MEET BEKAH

When you meet Bekah you immediately feel comfortable and confident with her thoughtfulness and giving spirit. Prior to Real Estate Bekah enjoyed a career in Healthcare where she learned the value of first impressions. Bekah’s always working with a mindset is focused on helping, fixing, and directing others to their best possible outcome. This translates in a meaningful way for her clients in real estate as she keeps their goals at the forefront and communicates ensuring a smooth and successful process. When Bekah isn’t doing great work for her clients she’s spending time with her family, Exploring the Carolinas always looking for new adventures. They love to give back through community outreach programs, serving the homeless and nursing homes. Keeping her kids involved in helping others is her driver for serving the homeless and giving time at nursing homes.

"CLIENT TESTIMONIAL"

I’M NOT ONE FOR MANY WORDS, BUT I HAD TO JUMP ON JUST TO SAY THAT BEKAH IS THE BEST REALTOR I’VE WORKED WITH. HER RESPONSIVENESS, ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND QUALITY OF WORK PRODUCED IS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE OTHERS I’VE WORKED WITH. SHE MAKES THE PROCESS SEAMLESS AND GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT SHE’S SUPPOSED TO DO SHE’S THE GOLD STANDARD FOR SURE!

EASING THE TRANSITION

Helping Your Parents Right Size and Declutter

Start small: Begin by tackling one room or area at a time, rather than trying to declutter the entire house all at once. This will make the process feel less overwhelming. Set clear goals: Work with your parent to set specific goals for the process.

Involve them in the process: Encourage your parent to be an active participant. Ask for their input and opinions on what items they would like to keep, and which they would like to get rid of.

Make it fun: Introduce a theme or game to make the process more enjoyable. For example, you can have a “ memory box” for sentimental items, or a “donation box” for items that can be given away to charity.

Hire professional help: A senior move manager can provide valuable guidance and support throughout the downsizing and decluttering process. They can handle all aspects of the move, including sorting, packing, and coordinating with movers. They also provide emotional support and help alleviate feelings of anxiety and loss.

HOW TO INCREASE VALUE

Declutter

Remove all unnecessary personal belongings. Clear off all counter tops. Create more visual space by removing items. Having a CMA helps you know what other similar homes nearby are selling for. This avoids leaving money on the table.

Know your CMA

Yard Maintenance

Repairs

Getting ahead of the game with any repairs will help bring in offers and limit negotiating room for the buyers agent. The fewer items on an inspection report leaves less to be negotiated.

PAST CL TESTIMON

The SL HomeGroup was incredible to work with, so personable and responsive. We felt at ease every step of the way, all while making it the easiest process we have ever been through in selling a home!

I’m not one for many words, but I had to jump on just to say that that SL Home Group is the BEST. The responsiveness, attention to detail and quality of work produced is head and shoulders above others I’ve worked with. They make the process seamless and go above and beyond. The gold standard for sure!

The SL Home Group is full of AMAZING people! The selling of my house was smooth and FAST! (Less than 24 hrs ??) They were thorough and prompt with everything! They made it easy for us as first time home sellers! They were always a phone call/text away with the answers to any questions or concerns we may have had!
