Local Knowledge:

Responsiveness:

Process Knowledge:

Negotiation Skills:

Ann is the epitome of professionalism but also warm and fun to work with. Thanks to Ann’s mastery, we had three escrows close on the same day (two sales and one purchase). Ann sold one of our homes before it even went on the market! Plus, she is so well respected among other brokers, lenders, etc. that she helped us secure a deal with a contingency offer on our dream house. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

DO’S & DON’TS O F S E L L I N G YO U R H O M E T H I S F A L L

DO

DON’T

DO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MARKET Fall brings with it a lower inventory of homes for sale. With less competition, you could sell faster and for more!

DON’T OVERPRICE YOUR HOUSE While you can earn more for your home with less inventory, fall buyers will move on to another home if yours is overpriced.

DO USE NATURE TO YOUR BENEFIT Appeal to a buyer’s senses by decorating with the season’s sights and smells that make a home cozy and comfortable.

DON’T LOSE CURB APPEAL First impressions are everything, especially during the fall. Clean up any loose debris such as leaves, broken branches, and overfilled gutters.

DO ALLOW FOR A FAST MOVE Fall can be a busy time; attract buyers by making your home move-in ready and creating a deadline that fits within their holiday timeline.

DON’T LET CLUTTER TAKE OVER It’s easy to build up clutter during cooler seasons.

Keep closets and storage areas organized and allow buyers to envision their belongings in the home.
