What Makes a Successful Home Sale- Haverhill Massachusetts

I just closed on 3 Greenhill Farm Road in Haverhill.  The sellers of this condominium unit approached me back in early March to discuss the sale of their condominium.  One of the things that made this sale successful was that they contacted me months before they were ready to list their home for sale. At the first meeting we talked about a pricing strategy and what we needed to do to prepare their home for the market place.  We spent hours over the next couple of months discussing the … Continue reading...

How to Have a Successful Home Sale

Any home can sell in any market, if you line up what I call the 3P's of Home Selling. The 3P's consist of: Preparation-  What are you prepared to do to your home to make it stand out from the crowd? Pricing-  The most critical piece and must be looked at very carefully without pricing your home properly there is no amount of pricing or presenting that will sell your home. Presentation- What the agent does to put the most positive spin on your home and expose it to the most amount of home … Continue reading...

This is an issue I run into once in awhile with home sellers, no matter how much I push, home sellers will occasionally leave junk behind, are still in the middle of moving or have … Continue reading...

Can your photography make or break you?

Real Estate Photography- marketing your home
