How You Can Help Your Neighbor

-

When someone in your neighbor is selling a home, it's important to know that 25% of the time the person who buys it is directly or indirectly connected to a person who is already living in your neighborhood.

 This is why I offer sellers a pre-marketing strategy consultation designed to prepare a home for the market before the "For Sale" sign goes up in the yard. I will even help craft a letter to the neighborhood sharing the story of their home, which includes an invitation to a private open house. I offer these tools before a sign goes up in the yard because I know most neighbors would love the opportunity to help pick their next neighbor.

 The next time you're talking with a friend or neighbor who mentions they're planning a move, call or text me immediately and I'll share my pre-marketing strategies to make sure they sell their home for top dollar...fast!

And lower  mortgage rates  are bringing more buyers back into the market. Lisa Sturtevant, Chief Economist at  Bright MLS , says: “A drop in the cost of borrowing will help fuel more homebuyer demand . . . Falling rates will also bring more sellers into the market.” The best part? You can  take advantage  of th...

Buying a Home...Ask for a CLUE Report

People purchasing a used car have most likely heard of CARFAX vehicle history reports to help them avoid buying a car with costly hidden problems.   Less likely are buyers to know that there is a way to discover some of the repair history of homes they are interested in. Lexis Nexis C.L.U.E. (Claims Loss Underwriting Exchange) is a claims history database that enables insurance companies to access consumer claims for the previous seven years when they are underwriting a risk or rating an insurance policy. An insurance underwriter could identify a previous claim for substantial damage to a property and try to find out whether the repairs were completed properly before assuming the risk as a new insurer.   Similarly, a buyer could benefit from knowledge of former claims that may affect the value of the property or possible, future repairs. A CLUE report can discover insurance claims on a home to investigate whether the repairs were done properly.   These report...
