Selling your home shouldn't be a stressful ordeal. Making the smart move of choosing a REALTOR® is your first step to ensuring that your investment in your home pays off. My services and experience allow you to focus on your move while I manage your home sale from our initial consultation to the closing deal, and beyond. I pride myself on repeat business and hope you'll come to understand why.

Getting the Highest Price for Your Home

Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop to take a look, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home.

• Trim bushes and shrubs
• Add mulch to flower beds, plant flowers to brighten the area
• Power wash driveways, patios, decks and walkways
• Paint exterior and trim if needed

Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. Here are just a few ideas to present your home in the most effective manner. I can help with more when I review your home prior to placing on the market.

• Refresh paint in house with neutral colors
• Pack and store collectables, children’s toys and excess clutter

Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
