Preparing Your Home for Listing

Welcome back to my video blog! Thanks for joining me today!

There are four critical things to consider when listing your home:

Landscaping
Kitchen
Personal effects
Closets

Today, I wanted to talk about personal effects. HGTV has done a huge disservice to tier 3 and tier 4 homes. What do I mean?

When you watch HGTV they showcase homes that are in the New York, Los Angeles and Miami markets. When you list your home in those top tier markets, your home is expected to look like a model home: no pictures and no personal items at all.

In our Syracuse market, that isn’t the case. When a buyer walks through your home here they want to feel a good and loving vibe. So go ahead and keep some of your fun photos, maybe some from your family vacation!

You don’t need to completely sterilize your home. If you need anything about real estate from contractors, to plumbers or you are just ready to sell your house, please give me a call!

Thanks for watching!

Why Hire Me?

Chip Hodgkins was born into business - his family has been doing business in central New York since the late 1800's. Because his roots run deep here, Chip is passionate about helping the community develop and grow through real estate. He works tirelessly to improve his knowledge of the industry so he can service his clients at the highest possible level. When he's not coming up with new marketing strategies, he's traveling across the country attending conferences and events so he can learn from the best and contribute his own ideas to national real estate business systems.

Outside of real estate, Chip spends most of his time with his wonderful wife and three kids. Although it's difficult in the busy real estate industry, he finds ways to dedicate his weekend to being with his family. Skiing, tennis, golf, and boating are some of the activities Chip and his family enjoy together. He loves working with The Hodgkins Homes Team of Hunt Real Estate because it's a great group of professional people who don't mind thinking outside the box. They espouse the enthusiasm and perseverance necessary for a successful real estate team, which makes Chip feel right at home.

What our happy Central New York clients have to say

"Chip Hodgkins did an outstanding job listing my house. He was very responsive from the start. He gave me a clear understanding of the process and had some very helpful tips. He got my house on the market fast. I received multiple offers within days. Chip was masterful in negotiating with the potential buyers and I ended up with a solid offer that was three thousand dollars more than the asking price. I could not be happier with Chip Hodgkins and will definitely be using him again in the future."

-----

"Chip is a top notch realtor in our area. A house sale / purchase is one of the biggest financial transaction one makes in life and I have found Chip to be very capable of this kind of responsibility. He is tremendously knowledgeable, professional, and creative. He sold a house for me in the Village of Manlius in the spring, I have since recommended Chip's services to a professional colleague whose house he sold earlier this summer. Chip is currently in the process of selling another house with acreage for us in the Cazenovia area; an endeavor that he is taking on with his typical dedication and zeal. He keeps up with his sizable workload with an impressive team of associates. I would not hesitate to recommend Chip for the sale of your house / property."
