Every real estate agent can tell you what they think you should list your home for, but the “how” of making that determination is much more important.

A number of factors contribute to what your home should be listed at, so feel free to ask what went into deciding your home’s listing price.

It's important to know what your investment is worth. If you're interested in discussing more, please reach out! 📲

You don’t need a major renovation to make a strong first impression. A few simple updates can go a long way.

🧼 Weekend 1: Clean & Refresh
Pressure wash surfaces, clean windows (leave window screens off), refresh the front door, and tackle small exterior repairs.

🌿 Weekend 2: Landscape & Style
Trim landscaping, add fresh mulch, seasonal flowers, add simple entryway accents.

💡 Don’t Forget Lighting: Clean or update outdoor fixtures to brighten your home’s appearance.

Buyers notice how a home feels before they focus on features. Clean, maintained, and inviting always wins.

🌴🩱 Before your bags are packed, properly secure your home!

Whether you travel for work or vacation, here are a few ways to prep so you can truly relax while you're away and come back to a peaceful home!

🔐 Lock all doors and windows

🚨 Set your alarm security system & contact alarm company letting them know you're be away from the home

⛈ Look ahead at upcoming weather and see if you need to adjust thermostat accordingly. Rain in the forecast? Make sure gutters and drains are clear and sprinklers are adjusted too.

📺 Unplug TV's, computers, lamps, appliances, and whatever else that may be affected in case of a power surge.

🖼 Speaking of unplugging, fight the urge to share vacay pics on social media in real time

💡 Make it look like someone is home. Have your outdoor lights on and a random light inside.

💍 Secure your valuables in a safe deposit box or leave with a trusted friend or family member.

📬 Pause all mail and newspaper deliveries until you return. If any packages arrive while you're gone, ask a neighbor to grab them until you're back!

💦 If you’re away for a very long time consider turning your water main & turning your water heater way down. Be sure to open faucets and drain out the residual water. Ask a local plumber for pro tips .

Have a great time and rest assured you will return to a home glad to have you back!
