I specialize in working with home sellers. These 10 Commandments are here to help our process go as smoothly as it possibly can! In some cases get you more for your home! Each sale has characteristics of it's own and these help. However, there is no guarantee that your transaction will be smooth sailing without a hiccup. With that said lets look at the 10 items you need to follow.







Commandment number 1.







THOU SHALL DEEP CLEAN thy home! Clean, clean and when you think you have finished clean some more! Don't forget to deodorize and change the air filters! They don't make "wet dog" air fresheners for a reason! This step may even happen prior to me coming to view your home to list. I walk the property with you making notes and will have suggestions of what may be beneficial to do prior to listing. My number 1 suggestion is always clean. This includes not only making sure that counter tops, toilets, sinks and tubs for example are clean.It also includes decluttering. Put away everything that you possibly can. In some instances it is beneficial to rent a storage unit and place boxed belongings there. People want to see the garage too!







Take down anything personal such as family photos, anything religious (there is nothing wrong with it but keep in mind your buyers may not be of your faith and you want them to picture themselves living there) or anything that is decorative but not broadly appealing. Think of decor like this, everyone likes ice cream however not everyone will like pumpkin ice cream. The same goes for paint color, you may consider repainting if your colors are specific to your taste.







Commandment number 2.







You will be filling out a property condition sheet prior to listing your home. THOU SHALL DISCLOSE EVERYTHING! This is going to help things sail smooth even after the close. Remember your neighbors probably know a lot! If you had foundation work done in 1963 but didn't disclose, the buyers will find out from the neighbors soon enough! Work done that is still under warranty like foundation work, is handy to provide those documents to buyers. Was ever an insurance claim on the home? Even if everything was put back together and there are no problems currently, disclose. If your neighbors told you about anything or the previous owners disclosed something, you know about it and it must be conveyed to the buyers.







Commandment number 3.







YAY, you've listed your home with ME at this point and now we're well on the road to getting your home SOLD! Yes there's going to be a sign in your yard. People may knock on your door and want to see it. THOU SHALL NOT LET THEM IN! You're using me as your REALTOR for a reason and I have placed it in the MLS so that it may be shown to people by either myself or other REALTORs. You do not need to show your home and should not for your own safety.







Commandment number 4.







THOU SHALL PREPARE THE HOME FOR THE SHOWING! Open those curtains or blinds to let in natural light. Turn on lights throughout the home. Play soft background music (think elevator music). Light a few candles if it can be done safely or turn on some wax melters or plugin air fresheners







Commandment number 5.







THOU SHALL NOT TURN DOWN SHOWINGS! You want to sell, buyers want to buy. You want them to see your home and this may be the only opportunity they have to see it because they may be relocating from out of town or they are traveling over an hour each way to view homes in that area.







Commandment number 6.







THOU SHALL KEEP YOUR HOME IN SHOWING CONDITION! We can request that you have a 2 hour notice prior to a showing on any given day. Last minute showings can and will happen.

As of December 1st, 2021 current mortgage interest rates are at about 2.75%. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association interest rates will be going up to about 4% by the end of 2022. I go over some numbers and show you what buying power will look like now versus in December 2022 if the rates do reach the projected 4%.







If you are on the fence about whether or not you are wanting to sell your current home and make a move or stop renting and buying a home of your own this should give you a reason and a good idea of why you should contact me today and not wait.
