Seller's Tip Of The Day!

Seller’s Tip Of Day: Get rid of any bad smells in your home! Since it is the winter season and your home has been closed up for awhile, it is a good idea to pay attention to pet or cigarette odors and get rid of them by placing candles or scented potpourri around the house. On the day you are expecting a potential buyer, it doesn’t hurt to make a loaf of home-made bread or cookies for great aroma!

Seller’s Tip Of The Day: Touch up the interior – put a fresh coat of paint in the most used areas of the home and wash the walls where paint is not appropriate. Wash all floors and bathroom tiles, shampoo dirty carpets, and most importantly, get rid of clutter. Take advantage of the cold winter weather and work on your home’s interior!

As tax time draws closer, you may find yourself with some extra cash to invest. Why not invest in real estate? Real estate is one of the few investments today that you don’t need the whole purchase price in order to make the purchase. Real estate is also one of the few investments in which you can increase the value of the property without spending a lot of money. Additionally, there are tax advantages to owning property and investing in property has a history of being a very reliable asset, one in which you can get an exceptional return. Talk to your real estate agent about different ways that you can invest, including a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange or a Roth IRA to make your purchase. Make 2008 a successful year!

Seller’s Tip Of The Day: Replace bathroom and kitchen fixtures that are worn or leaking and check light bulbs: People will notice a leaking faucet or discolored sink and by replacing them, you will give a new look to the room. Burned out bulbs or faulty wiring will leave prospects in the dark. Little problems detract from what’s right with your home.
