Foreclosures Cause More Issues Than You Think

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to talk about a subject in our economy that has become way to common. Foreclosures. I'm sure you all know what they are and how detrimental they can be to your credit but, one thing that doesn't get talked about is what it can do to a person emotionally and psychologically. Unfortunately, I have met many amazingly good people who are now facing hard times financially and in risk of losing their home. This issue goes much deeper than financial standing. It often rips families apart or causes health issues due to stress and depression. This subject is especially concerning to me because the only reason I decided to start a career in real estate was to make a positive difference in people's lives. I am talking straight from my heart when I tell you that it pains me to meet people who are suffering and in danger of losing their home on top of it. Most of them did not see it coming and did not intend on missing payments or losing their job, or having an emergency medical situation. The following link is an article that briefly tells you about what a foreclosure can do to a person. Foreclosures Take Heavy Toll on Hearts and Mind

So if you or someone you know is struggling to make the house payment or foresees that happening in the near future, please contact me. I will offer a no cost, private consultation to help you decide what to do next. Often times I can help you save your home. Other times I can help you get out of your home with the least amount of damage to both you financially and emotionally. Please allow me to help. Nothing would give me great pleasure.

Thank you for visiting,

Inexpensive ways to WOW Buyers

I am often asked by my seller clients, "What can I do to make sure my homes shows well?" What a fantastic question and I love it when they ask me before I bring it up. This just goes to show you that it is becoming more apparent to sellers that not only do you need aggressive marketing & the right price but, you have to also make sure that your home shows better than your competition.

Well, there are many things you can do as a seller to get your home ready to show. Most things depend on the current condition your home is in. However, there are two things that EVERYONE needs to do when selling their home:

1. DE-CLUTTER 2. DE-PERSONALIZE.

As a rule of thumb there should be no more than 1-2 objects on each flat surface of your home. If you don't absolutely need it or can story it out of sight, do it! Also, when buyers walk through a home they are trying to picture their belongings and raising their family in that home. Pictures of you and your family detract from this and often distract the buyers as they walk through your home because they are busy trying to figure out if they know you or not.

Are you thinking about selling your home? Call me first 402.310.0409. I'll send you a free report of "10 Inexpensive Ways to Wow Buyers". Which in turn will sell your home quicker & for the most amount of money possible.
