Exactly The Person We Needed
"Job changes had required us to move over 75 miles from our home on the lake. Unfortunately, we weren't able to afford two homes, and we tried off and on for 6 years to sell our property without luck. We were really struggling, and I prayed we would find a realtor who would not only understand our situation, but would work hard to help us find a buyer. When I met Susan, I knew she was the exactly the person we needed. Honestly, I don't know what we would have done without her. She and Benny were wonderful. We will always be thankful for everything they did for us."

Cosmetic Improvements >Sunshine Sells
When your home is being shown, you want prospective buyers to feel good as soon as they step into the living room. It pays to give special attention to maximizing the amount of light in your home because dark homes are depressing to many people. When prospective buyers give real estate agents feedback on the homes that we show, they often cite a light, airy feeling as a major attraction.
Begin your preparation for showing your home by cleaning the windows and curtains thoroughly. Open the drapes and blinds to let the sunshine in. Even on a bright day it helps to turn on some lights in the main rooms of the house. If you are using shades or heavy drapes to eliminate a less-than-perfect view, you may want to consider replacing them with translucent curtains in a light color. Sunshine definitely helps to sell homes!
