractive?
Finally, buyers will understand that a kid’s room may be somewhat cluttered and may even have an eclectic style, but you need to make sure it’s as clean and tidy as possible.

Don’t Forget To Get What You Want
|
|
Shopping for a new home can be a dizzying experience. There are so many things to think about, it’s all too easy to lose focus on the most important consideration of all: getting the home you really want. Here are five questions to keep front-of-mind:
Is it located in the neighborhood I want? Where a property is located can have a dramatic impact on how much you enjoy it. Make sure the neighborhood has the characteristics you’re looking for.
Does it have the look I want? Looks aren’t everything, but they are important. A good looking property, inside and out, can make living in it that much more satisfying.
Does it have the features I want? Three bedrooms? A finished basement? A spacious backyard with wraparound deck? You may not find all the features you‘re looking for, but you should be able to come close.
Does it have issues I don’t want? Does the property require extensive repairs or renovations? Does it back onto a noisy street?
Can I purchase it for the price I want? Does the property fit your budget?
A good REALTOR® can help you find the home you want while making the entire process easier and less stressful.
