DISCOVERIES
10 Places to Spend a Long Weekend in the U.S.

After a long stretch of work, a long weekend is welcome news. Whether you want to use that time to relax and rejuvenate or to take in as much as you can, here are 10 awesome long weekend trips that will satisfy all of your needs.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

With its rich history, cultural institutions, and penchant for fun, Philadelphia is a great destination for those seeking a mini getaway. History fans will love the Liberty Bell Center, Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were both drafted and signed), and the Ben Franklin House. Be advised that lines can be long for all of these attractions. Reading Terminal Market, with over 80 vendors and located under a train station, is one of America’s largest public markets selling foods, cheeses, baked goods, and homemade items.
If you’re traveling with children, the Please Touch Museum combines learning with play and promises a good time for all visitors. Adults-only trip? Determine once and for all who has the best cheesesteak by stopping by both Geno’s and Pat’s. Of course, a trip to Philly wouldn’t be complete without stopping by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and posing with the Rocky Statue. He’s at the base of the steps and to the right now, but climb the stairs anyway to get a fantastic view of the city.

Empty Nester: How to Sell the Place you Call Home!

Are you an “Empty Nester” who needs a home
for the future? Is it time to downsize or to move
into another home more suitable for your glorious
retirement years?
Like thousands of homesellers, you may be discovering
that after years of non-stop child traffic
in and out of your doors, toys on the floor, music
floating throughout, suddenly you can hear a
pin drop over the quiet hum of the refrigerator.
Your rooms are filled with pictures and memories
of this wonderful time in your life, but there
are many empty rooms gathering dust now that
your children have moved on. The freer years
ahead are exciting ones to look forward to, and
it may be time for you to move as well.

How to sell a House that didn't Sell

4. Marketing

…Marketing Your Home To Sell! Some
Questions You Should Be Asking!

One of the first steps in your marketing plan involves
finding an agent who will best represent
you. When interviewing agents, test and compare
their knowledge and ask each to demonstrate
how they will market your home to buyers.
Compare, too, how much money each spends
on advertising the homes s/he lists, in what media
(newspaper, magazine, etc.) and the effectiveness
of one medium over the other. Remember,
it’s not just how much they spend, but how
they spend it.
Say goodbye to any real estate agents using
old, traditional methods to sell your home because
they don’t work in today’s market!
To be competitive in today’s marketplace, agents
who use new and innovative, nontraditional marketing
approaches are the ones who are getting
more homes sold fast and for top dollar.
HOT TIP! Get the Best Results!
To get the best results when selling your
home, you need to team up with your agent
to develop a powerful marketing plan that
exposes your property to the widest possible
pool of prospective buyers.

And Remember...
Not all agents are the same. The relationship
between you and your agent can make the
difference between selling your home fast, or
not selling it all.

How to Sell a House That Didn't Sell?

3. Condition Of Your Home - Showcase Quality!

Is your house someone else’s idea of a dream
home? When buyers enter are they inspired? Do
they think, “I love this house!” Remember, the decision
to buy a home is based on emotion, not logic.
A house in move-in condition invites a sale. You
need to consider:
• fixing all the little squeaks and cracks
• keeping it clean for all showings
• making it uncluttered
• brightening it up
• what your home shows like from the street
concentrating on outside curb appeal.
Plus - Consider taking care of major items, such
having your home painted. Offering an allowance
to your prospective buyers, so they can have
painting completed is not the same as having
done it for them. Now, as they’re trying to imagine
what that new paint job will look like, they may also
be discounting the price even further because of
the less-than- perfect look of those walls.

Remember…
A house that presents well, sells for the best
price because it outshines the competition.
