If you have it in your real estate goals for this year and are planning to sell in the Spring, there are a number of things to do to help YOUR home stand out. In this episode Lori talks about 4 important tips to remember as a seller to make your home top notch and ready for the spring competition. 1. Sunlight sells. 2. Be Curbside Pretty. 3. The Front Door Matters. 4. Make the Temperature Comfortable.
If the potential buyer does not feel safe, whether or not that is simply driving by your front yard and it is run down, with cobwebs and the mailbox is missing or the front door doesn’t lock OR unlock.. Chances are they WILL NOT be buying your home. Much less staying long enough to see the rest of it. Putting a little work in before listing your home WILL go a long way.

In today's conversation with Terry Tucker we are going to learn how his 10-year battle with cancer has provided him the opportunity to learn about his 4 Truths:
-
Control your mind or it will control you.
-
Embrace the pain and difficulty we all experience in life and use that pain to make you a stronger individual.
-
What you leave behind is what you weave in the hearts of other people.
-
As long as you don't quit, you can never be defeated.

Sell during the Holidays? Yes.
Buy during the Holidays? YES!
From beautiful lights to taxes, Lori knows it's a great season.
Here are 11 reasons why you should during the Holidays.
People who look for a home during the Holidays are more serious buyers!
Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the Holidays and less competition means more money for you!
Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home! less demand means less money for you!
Houses show better when decorated for the Holidays!
Buyers are more emotional during the holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price!
Buyers have more time to look for a home during the Holidays than they do during a working week!
Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons!
January is traditionally the month for employees to begin a new job. Since transferees cannot wait until Spring to buy, you must be on the market now to capture the market!
You can still be on the market, but you have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days during the Holidays!
You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year!
By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the Spring, when many more houses are on the market for less money! This will allow you to sell high and buy low!
