Summer Staging Tips for selling your Fredericksburg Home!

Summer Staging Tips:

Outdoor areas.  Clean your deck, porch, patio and repaint or make repairs if necessary. Make necessary repairs to your home's exterior, including your siding and windows.

Landscaping. Make sure your lawn and flower beds aren't languishing in the summer heat. Add pops of color to your entryway with potted plants.

Add value with lighting. Frame your walkways and driveways with lights for a stylish touch.

Air conditioning. House hunters will want to escape the heat so make sure your home is nice and cool.

Provide refreshments. During the days of summer, set out a cool pitcher of lemonade for buyers. Anything you can do to make them linger a little longer can only help you sell.

If you have a pool:

Pool. A pool is a huge selling point during the sweltering days of summer. Keep yours clean and debris-free.

Fall Selling tips for your Fredericksburg home!

Fall Selling Tips

Keep your lawn in tip top shape. Just because summer is over doesn't mean you should abandon your lawn. Patch up any brown spots in the grass, rake frequently to keep leaves from being on the grass.

Fall garden. As your summer plants start to fade, replace them with vibrant mums or other colorful plants. Tasteful fall decorations can also add curb appeal.

Indoor fall decorations. Get a few fall-colored decorations. Fresh decor will make your space seem current and well-maintained.

Repair outside lights. As the days get shorter, you may end up showing your home in the dark. Make sure your outdoor lights are clean and working. 

Keep exterior photos of your home up-to-date. If you listed your homein the summer, update your online photos with brand new fall shots.

Benefits for a First-Time Home Buyer (Fredericksburg, Stafford, Spotsylvania & Surrounding Areas)

You should buy a home. That's what you've been hearing from friends and family, right?

  Almost 80% of all home searches begin on the Internet. With just a few clicks of the mouse, home buyers can search through hundreds of online listings, view virtual tours, and sort through dozens of photographs and aerial shots of neighborhoods and homes. You've probably defined your goals and have a pretty good idea of the type of home and neighborhood you want. By the time you reach your real estate agent's office, you are halfway to home ownership.

    Bring a digital camera and begin each series of photos with a close-up of the house number to identify where each group of home photos start and end.

Take copious notes of unusual features, colors and design elements.

Pay attention to the home's surroundings. What is next door? Do 2-story homes tower over your single story?

Do you like the location? Is it near a park or a power plant?

Immediately after leaving, rate each home on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.

Causes of Home Buying Stress (Fredericksburg, Stafford, Spotsylvania & Surrounding Areas)

Buying a home is one of the most exciting things you can do. Of course, you may think I would say that because I'm a real estate agent, but it's true.

Home buying is an emotional experience and personal to each buyer. The chances of things going wrong are endless:

Sellers can be unreasonable and argumentative

A home inspection may reveal defects

Lenders may reject your loan

You could receive a low appraisal

Your agent might not communicate well with you

The title company could find a cloud on title or unknown lien

Your moving company could go bankrupt

Just relax and ask your agent to go over the important aspects with you. When you're comfortable, then sign it. Here is a small list of what an offer might contain:

Purchase price

Earnest money deposit

Down payment

Loan amount and perhaps terms of your loan

A closing date

Five Essential Tips For Selling Your Home The Right Way! (Spotsylvania, Stafford, Fredericksburg)

First time home sellers may be anxious and worried about selling their home. A first time seller usually wants their home to sell quickly, with the least amount of hassle and for the best possible deal. Before you even put your home on the market, you should plan ahead and find a Realtor to handle the sale of your home and prepare your home for potential buyers.

Ask yourself the question that if you were looking for a house, would you want to buy the home you occupy right now; or what changes could you make to your house so that it has more appeal to buyers. Here are some excellent tips for first time sellers.

Check your prices

Once your home goes up for sale you will have your largest amount of showings within the first few weeks. Home buyers find houses that go up for sale immediately by using the internet and finding multiple online listings by Realtors; this means that as soon as the house is listed prospective buyers will want to see it soon as possible.

To get the most viewings and a higher chance of selling your home quickly you need to price the house competitively based on the size and location. Furthermore, pay attention to search parameters that buyers use when viewing online sites. A change of $5,000 in price for example reducing from $155,000 to $150,000 could put your home in the range of twice as many potential homeowners.

Pictures and more pictures

The majority of home buyers use the internet to start their house hunting; this means you need to make your listing attractive and compelling. Listings with more than five pictures are twice as likely to get viewed by prospective buyers than a home with just a few pictures so the more pictures you have of your home listed the better.

Curb appeal

The first thing a potential buyer will see when they pull up to your home is the yard and house. Fresh paint and finished landscaping make a home look new and hassle free.

Outdoor entertainment areas such as decks or patios allow buyers to visualize having their own backyard barbecues with family and friends.

Allow access as much as possible

No one has time to sit home every day and wait for their house to be viewed, but if you want your home to sell faster, you need to have as many viewings as possible. This means that you can’t have a very restrictive time frame or require appointments too far in advance, many buyers don’t want to wait more than 24 to 48 hours before viewing a home they are interested in.

Stage your home

You can prepare a home staging yourself or hire professional. Buyers like homes that look large and uncluttered. Do this by taking out any personal items or clutter that you do not need and putting them in storage. Clutter may make a house look small and closed in. Same goes with furniture, buyers prefer homes that have walking room with basic set ups rather then walking around and in between furniture.
