Today, I just wanted to let you know that we will have a special event between Christmas and New Year's.

Not only will this event be a lot of fun, but we're also working with a great charity, the Make-A-Wish foundation. We won't tell you too much about the details now, but here's a hint: Star Wars!

Mark your calendars and be on the lookout for any updates. We look forward to seeing you!

3 Reasons Why You Should Sell During the Holidays

Welcome back to my video blog. With the holiday season upon us, sellers always ask me whether they should sell now or wait until the spring. That’s a great question and the answer is don’t wait!

Yes there are fewer buyers on the market, however, those who are looking for a home are serious. They are ‘have-to-buy’ buyers. In the winter there are also fewer homes on the market which means less competition for you.

Let’s not forget how great your home looks during the holidays with its lights and decorations. That plays a big part in the emotion of the buyer; often they get caught up in that holiday mood.

Don’t worry about landscaping; let’s face it; most lawns don’t look that fantastic in our Syracuse winters. Just have the bushes trimmed and the lawn hedged.

Don’t wait until the spring. Sell now when there is less competition and serious buyers in the market. If you have any questions, please give me a call at 315.449.6697 Thanks for watching!

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:

1. Landscaping
2. Kitchen
3. Personal effects
4. 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!
