When is it a good time to make a good first impression?

Always.  In this market many homeowners are anxious to sell their homes.  Like most people, they too want to get top dollar for their home. 

Buying a home is an emotional time for many buyers, especially 1st time homebuyers.  When they walk into a house, they want it to feel like a "home" - their home.  Therefore, it is very important for sellers to prepare their home to grab the attention/emotion of the buyers.  If done right, it can have a very positive result.

It starts with decluttering, rearranging and cleaning.  Every detail should be addressed.  You will be surprised at the difference this will make.  If you have a budget that can afford it, you should bring in a stager or decorator.  You may be able to get someone for a few hours to give you advise on colors or furniture arrangements.  This will be money well spent.  You will sell your house faster and probably get closer to asking price if it shows well.

Remember, you need to have a good first impression and then build from there.

Call me if you are interested in this type of marketing approach.  I have people I work with that can help us get you on the road to selling your home.

Servicing Medford, Jacksonville, Central Point, White City, Phoenix, Talent, Eagle Point and Sams Valley Oregon.

Investment Property - It's A Great Deal - Invest In Your Future

If you are thinking about investing in rental property... now is the time.  In addition to purchasing a home for your primary residence, one should consider purchasing a rental property too.  It is not as scary as it might seem. 

Once you have decided that this might be an option, you should contact a local realtor in your area to find out what kind of property would best suit your needs.  Some people prefer an apartment building (2+ units) and some prefer a single family residence.  After deciding on which type of property you feel most comfortable with (they each have an advantage), ask your realtor to refer you to a property management company that is reliable.  Set up an appointment and interview several to get a feel for what services they offer.

Single family homes are nice because you have only one tenant to deal with.  These tenants seem to have a sense of "pride of ownership" and may take better care of your property (although that is not always the case!).  Multifamily units (2 or more units) can have more of a turnover, but when you do have a tenant move, the loss of rent is a fraction of what it would be on a single family home.  Ask your property managerand Realtor what they have experienced in your area.

According to AXIOMetrics, an apartment market research firm in Dallas, said last year was one of the best periods for landlords over the past 15 years and may mark a turning point in the short term.  With supply in demand, rental properties are a good investment.

You can manage the property yourself, if you feel comfortable doing so... keep in mind that you must know the local rental laws and codes in your area.  If you prefer, you can hire a property management company and they will handle everything for you for a monthly fee.

I have had many, many years managing rental property for myself and others.  It can be a very rewarding experience, if handled right.  Other advantages include tax deductions and appreciation on the value of the property.

If you have any questions or think you would like to take the plunge... give me a call.
