Fall into a New Home

11.16.16 by

Fall into a New Home

Fall

As we say goodbye to the season of summer, traditionally a time of sun and fun, we also welcome the autumn months; traditionally a time when people choose to make major decisions and changes in their lives.

During these pivotal months, you may be considering a major life move, most literally. In other words, you might be seriously contemplating the purchase of a new home.

Before you make the big move this fall, ask yourself a few important questions first:

1. Are you more restless or resolved? Some people simply grow tired of homes that are still very livable and in great condition. In this case, you might opt to remodel or in some way enhance your homestead, as opposed to selling the house outright and investing in a new residence. If on the other hand you are resolved to making a major change in your life and scene, then it may be time to buy a new home.

2. Are you still living under the influence of summer fever? When some people escape for a long, revitalizing summer vacation, they may become enamored of their vacation spot; so much so that they suddenly develop a burning desire to move to Paradise. What they need to realize, though, is that Paradise may seem just a bit less heavenly if you have to work and pay bills there—like you do back home, and in the context of your everyday life. Depending on how much it costs to reside at your dream locale, as well as the educational and occupational opportunities available there, it might not be worth it to move to Paradise. If on the other hand you truly feel that your vacation spot might also make an ideal new home, then you may wish to check out the real estate market in that area.

3. Are you ready for a major move? If you do choose to relocate to a new home this fall, you will have to find a new job or educational institution, new recreational and cultural opportunities, a new doctor and dentist, and new friends. You will have to endure the stresses of moving and establish new roots in your fresh purchased home place. Ah, but perhaps you are ready for a change and up for the challenge. If so, then fall into fall; and, if you choose, into the home of your dreams.

If you’re ready, give me a call.

Social Media Sells

Social Media Sells

Social Media

These days you can sell just about anything through social networking. Whether it’s a car, a book, an antique doll, a CD or DVD collection, the art of social networking has the miraculous ability to connect buyers and sellers with the merchandise you have up for offer. Have something to sell, in just about any service or product category? Then by all means Tweet it, Facebook it, Instagram it to your heart’s (and, or so we hope, your wallet’s) consent.

Yet if your current product up for offer happens to be a house, you may want to think twice about just throwing your residential listing up on your full range of social media accounts. Instead of trying to personally handle the sale of your home via social media, you instead may wish to ask your local real estate professional to do your Tweeting, Facebooking, Instagramming, etc., for you. Why, you ask? Well here are some of the reasons:

1. Professional Realtors know all of the various methods of selling a home. Furthermore, they know just how to use each method and means to the very best effect; up to and including social media networks. They know exactly how to word a Tweet, a Facebook posting, or other sort of message in a way that grabs the attention of potential sellers; listing the specifics and using the exact marketing lingo sure to secure optimum sales.

2. Professional real estate agents know how to present a home for sale without violating the guidelines and terms of service established through various social media networks. They make it their business to know the limitations and regulations associated with each site, and can post listings in a way that does not cast them into the realm of spam.

3. Professional real estate agents set up social media accounts for the specific purpose of selling homes.
