My sweet clients from 3 years that I helped purchase this house, reached out to help them sell it, and I am so grateful they did. Return clients are the best, and such a complement!

They applied the recommendations I gave to help maximize the ROI on their home sale! We listed it the beginning of January➡️ Pending 5 days later after multiple offers➡️Closed this past Friday!

Listed: $284,900
SOLD: $298,000
------------------

🔥 Above list: $13,100 🔥

Love helping my clients get these type of results!

If you're looking to sell, and have no idea what the process looks like, or just have questions I would love to help 🙂

Every buyers needs, goals, and finances are different.
So that means 👇

A “Good Deal” to one buyer looks like finding the house that hits most their wants/needs, is in great shape and presented beautifully to the public. That buyer is willing to do what it takes, working with their realtor to come up with the best offer they possibly can, in order to beat out several other offers to get the HOME they have their heart set on.

To another buyer a “Good Deal” looks like knowing what’s best is to wait and look at homes that have been on the market 2-3+ weeks, that are overpriced, bad pictures (bad pictures are GREAT for buyers savings, not great for sellers) or homes that look so unappealing in pictures because the seller wasn’t advised on how to properly prep their house for the market. Thats when we come in and negotiate an offer that reflects the amount of activity on the house, potential repairs, and its appeal to the public… typically meaning an offer well under list price and/or concessions.

Whether you’re Selling or Buying it’s clear to see that the right strategy goes a long way, and will set you up for success whatever your goal is.

The Kitchen, also known as the heart of the home 💛

It’s important to have it looking its best when preparing your house to sell, and these 5 simple steps will have you well on your way. 👇

1. Remove all items from your refrigerator exterior
2. Remove all small appliances/ utensils/ paper towel from countertops.
3. Clean all appliances stove, dishwasher, fridge
4. Wash your window/s
5. Remove any small rugs/ runners.

By doing this you remove access clutter, and create a clean simple space that removes any distractions for buyers walking through and looking at pictures online.

Planning on selling your house this year and wondering how much to invest in it prior to selling?

The typical home prep budget is between 1-2% of the purchase price of the home.

(Living in Downriver Michigan and having City inspections, can be the one curveball to that budget)
But beside that 👇

Say you want to list your house for $300k:
The “typical” seller I work with is investing between $3000-$6000 to get it prepared prior to hitting the market.

And those same sellers that invest 1-2% typically see a 400-500% return on investment.

Scenario:

We’ve created a strategic home-prep plan, and you budget to spend $5000 getting your home prepped and repaired prior to hitting the market.

THE RETURN 👇

👉You end up attracting DOUBLE the amount of interested buyers…
👉Getting DOUBLE the traffic…
👉Bringing in MULTIPLE offers above list price…
👉 End up accepting an offer $25000 above list price.

= 500% ROI (Return On Investment)

It’s a number game! The more buyers your able to attract, the higher 📈 and better offers you’ll receive.
