Are you thinking about listing your home? If so, it’s crucial to plan ahead and get prepared. As a real estate expert, I have helped numerous clients successfully sell their homes by utilizing my extensive knowledge of the local market and effective marketing strategies. Here are a few things you can do to make sure your home is a standout listing:

1. Ensure your home is clean, organized, and decluttered to make a great 1st impression on potential buyers. Just remember, the 1st impression is the lasting impression!

2. Make necessary repairs and upgrades to increase the value of your home.

3. Use professional photos and virtual tours to showcase the layout and flow of your home. If you have a special view, drone photos of the property will help you sell.

4. Be flexible for showings - make sure your home is easily accessible, even if it’s short notice. Buyers are often on a tight timeline, and making your home available for showings can help speed up the selling process.

5. Curb appeal is crucial! A new coat of paint, fresh cut grass, and a few outside flowers go a long way. The potential buyer wants to know that the home has been well cared for.

6. If there are any pet odors, take the time to properly clean the floors, either yourself or professionally.

7. Lastly, be sure to work with an experienced listing agent in your area, like myself, to help navigate the selling process and market your home to potential buyers. Give me a call at 386-569-4998 to see what your home’s worth today!

About Dana Davis, Your Realtor®

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, I can’t help but to sit back and reflect on what a beautiful journey it’s been. I think we can all agree that motherhood comes with its fair share of ups and downs, but, that’s the beauty in it. Beauty in all of the sleepless nights, kissing away tears, birthday parties, graduations, weddings and memories throughout the years.

I absolutely love real estate! But, being a mother and grandmother has been the most rewarding experience I have ever had. My whole heart and soul pours into my two

daughters and my eight grandbabies. They’re my whole life and my happy place. We all need that!

As a third generation Realtor, I couldn’t be more proud of my oldest daughter Amanda for following in my footsteps. She transitioned out of the healthcare field and into real estate a few years ago. She was a Nurse Practitioner. I’d like to leave you with a quote from Salma Bucker, “Life doesn’t come with a manual. It comes with a mother.” Happy Mother’s Day!

COMMUNITY CORNER: Thanking our Everyday Heroes

Nurses and teachers are essential to the heart of our community. Caring for those who are ill or injured and educating our future generations takes a special person with a passion and dedication to others. THANK YOU to all of the nurses and teachers who deserve recognition 365 days a year.

National Nurses Week: May 6-12

In 1982, President Reagan signed a proclamation for “National Recognition Day for Nurses” to be celebrated May 6. The ANA Board of Directors declared the first National Nurses Week starting on May 6 of each year and ending on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. In 1998, National Student Nurses Day was first recognized and is celebrated on the Wednesday that falls during Nurses Week.
