Selling Tips
Making your House Clean is Critical – You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Remove Clutter and Personal Items – Too much furniture and clutter makes the house seem smaller. One of the key things to do when selling your house is to remove your personalize items like family photos, collections and personal keepsakes. Allow some time in the evening to pick up clutter and be ready for a Buyer to walk through the door at all times.
Enhance your Curb Appeal – Often a Buyer will make a decision if they like the house the moment they see a home from the street. It is essential that your house looks like the kind of home your Buyer would like to come home to everyday. Spruce up your home exterior with inexpensive beautiful shrubs and colorful flowers, make sure that your landscaping is well manicured and walkways are cleaned.
Repairs – If you take care of necessary and noticeable repairs it generally will increase your sales price. It increases your likelihood of a quick sale and saves you money in the end.

Buying Tips
- Determine what kind of home you are looking for (single story, two story, townhouse, condo)
- Determine the minimum number of bedrooms and bathrooms you will need
- Meet with a lender to determine your loan limits
- Determine if you have to sell in order to buy
- Determine your time frame
Mortgage Tips
- Know your credit score. Higher credit scores mean lower mortgage rates. Check your score once a year to make sure there are no surprises.
- Document your finances. Brokers will look at all your accounts with a fine-toothed comb, so be prepared to explain any unusual activity and have receipts for all big purchases.
- Make a large down payment. The more you can pay upfront, the lower your monthly payments will be.
