REAL ESTATE ALONG THE SHORES OF LAKE MICHIGAN - from the desk of Daniel Way




This year we have listened a lot about CHANGE from politicians and business people throughout the world. I am a big advocate of change because it needs to happen not only within ourselves but also for Real Estate to sell. Becoming complacent and always taking the attitude that it has always worked in the past, just doesn’t work anymore nor has it ever! Therefore I would like to share some thoughts on getting homes sold in in a slow and CHANGING market.

• The pricing of a home needs to be right from the start. In a slow Real Estate market a home has to be one of the BEST home values in their price range!



• Staging your home. Pay someone to help with this, it is worth every amount of money spent!



• Walk through your home from a buyers eyes. You need to separate your home from the other potential homes by having it spotless



• De-Clutter and de-personalize which means pack up personal photographs and family heirlooms.



• Rearrange bedroom closets and kitchen cabinets.



• If selling your home furnished remove and replace favorite items.



• Make minor repairs and even give some thought to light remodeling.



• Scrutinize and check curb appeal .
