You are the best! I will always appreciate your easy going, supportive style during the process of marketing and selling the Ford Street house. I wish you the best and hope to see you ... around town sometime in the near future.

Suggestions for Showing Your Home
- Tidy up the grounds - porches - garage; keep the lawn mowed, trimmed and edged
- Your front door gives a vital first impression -- clear, repair, paint, or even replace as needed
- Wash the windows and window treatments
- Consider cleaning the carpets
- If any paint is needed inside or out, get it done! Typically money spent on cosmetics yields a 3X return on higher sales prices, not to mention shortening the marketing time
- Keep all steps clear of any hazards
- Have all light sockets filled with high wattage bulbs -- rooms always feel larger with good light
- Wash dishes, make beds, put away clothes, straighten up in general
- Bathrooms and kitchens sell homes -- make these rooms sparkle
- De-clutter your home as much as possible -- too much furniture makes a room feel crowded
- Pack up the closets -- let buyers see how much closet space they’ll be buying
- Now is the time to clean the garage -- how about a garage sale?
- Keep pets out of the way. If the prospects dislike your pet, they will be annoyed. If the prospects like your pet, they will be distracted
- It is best not to be present when the agent shows your home -- the potential buyer will feel like an intruder and will hurry through the house
- Leave it up to the agent to show your home -- it is his or her business to present your home in light of the prospective buyer’s particular needs
- For many reasons it is important not to discuss any business details directly with the potential buyer or his/her agent
- Properties have to be shown to be sold -- price your home so both will happen
