Beyond Cleaning and Decluttering: What Improvement Expenses Make the Most Sense?

Decluttering open spaces, emptying cabinets and drawers and removing knick-knacks might seem like obvious – and free – ways to improve a home’s presentability. Unfortunately, however, not all sellers or agents are willing to do much more than decluttering and cleaning.

Think of the listing as a reflection on yourself. If you didn’t comb your hair, shine your shoes, dress 4

neatly and drive a clean car, people would think you don’t care about yourself. They may wonder, “If he doesn’t care about how he presents himself, how is he going to present my house?” Likewise, not prepare a house for its most beautiful presentation might cast doubt on how the overall marketing will go. And, while not all changes will be immediately noticeable, chances are that what isn’t changed will be noticed.

Ashley Aguilera, REALTOR®, broker and owner of The Aguilera Team in California’s Murrieta Valley and Temecula, says that after every consultation, her team formulates a game-plan. “We want to set their property apart from everything else on the market, but also fall within the comfort zone of the seller’s lifestyle,” she says. Changes may run the gamut from minor repairs and moving furniture for better flow, to adding accent pieces to harmonize the home’s look or create a “wow” factor before professional photography.

Many agents recommend conducting a professional inspection prior to listing; some will even hire the inspector at their own expense. Of course, any necessary repairs found during inspection and not repaired before listing must be formally disclosed. But wouldn’t it be nice to have no surprises during the buyer’s formal inspection?

In general, some improvements are required, others are low-cost and others pay for themselves

with lower time on the market, competing offers or higher sale price.

Landscaping & Exterior First impressions begin outside. Be sure to mow and edge the lawn regularly; prune back overgrown trees and hedges; hire a professional to repair uneven pavement (especially if it’s a hazard); remove or replace dying annuals; and clean or repair porches or railings. Are there dry or dead patches of lawn? An inexpensive repair to the irrigation system might be the solution.

While painting an entire house can be extreme, a wise investment is to paint trim, porches, steps or railings that may look tired or have too many colors; choosing a single, neutral color for trim can create a bright, cohesive look. Finally, check the roof, gutters and windows, looking for spots to caulk, shingles to replace, or debris to remove.

Paint is extremely important if the home has faded or dirty walls, holes or chips on paint or plaster. If an entire paint job is not feasible, at least consider cleaning repairing the obvious and adding a fresh coat of semi-gloss to baseboards, moldings, windowsills, doors, banisters balustrades and built-ins. Don’t overlook the ceilings!

A long-ago leak from a second-floor bathroom may have been completely repaired and moisture abated, but a patched-up ceiling is a red-flag.

Kitchens and baths

Walls, carpets, ceilings and trim Next, it’s time for agent and seller to open up to one another about the interior. Janelle Holte, who leads Seller’s Edge Home Team in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, loves walking into a home knowing that her team will be the driving force behind selling it.

“I like seeing how owners took care of it and raised their family in it,” she says. “But I won’t sugar-coat anything, so I tell them not to shoot the messenger!” She gives it to them straight, explaining what needs to be done to stage it to present well from a buyer’s perspective.

Those changes often include repainting at least the primarily living areas and replacing carpet, especially worn carpet or carpet that has faded or stained beyond what professional carpet cleaning could remedy. Sometimes, all that’s needed is professional carpet stretching to remove any buckling prior to cleaning.

Most agents agree that the easiest costs to recoup in home improvements prior to selling are those spent in bathroom and kitchen updates. Complete remodels are unwise; you can’t anticipate the style preferences of their buyer. But refinishing, touching-ug up or painting cabinets can create a great impact, while also forcing the seller to remove unwanted or overstocked items from cabinets and drawers. Don’t forget the cabinet pulls – shiny, new nobs look nice.

Lee Ritchie of Ritchie Realty Group in Columbus, Ohio, gives a reminder to discuss any and all issues up front. “People need to be able rely on the professional who’s presenting, pricing and marketing their home,” she says. An honest and diligent agent will be an open book about the current market conditions, the quality of comparable listings and the potential return-on-investment for improvements.

Some agents, like Debra Dobbs of @properties in Chicago, even roll up their sleeves to help with decluttering and repairs. While not at all required or expected, doing so sure lets sellers see the investment their agent is willing to make for them.

MARNITA SWICKARD Buyers and sellers alike have found Marnita’s knowledge of the lake unparalleled. Her 3-4 hour lake tour has been the driving force for her buyer’s understanding of the lake and each lake area.

“The days are never the same! You’re on call on weekends, holidays, and vacations. You’re literally working 24/7. Some people think being a Realtor® is a job, hobby, or part-time gig, but it’s more than that, even more than a career. This is my passion!”

At the lake, it’s never been about the square footage, school districts, or the number of bedrooms.

8

People are looking for a lifestyle. They want to create family memories, be part of a loving community, and enjoy the peacefulness of the sun setting over the water! Marnita’s understanding of this and her ability to provide her clients the lake life they have been dreaming of has made Marnita Swickard the Top Producing Agent in the Greater Buckeye Lake area.

Top Agent Magazine

Lake living is something Marnita has known since birth. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, her grandparents owned lakefront property of their own. What started as a weekend home later served as their full-time residence when they retired. It was a lake home that church friends, family, and grandchildren couldn’t wait to visit.

She spent countless hours with her family creating lake memories of swimming, sunbathing, tubing, waterskiing, fishing, and more as a child.

While her grandparent’s lake home is still in the family, her newfound love of Buckeye Lake began after she started spending her weekends there Top Agent Magazine

after graduating high school.

Marnita got her start in the real estate world working in commercial real estate and property management in Columbus. It was the next logical move to earn her real estate license in 1994 and focus on helping families find their own little piece of paradise at Buckeye Lake. For the past 28 years, she has made it her mission to help families on their way to creating those same family traditions and memories from her childhood!

Even though she sells property all over central Ohio, lake living is different. Buckeye Lake 9

extends through 3 counties, 4 zip codes, and 3 school districts. It takes a professional to understand all the lake life nuances. The potential for flood insurance, the difference between boat slips and boat docks, lake access, different types of watercraft, and where to go to truly enjoy the lake lifestyle you want to gain when buying a lakefront home all take an advanced knowledge of the area.

Buyers and sellers alike have found Marnita’s knowledge of the lake unparalleled. Not every agent will spend two or three seasons with a client looking for property. She knows and understands that the more houses you see and eliminate, the more evident that one true home will stand out when you find it. Marnita’s 3-4 hour lake tour has been the driving force for her buyer’s understanding of the lake and each lake area. With over a dozen waterfront bars and restaurants and homes that range from $300,000 to well over 1.5 million, understanding a client’s needs and desires is critical.

She chuckles at the thought of her excitement in purchasing her first color HP printer in 1995!

She mounted her cell phone in her car and wore her pager on her hip so her clients could reach her anytime. Not fully understanding the gravity of purchasing the domain buckeyelake.com back in 2001, it’s not only become a website full of information and resources but the premier real estate search engine for Buckeye Lake property.

Marnita is very involved in the community, offering her thoughts and recommendations to developers and builders alike. She has been an integral part of the development of 3 different communities around the lake, while being the exclusive Realtor® in the sale of these properties. She takes pride in giving back and helping strengthen other causes and businesses across the area. Whether it’s investing her time, sponsoring events, or offering premier marketing services to help raise awareness, Top Agent Magazine

she is always happy to help Buckeye Lake grow!

When it comes to marketing a home, Marnita commits to cutting-edge technology and exposure.

She has a significant presence on all the prominent social media platforms. Her clients appreciate the work she puts into custom marketing.

Professional photography and videography, print advertising, custom brochures, open houses, and newsletters are just the start of her marketing plan!

Her unrivaled comprehensive database of professionals and potential buyers has been developed over many years. She knows when the details are perfected, her clients receive all the benefits.

Staging homes boost your home’s value. One of Marnita’s most incredible talents is putting a room together to showcase its natural flow! Buyers are 11

able to visualize themselves living in a staged room much easier than a blank canvas. Marnita’s clients genuinely appreciate the extra equity generated by the custom staging she offers, using items right out of her own furniture supply!

Marnita surrounds herself with an exceptional team. Although her twin sister, Michelle Blizzard, has taken a background role in the last couple of years, her team is comprised of a strong marketing director who oversees 4 additional team members! With her son finishing his courses to get licensed, there are no plans of slowing down

in sight, and she is as dedicated to her client’s needs as ever!

When asked what she enjoys doing in her downtime, it continually circles back to work and her love for her community. “I live in a place that feels like a resort, and it feels like I’m on vacation already!

Why would I need downtime?” If you want to get a better idea of what she means to her clients, all you have to do is read from her long list of grateful testimonials to better understand the exceptional customer service she provides and the passion she has for providing the lake life dream to homeowners!

3 Mental Tricks That Will Take Your Business to the Next Level It’s no secret that running a successful business requires careful planning and a tireless work ethic. Beyond those obvious ideals, it also takes the right mindset in order to capitalize on professional opportunity. In the world of real estate and mortgage lending, mental fortitude is a major component to reaching the next Top Agent Magazine

level and achieving longevity in a sector that requires so much self-discipline. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a few key mental tricks you can employ to reinvigorate your working philosophy. Incorporate these techniques into your daily mindfulness routine and your business will surely benefit.

Top Agent Magazine ®

1

Visualization helps you work efficiently and keep your cool.

This may sound like one of the oldest tricks in the book, but there’s a reason why Olympic athletes and those serving in first-responder positions use visualization as a time-honored mental technique. Not only does visualizing your daily tasks help you organize your mind, but it amps up your ability to focus on what’s important. Visualization also helps reduce stress in the moment, since you’ve already created a mental expectation of the task ahead. Whether you’re preparing for a negotiation or a pitch to new a client—visualization primes your brain and affords you an extra sense of control as you tackle your day.

2

Distill concepts into their simplest terms for ultimate understanding.

As an agent or loan officer, you’re likely juggling numerous clients and commitments on any given day. That’s why it helps to distill your responsibilities in clear, definitive terms. Let’s say you have a meeting set with a client to outline a marketing approach for their property. You may understand the broad strokes, but beforehand, try verbalizing the exact takeaways you’d like to impart to your client.

This may seem obvious, but one of the best ways to clarify your communication and ensure your com-

14

plete understanding of a subject is to explain it aloud in its simplest terms. This crystallizes your main point and can come in handy if you drift off-topic or need to double-down on your message.

3

Accept that mistakes will be made.

While it’s natural to fear failure, sometimes the dread of making an error can overwhelm your ability to perform. As the saying goes: don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

If you accept in advance that set-backs will occur, challenges will come, and things won’t always go accordingly to plan—you’ll be less confounded when hurdles do arise. What matters is keeping an even keel as you sort through unexpected delays or mishaps. Accepting that mistakes will happen allows you to shift your focus towards a solution or contingency plan. In other words, don’t spend your energy trying to achieve perfection. Aim high and work hard, but be in touch with reality: upsets are bound to occur. Accept this and you’ll be ready when they do.

The path to lasting success is ongoing, and there are bound to be challenges along the way. It takes mental fortitude to make it to the top, so keep these tricks in mind as you continue to grow as a person and a professional. Seeing situations in a new light can make all the difference as you adapt, evolve, and take your business to the next level.

Welcome Home:

Working with Relocators in Transition People stage moves for all sorts of reasons.

From the joyous and pre-planned, to the unfortunate and unexpected, new chapters begin with the help of an agent. When you’re working with buyers from a different region, state, or country, the typical complications of a transaction can be compounded. So, what’s a savvy agent to do?

For starters, envision the big picture. Relocators have extra obstacles between them and 18

their dream home. They don’t necessarily know which neighborhoods are ideal for their lifestyle, what they should budget for utilities, what type of homeowner’s insurance is ideal, or how they can tour, let alone close, on a house from afar. All in all, it’s a tall order, but if you can manage a relocation transaction successfully, you could tap into a sizable pool of clientele. Think of it this way: if you’re the shining star of a relocator’s moving process, their word-of-mouth praise could be

Top Agent Magazine ®

Top Agent Magazine

exponential. Likewise, a winning reputation within that client’s corporate sphere could lead to lucrative, stable referrals and partnerships for years to come. Here are a few key ways to help clients navigate the relocation process with minimal stress and maximum results.

Create a full-scale timeline for you and your client that makes expectations clear.

Moving is already one of life’s biggest stressors, but relocations have a dozen more moving parts that your average deal. Consider creating a master-plan of sorts to help you and your client visualize the steps required to achieve success in the midst of a relocation.

Even from afar, your client will be able to refer to the roadmap you’ve set. Likewise, this makes sure you and your client are on the same page regarding expectations, timelines, and checklists. Assemble an articulated, overarching gameplan also helps demystify the process and lower stress. Instead of clients wondering what’s next, what’s needed, who to call, and when to be ready—handy guidelines of your own devising will be at their fingertips.

Top Agent Magazine

Attune your communication style so that nothing goes overlooked or miscommunicated.

Establish early on how your client prefers to communicate and which methods should be excluded. Also, make sure to outline what timeframes are ideal to communicate in, and how often they expect to hear from you with status updates or follow-ups. Some clients might prefer a more hands-off approach that lets you manage most details behind the scenes with updates only when progress is made. Most clients in the midst of a serious relocation, however, will prefer to be in touch more frequently. Customizing is key. If they prefer text messages and emails over calls, that’s a helpful detail to know from the outset. If they prefer face-to-face video chats or can only speak after business hours—those are also key parameters to work within. The less mystery and hassle, the better.

Be a local resource with vetted recommendations and vendors on-hand.

Relocating homeowners may not know the best neighborhoods and their amenities, or where the best school districts are, which areas are high-traffic, or where their dollar might stretch a little further. Identifying your clients’ goals can help narrow this field, but you’ll also want to be careful not to overwhelm them with information. After all, they’re taking on a huge life transition and making a move as an outsider. You’ll want to serve as a onestop-shop who can remove some steps and stress from their organizational obligations.

Have a contractor who can get a head-start on home projects while clients make the move?

Top Agent Magazine ®

19

Excellent. Or, perhaps you can provide an out-of-state agent referral so that clients can sell their existing property in a timeline that works in conjunction with their new purchase. Make yourself a community expert and a connector, and you’ve won a client— and their referrals—for much longer than a single transaction.

Think outside the box when weighing variables.

Relocations aren’t your typical transaction.

You’ll need to do a bit more planning to avoid pitfalls along the way. For instance, have you considered how you’ll tour homes with clients if they live hundreds of miles away?

Are there time zone differences to factor in?

20

If clients are relocating from another country, are there any special visa or naturalization considerations? How will their belongings travel? Are there pets to relocate? There are plenty of questions to ask and plan for, but the key is to be communicative and thorough up front. The more information and planning time you have, the smoother the transition will go.

There are certified real estate agent designations you can pursue that set you apart for your experience when it comes to relocations, but in lieu of those—arm yourself with the planning details and methods that will make your client a raving fan. In the process, you’ll up your game, create a happy client, and hopefully field similar business for years to come.

SARA MUNIZA Sara Muniza is a personable agent with a lifelong love for real estate. Her strong community network and background in marketing contribute to her continually high referral rates. Sara serves the northwest quadrant of Columbus. “It’s my bread and butter,” she says, a nod to her upbringing in nearby Upper Arlington, and having spent the last decade putting down roots in Dublin.

Sara’s interest in real estate dates back to her elementary school days. An ambitious fifth-grader, Sara’s class yearbook boldly declared, “I want to be a real estate agent,” under her future career goals. That same year, her parents began looking for a house. Sara voluntarily conducted market research, pouring over newspaper listings and religiously watching the Sunday Morning Home Show.

Eventually, she found the perfect house, and with one of her limited pay phone quarters, Sara rang up Babara Lach, from the halls of Tremont Elementary school. Barbara was one of the top agents in the UA at the time, and arranged a meeting: her parents bought the house! For Sara, this confirmed her passion, and this experience from her youth continues to motivate her efforts to help clients find the home of their dreams today.

Sara’s lifelong love of real estate eventually led her to pursue licensure in 2018. She left her job at Nationwide and launched her real estate career as a solo agent. In just a few short years, Sara’s repeat and referral rates have reached an astounding 90-95%. She jokes that her tagline should be, “A friend of your friend,” due to her extensive network connections. She shares current listings and industry initiatives via social media, which she considers a “really important aspect” of her real estate success. “No one knows what you do, unless you show them.”

Sara is known for keeping in close contact with her past clients, “It’s a really important focus for me.” She shares how nearly 50% of her marketing efforts and budget

go towards staying in front of her referrals, sphere, and past clients. One of her favorite marketing tactics is “pop bys.”

This consists of distributing custom, holiday-specific gifts at the doorstep of her clients’ homes. A particular favorite is her holiday gift of wrapping paper, bows, and tape, with a cheeky message about “wrapping up the year.”

Once every year, Sara enjoys catering lunch for about 10-15 of her son, Rocco’s Dublin teachers. In addition to this, Sara sits on several local committees, including the Affordable Housing Committee, Keller Williams Consultants Social Committee, and the Builder-Realtor Alliance Committee (BRAC).

Sara intends to build a legacy through real estate. She shares, “I want this to be a business that stands the test of time.” As her children get older, and her business continues to grow, she intends to bring more family members into her agent network. Her ultimate mission is to keep her client numbers low, to ensure highly personalized service.

She concludes, “I always want to make sure that my clients have a seamless experience from beginning to end.”

Sara ended our interview by reiterating something she says in each of her monthly newsletters; that real estate “means more to me than buying and selling homes - it feels like being an architect, building sturdy bridges between hope and fear, so you can cross safely. It feels like being a commodities trader, betting on ‘futures,’ and hoping it all works out. Oftentimes, it feels like being a therapist, confidant, or maybe even your new best friend. I will do many jobs, and wear many hats. But I will never lose sight that it’s not about houses - it’s about seeing you through one of the most difficult and exciting times of your life, so you can call your next house, home. It’s about making your dreams a reality and your future a place you’ll want to live. There’s only one job to call that: Your Real Estate Agent.” We couldn’t agree more!

Creative Ways to Say Thank You

Most top real estate agents find ways to welcome their clients to their new home. A common theme is a bottle of wine and some wine glasses for that first post-threshold toast, or a bouquet of flowers to brighten up that empty living space until the furniture arrives.

But are you truly being as creative as you can with your appreciation? Here are some innovative gift ideas that will truly keep you front of mind with your valued customers and assure their gratitude and repeat business, not to mention a slew of referrals.

1. How about a streaming video device, like a Roku

or Amazon Fire Stick? There’s a good chance your clients will not have their cable service up and running for a few days, and this is an excellent way for them to enjoy their television before they get that connection going. Bundle it up in a basket with some DVD’s for the kids, and don’t forget all necessary cables.

2. Matching bathrobes and Bath kits: Fleece or ter-

rycloth bathrobes and a basket filled with highend his and her body scrubs, bubble bath and other luxurious pampering items can make the first night in a new home feel like a check-in at a fabulous resort and make the memory of that first night one to cherish. Again, don’t forget the kids!

22

3. Arrange a catered meal from a local vendor. As-

certain in advance dietary preferences and restrictions, and have a wonderful, healthy meal delivered on move-in night. To complete the magic, provide brand new plates, silverware and glassware to serve it all on.

4. For homes with swimming pools or Jacuzzis, a

stack of fluffy pool towels is always appreciated and will be used by family and friends for years to come. Additionally, acrylic stemware for celebrating safely can be provided alongside them.

5. If it’s winter time and the home has a fireplace, make sure there’s plenty of wood to burn. Some fireplace accessories and a log holder will certainly make your clients appreciate you on every chilly night to come.

So when it comes to gifting your buyers, the trick is to be creative. A bottle of wine lasts one night, and the flowers wilt in a few days. Try coming up with something a little more creative that will remain with your clients in their day-to-day lives and remind them of you consistently. The little bit extra you spend to show your gratitude can reap huge dividends when it comes time for your client to purchase a second home or refer a friend.
