Preparing a comparative market analysis requires access to complete sales data and knowledge of local and national markets, which is why it should be completed by a licensed real estate agent.

The first thing to know is you’re not alone:
71% of buyers are also, simultaneously, sellers. The key to success on both ends of the deal is having a realtor to guide you through:⁣
-Prepping & pricing your current home⁣
-Market assessment for your current and prospective home⁣
-Offers and contingencies clauses⁣
-Financing options and lender referrals
-Securing short-term housing if needed⁣

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, the best thing to do is to talk to a pro!

Most people are aware that permits are required for new construction, but did you know they are also required for roofs, siding, fences, decks, pools, and remodeling? Building permits are required for most home improvements or additions so that the building inspectors may inspect the job for safety, zoning, compliance, and sound construction practice. Before beginning any project, it is important to check with the Building and Inspections Division to see if a permit is or is not required.

Summer is officially here which means it is time to make sure you are up to date on your seasonal maintenance. The heat and outside activities can take a toll on your home value. Use this list to keep your home in tip-top shape!

Let’s conserve together! If your address ends in an odd number, water your lawn on odd days. If you have an even address, water on even days. Don’t worry about watering your lawn every day - during drought times it is ok to let your grass go dormant, it can survive on very little.

If your planning to sell, it’s essential to give buyers the opportunity to imagine their own families moving in. Clearing out your personal items and removing any clutter during your spring clean can help greatly with this process. Ready to sell? Contact me today!
