Today, I want to explain what a pre-list inspection is and whether you should get one before you put your home on the market!

A pre-list inspection is a full home inspection that is done before the home is put on the market. The inspector will go through the whole home and disclose any issues that are found. This gives the seller the ability to fix all the problems with the home before any potential buyers even see it. Instead of having an interested buyer discover a bunch of potential deal-breakers, a pre-list inspection will allow you to present the house at its fullest potential!

I'm a huge proponent of pre-list inspections! Nipping any problems in the bud is the best way to ensure a smooth and successful sale. A pre-list inspection will save you a lot of time, money, and headaches when listing your home!

If you have any questions about this process, please give me a call or shoot me an email. I'm always here to answer your questions and assist you in all things real estate!

The Perks of Professional Photography

In a crowded market, you need to take advantage of all the marketing strategies you can if you want to have a successful home sale. Today, we discuss the importance of professional photography when trying to get top dollar for your home!

Having high-quality photographs of your home is incredibly important. Statistically, 9 out of every 10 buyers begin their home search online. Often, by the time the buyer physically walks into a house, all they are doing is confirming the research they did about the house online. In other words, many buyers have already made up their mind based solely on information found online, and photographs play a crucial role in the decision-making process!

If you have questions about what we do to get homes sold for top dollar, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!

Looking for New Construction in Lane County?

If you've been looking for new construction in Lane County, you might be having a tough time because there really isn't a whole lot of it around. The primary reason for this is that there is very little land to build homes on.

When we do see land that can be built on, it's usually awkwardly shaped lots or sloping land. That makes it undesirable, and it's also hard to build on, so building your home on a sloping lot may cost the same as one on a level lot.

However, when you do find a new construction home, you should keep in mind that demand is high and that these homes are going for a bit of a premium. If you would like a list of potential new construction properties that are becoming available, I would be more than happy to send them to you.

The Best Time to Put Your Home on the Market

A lot of people believe that the springtime is the best time to put your home on the market. I would tend to disagree with this notion, because I believe anytime is a good time to sell your home.

Because of this, the importance of pricing your home properly cannot be understated. Timing is not as important compared to pricing, because whenever you price your home properly, you have a good chance to sell it for top dollar.

It's true that we sell a lot of homes in the spring and summer, but we also sell a lot of homes in late fall and early winter. There is always something happening in the real estate market. However, the only time when the market is truly slow is from Thanksgiving up until New Years. The holiday season is definitely not a time to list your home, but it would be a good time to prepare it for sale.

If you have any real estate needs, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I hope this information has been helpful!
