Best sellers agent for 27707?

Marie Scheuring answered:
GP,
What clients say about a seller's agent is possibly the best way to learn about your realtor. Please read the testimonials on my website; one is from a seller on University Drive. My goal is for all my buyers and sellers to be clients for life. A very high percentage of my listings have closed. - Thu Nov 6 2008, 06:47

How can I make sure I get a good Realtor to sell my home?

Marie Scheuring answered:
Hello Dave,
I am sorry to hear about this problem. One of the things I do when I list a property is schedule a weekly update with the seller by email, phone or mail. I also request a face to face meeting monthly if the listing isn't sold to discuss strategy.

Small, frequent price reductions are not usually very effective. You must reduce the price significantly in order to attract a new buyer pool.

Before you hire a realtor, you could ask for references or at least read their testimonials. - Wed Oct 8 2008, 14:40

Dear Libra,
Selling your home is a very personal decision and you should be sure to select an agent that understands your needs and is responsive and qualifiied. Choose an agent who can provide expert advice on preparing your home and staging your home. Be sure to price your home competitively from the beginning. Your goal should be to have your home shine among the competition by being the best value in the price range. I hope you will consider hiring me, I know I can help you. Please visit my website and read my testimonials. - Wed Sep 10 2008, 12:28

Should we have a backsplash?

Marie Scheuring answered:
Yes, to the backsplash...it is like jewelry for the kitchen. If your home is seven years old, it is probably time for a fresh coat of paint. On both projects be sure to choose neutral colors that will appeal to most people; taupe, beige, tan, white, etc. Avoid blues, yellows and strong colors. If you want to add your own personality with a strong color, use it sparingly as an accent (door or shutters) so that it won't be too difficult to change later should you decide to sell your home. - Tue Aug 26 2008, 10:18

Looking to Move in June 2009 - What Do I Do Now & What Areas?

Marie Scheuring answered:
It is never to soon to start searching online to get familiar with prices in the area. I recommend looking at MacKenzie Square, Arbor Point, Patterson Glen, and Hope Valley. A good buyers agent will advise you on resale history and show you recent sales to help you make an informed purchase. If you are looking for a place to save your custom searches, please check out my website. - Tue Jul 22 2008, 15:43
