Many people don’t know the first step in purchasing a new home. Well, your first step should be to contact a mortgage loan officer to find out what you qualify for. This is important for several reasons: it will tell you how much you can afford to buy so that you don’t waste your time looking at homes outside of your price range, and it will provide you with the upper hand in writing an offer. Most home sellers require you to provide a pre-qualification letter with any and all offers. A mortgage loan officer will be able to do both of these things for you.

If you are interested in speaking with a loan officer, please contact Sheri Rimel with Residential Community Mortgage. She is a fabulous mortgage consultant that I recommend to everyone. I even use Sheri for all of my mortgage needs! She has several loan products available to her clients and will do her best to match you with the best product for your needs.

35 Tips for a quick sale #8

Staying with the kitchen remodel theme, it is absolutely essential that your kitchen have nice counter tops. Home buyers will want counters that they can prepare food on, so if yours look a bit dingy or beat up you’ll want to have them replaced. Granite is the hottest trend in counter materials these days. Granite can be on the pricey side so see if you can track down a distributor with remnant pieces. Granite or solid surface counters such as Corian, Quartz, or Limestone are high on my list of recommended changes to make to your outdated kitchen look updated and new!

Whether you are a brave “for sale by owner” or a traditional listing, I’m happy to help you with this exciting new tool. With the help of radio technology, this marketing technique has proven to help sell homes in record time! Talking House is cutting edge and draws an unbelievable amount of attention to your home when it is on the market. Imagine the marketing power your home would have if you or your REALTOR were standing on the curb, 24 hours a day, describing your homes best features to all the potential buyers who drive by. That is precisely the concept of Talking House.

There are so few REALTORS across the country using this marketing devise that your home is bound to stand out from all the other listings in your neighborhood. By nature, humans are curious and when they see something other than the average real estate sign in the yard, they are going to be more apt to express interest. That means more showings, which ultimately means a faster sale!

Are you wondering how it works? Well, I’ll tell you. Inside your home will sit an AM Radio transmitter no larger than your DVD player. This transmitter will be programmed to the AM Radio station indicated on the sign in your front yard. When buyers stop in front of your house and tune their radio to that station they will hear a personalized message describing all of the wonderful qualities of your home, how to schedule a showing, and much more. It’s a very new approach to home marketing and has already aided in selling well over 1 million homes nation wide.

So, if you are trying to sell your home by owner or would like to list your home with me traditionally, give me a call! For a modest monthly fee, “for sale by owner” homeowners can rent the Talking House device from me. If you are interested or want more information, please contact me and I will help you get your home sold as fast as possible!
