THE OBJECTIVE
Our mutual objective is to sell your home:
FOR THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE
IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME
WITH THE MOST FAVORABLE TERMS
Prior to any marketing strategies being implemented, it is critical to go through the process of discovery - determining the fair market value, understanding the barometer of current market conditions, and reviewing the variety of factors that will help us prepare your home for sale.
Pricing a home for sale is as much art as science, but there are a few truisms that never change.
Fair market value attracts buyers, overpricing never does. The first two weeks of marketing are crucial. The market never lies, but it can change its mind.
Fair market value is what a willing buyer and a willing seller agree by contract is a fair price for the home. Values can be impacted by a wide range of reasons, but the two biggest are location and condition. Generally, fair market value can be estimated by considering the comparables - other similar homes that have sold or are currently for sale in the same area
Sellers often view their homes as special, which tempts them to put a higher price on it, believing they can always come down later, but that's a serious mistake.
Overpricing prevents the very buyers who are eligible to buy the home from ever seeing it. Most buyers shop by price range and look for the best value in that range
INTELLIGENT PRICING & Timing
Your best chance of selling your home is in the first two weeks of marketing. Your home is fresh and exciting to buyers and to their agents.
With a sign in the yard, full description and photos in the local Multiple Listing Service, distribution across the Internet, open houses, broker's caravan, ads, and email blasts to your listing agent's buyers, your home will get the greatest flurry of attention and interest in the first two weeks.
If you don't get many showings or offers, you've probably overpriced your home, and it's not comparing well to the competition. Since you can't change the location, you'll have to either improve the home's condition or lower the price.
Consult with with me and ask for feedback. Perhaps you can do a little more to spruce up your home's curb appeal, or perhaps stage the interior to better advantage.
The market can always change its mind and give your home another chance, but by then you've lost precious time and perhaps allowed a stigma to cloud your home's value.
Intelligent pricing isn't about getting the most for your home - it's about getting your home sold quickly at fair market value.

STAGING YOUR Home
When you list your home for sale, it becomes a product rather than your personal retreat. You want potential homebuyers to be able to envision themselves living in the home, which can be difficult if your family's personality is still evident. Before going on market, your agent will recommend decluttering and depersonalizing, but you may also want to bring in a professional stager to help guide you through showing your home in its most marketable light.
When done correctly, staging can not only set the right emotional tone for buyers about the home, but can also help highlight the most attractive features of the home. Staging can potentially make you money, too: 77% of listing agents said a well-staged environment increases the dollar value buyers are willing to offer, according to the National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Staging. Staging can also shorten the length of time your home is on the market, with agents reporting that their staged homes were going under contract faster than those without.
A professional stager will typically begin with an in-home consultation, where they will walk through your home with you, review the property, and provide a report with their advice for the home. The report will include advice on de-cluttering, storing items, reorganizing furniture placement, and possibly changing out paint colors in different rooms. The stager may also give tips for improving curb appeal. The most common rooms that are staged are the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and dining room.
Depending on what your home needs, and whether you want to do the work yourself or hire it done, your stager could handle bringing in supplementary furniture and décor items, manage painting or other contractors coming to your home, and have a more hands on role in getting your home ready to go on the market. The cost of services provided will vary depending how much assistance your home will need.
CURB APPEAL A First Impression that Lasts
Most buyers form their first impression of your home before they even get out of the car. Curb appeal is the view from the curb that gives potential buyers the first chance to fall in love with your home.
The exterior of your home should be in pristine condition - clean, cleared of clutter, with no visible repairs needed. A broken step, overgrown bush, or abandoned toys in the yard can spoil both the home's appearance and the potential buyer's first impression.
Here's a simple cleanup and spruce up checklist to make sure your home leaves a stellar first impression:
Clear driveways and walkways of snow, weeds, and debris. Repair or replace cracked steps or pavers. Whenever possible, driveways should be clear of vehicles.
Keep your lawn mowed, edged, and watered. Prune dead branches and plants. Weed flower beds and replace leggy, thin landscaping with fresh plants and flowers.
Replace loose or damaged roof shingles, clean the gutters, and paint and caulk window trim and doors.
Make the front door area shine: consider repainting your front door and placing a new welcome mat. Polish the door hardware and make sure all front facing windows are clean.
Power wash siding, brick, windows, and porches.
Replace light fixtures -and if possible, pick new fixtures with the same mounting system to save time and hassle.
Install new house numbers that match the finish of your light fixtures.
Consider upgrading your mailbox; it's an inexpensive fix and the first thing that buyers will see when they pull up to your home.
Install flowerboxes or pots of blooming flowers for a pop of color.
Hang a seasonal wreath from your front door.

SHOWING & OPEN HOUSE Checklist
Once your home goes on the market, real estate agents may call to show your home anytime, even if you've listed preferred showing times in the instructions. Keeping your home in showtime condition can be challenging, especially if you have children and pets. Here are some pointers for presenting your home in the best light:
Eliminate clutter: The less cluttered your home, the better it shows. If you have a lot of knick-knacks, collections, or family mementos, consider renting a portable storage unit, which can be stored until it's time to deliver it to your new home.
Keep, donate, throw away: If you have time before you go on the market, sort unwanted belongings into one of these three baskets. You'll receive more in tax benefits for your donations than pennies on the dollar at a garage sale. It's faster, more efficient and you'll help more people.
Remove temptations: Take valuable jewelry and collectibles to a safety deposit box, a safe, or store them in a secure location. Also secure your prescription medicine and private financial documents.
Remove breakables: Figurines, china, crystal and other breakables should be packed and put away in the garage or storage.
Be hospitable: You want your home to look like a home. Open the blinds, turn on the lights, and make visitors feel welcomed
Have a family plan of action: When a showing happens at an inconvenient time, get the family engaged. Everyone can pitch in to tidy up in a hurry: pick up glasses, plates, clothing, and anything else left lying about.
Get in the habit: Wash dishes immediately after meals. Clean off countertops. Make beds in the morning. Keep pet toys and beds washed and smelling fresh.
Clean out the garage and attic: Buyers want to see what kind of storage there is.
The
Essential
Five-minute Clean-up for Showings
Everyone gets a basket and cleans up clutter. Check for hazards, like toys left on the floor. Make sure all toys, including bicycles, are put away.
Put pets in daycare, sleep cages or take them with you: In the listing instructions, there should be a warning if there is a big dog on premises. Buyers with allergies also may appreciate knowing in advance if you have pets.
Turn on lights: Open the drapes, turn on lights so buyers can really see.
Give the buyer privacy: The buyer cannot come to your home without being accompanied by an agent. They will be more comfortable touring the home without your presence.
Why do I Need a Why do I Need a
Real Estate Agent?
WHY DO YOU NEED A Real Estate Professional?
Given the proliferations of services that help home buyers and sellers complete their own transaction, you may have considered whether you should go it yourself instead of working with an agent. However, there is no substitute for an experienced professional, and taking on all the responsibility yourself could be costlier than an agent's commission in the long run
According to the National Association of Realtors' 2019 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, only 8% of home sales were accomplished as for sale by owner (FSBO), and of those, 77% knew their buyer personally. FSBO home sales had a median price of $200,000 in 2019, compared to the agent assisted home sale median price of $280,000.
Beyond the price advantage of using an agent, homes listed by real estate professionals get more exposure and their sellers get more support. Here are some other considerations:
They're trained and licensed professionals.
They have experience in your neighborhood and your market.
They have oversight from brokers and state licensing officials.
Their job is to advise you the best way to reach your goals.
They know how to present your home and deal with buyers.
They know how and where to market properties effectively.
They know how to overcome typical snags that occur in real estate transactions and closings.
They understand state-required disclosures and look out for your best interests.
They understand personal safety and security for your belongings during showings
They know the best resources to make transactions go more smoothly, from bankers to home-stagers to contractors.
They have access to the most accurate and comprehensive data - the MLS, the only data repository that has the most up-to-date listing and sales information.
They know how to negotiate.
Their job is making real estate transactions successful.
Their continuing education keeps them up-to-date on housing issues.
With a real estate professional in your corner, you'll have a partner by your side to advocate for you and advise you through the entire home sale process.
Moving MovingOn!
MOVING
Compare Movers
Moving to a new home can be an exciting but stressful journey. By finding the right movers and having a good, though flexible, moving plan, most of the common moving headaches can be easily avoided.
Start Planning
Finding the best mover for you at the right price involves a simple evaluation of your needs. Moving companies provide a wide range of services, from planning your move, storing your things, packing and unpacking, to decorating and organizing your belongings in your new home. You can choose which services you want and have them tailored to suit your budget.
When you compare price and service estimates from several companies, you will find that estimates are based on the weight of your household items, the distance they will be moved, and the amount of packing and other services you will require. Be sure to show the estimator every item that will be moved. Estimates should be done in person and include a clear explanation of rates and charges that will apply, the mover's liability for your belongings, pickup and delivery schedules, and claims protection.
If you are moving interstate, you should read and understand all of the information you will receive. In addition to brochures explaining their various services, moving companies should give you a copy of a consumer booklet titled "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" and information regarding the mover's participation in a Dispute Settlement Program. Distribution of the consumer booklet and the requirement that movers must offer shippers neutral arbitration as a means of settling disputes that may arise concerning loss or damage on household goods shipments are requirements of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
Be Prepared
Even in the most well-planned moves, something unexpected may happen. In those instances, insurance is crucial. Check with your homeowner's insurance provider about coverage for your belongings while moving. Your mover will provide either released value insurance (about $0.60 per pound of goods lost or damaged, according to NAVL.com) or full replacement value, which you must sign for on your bill of lading. If you are not sure how to estimate the value of your belongings for insurance purposes, your insurance carrier can help. Items of special value such as heirlooms, paintings, or collectibles can be insured under separate riders. In the event of damage to an item, file a claim immediately. Be sure to save the packing materials to show to the adjuster, should there be any problems.
PACKING UP & Moving On
Once the time has come to start packing and organizing, here are some tips to make the process smooth:
Start by packing the things you use most infrequently.
Pare down items that have accumulated over time by grouping them into 3 categories Keep, Donate, or Throw Away.
Create an inventory sheet of valuables and a list of which boxes they were packed in
Label your boxes according to the rooms where they'll be moved - bedroom #2, 1st floor bath, etc. Consider using different colored stickers/tape for each room.
Provide your movers with copies of the floorplan of your new home, so they can move more efficiently without having to stop and ask you where things go.
Try to keep boxes under 50 lbs. whenever possible, put heavier items in smaller boxes to reduce bulkiness, and place lighter items in larger boxes.
Dispose of items that can't be moved, like flammable liquids, cleaning fluids, etc. Prepare your mower by emptying the fuel and recycle your propane grill tanks.
Snap a photo of the back of electronic devices so you know which wires to attach when setting them up in your new home.
Pack an overnight bag with moving day essentials, including toiletries, clothes, medications, and charger cords.

REVIEWS
"Kudos on a job done to perfection! My husband and I relocated our residence from Florida to Charlottesville, Virginia in early November We only had a weekend to locate a property in the Charlottesville area We were so fortunate to obtain Amanda Spigone as our real estate agent A native of Charlottesville herself, she could not do enough for us. We trudged from morning to night for the entire 3 days we had allotted to look. She found us a spectacular home in which we now happily reside." -Sharon & Pat
We recently moved from NY to Virginia and as we did not have much time to get a house, we did most of our house showings virtually. Amanda was amazing though all of it and she was so patient with all of our needs and cold feet situations! We were able to close and move in before I started my new job!
"My husband and I decided to move our family to Charlottesville, VA (from Falls Church, VA) We are sitting in the living room of our dream home, as I write this review, because of our awesome Keller Williams Alliance agent After walking away from 2 homes, post-inspection, we were discouraged about finding the right home for our family. She kept searching and the only home she was insistent about us seeing is the one we ended up purchasing. Amanda knew what we wanted and needed, and she was extremely attentive and accommodating throughout the entire house-hunting process. We are so grateful for her guidance, patience and professionalism. Highly recommend!!!!!
Amanda is right person to go to if you’re looking for an agent/ house. She is very proactive when it comes to sending you listings or touring open houses. She waited for us when took a hiatus, always checked to ask if we were ready to start again, definitely recommend her. Thanks Amanda!
"Amanda is so friendly and great to work with. She came recommended to me and I am so happy that we were connected. We are new to the area, first-time homebuyers, and did not know where to begin looking. Amanda is a second-generation realtor who grew up in Charlottesville, so she knows the area extremely well. Additionally, I had no idea the style of home that I wanted and she was willing to be patient with me and frequently sent me homes that matched my criteria until we found the perfect home
She was always very easy to contact and quick to respond She also knows many other realtors and was able to contact them directly, which was helpful in such an aggressive sellers market
