Real Estate Myths Myth #1

The Seller sets the selling price

You think you’re sitting on a gold mine.

Your family and friends (aka wannabe real estate experts) tell you your home offers incredible value. It’s worth $$$, right?

Yes, you’ll be the one making the final decision. But... the actual selling price needs to be relevant to the property’s location, size and current market conditions.

Royal City Realtors know the local market inside-out and will give

$$$

you the best possible advice about pricing your home correctly in the current market. Call us, let’s talk.

TIPS FOR A NO-STRESS MOVE

N

ow that the weather is getting warmer, more people are moving. Moving can lead to new, exciting possibilities, but it also means leaving behind the people and places you love. While some sentimental items can be taken to your new place, many memories just aren't transportable.

To ensure that everything with your move goes smoothly and that your treasured belongings arrive safely to your new home, prepare with these stress-free tips.

cannot require you to pay more than 110 percent of the price given in a non-binding estimate in order to get your property from them. It prevents movers from holding your property for ransom. If you’re moving intrastate, most states have a similar rule for those movers.

1. RESEARCH YOUR MOVER Look at publicly-available information. All interstate movers are required to be both licensed and registered with the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. That site will also have complaint reports for registered movers.

Your local Better Business Bureau also tracks complaints.

3. INSURANCE Make sure that your mover is insured, and don’t work with one that isn’t. Federal law requires interstate movers to offer liability coverage for any damage to your property at no cost. However, the baseline coverage is 60 cents per pound per item, regardless of the item’s value. Most movers also offer additional coverage for a fee, which you should consider after reviewing the terms. Before declining such additional coverage, think of how much your items are worth, and if 60 cents per pound is enough to make it right if something happens.

2. GET AN ESTIMATE You need an estimate based on a walk-through. If the mover refuses to do so, or insists that you sign a contract (or make a deposit) before doing so, find someone else.

This is a big deal because of the “110 Percent Rule”, which says interstate movers

Note that there’s an exception from the federal 110 Percent Rule for services incurred after the estimate is signed.

4. MAKE ROOM FOR NEW MEMORIES Taking every item of sentimental value with you to your new home is not always

possible. Moving is the perfect opportunity to organize and purge items you don't need or won't use in your new residence.

To lessen the load on moving day, hold a garage sale or donate unwanted items to a local charity. If you're trying to sell your current home, the less clutter the better.

5. ORGANIZE, DON'T AGONIZE Starting the process early can help avoid nerve-wracking, last-minute packing, and give you time to be a bit nostalgic. Before you begin boxing things up, take videos and photos of each room to preserve your memories of that space. Don't forget to include outdoor areas like a backyard tree house or handprints in the patio cement.

6. PROTECT DELICATE POSSESSIONS To ensure your belongings arrive safely, it's essential to pack possessions with extra care. Safeguard breakables with wrapping materials designed to protect fragile goods, such as bubble wrap cushioning, for the best protection.

Next, have your movers pack items in clean, sturdy containers in a variety of sizes. Large boxes should be used for bulky, yet lighter furnishings, such as pillows and

blankets, and heavier objects should be in smaller boxes to avoid unnecessary strain.

Make sure boxes are sealed securely.

Be sure to label boxes clearly, marking them on the sides of the boxes, not the top. This step makes it obvious what's inside, even if they're stacked. You also can use different colored or printed packaging tapes to color code each room - red for the bedroom, blue for the kitchen.

7. HAVE HELP ON HAND If you’re moving to a location close to your old home, recruit friends and family to help with unloading and unpacking. You'll love showing off your new place, and it'll help with the transition to see that loved ones aren't too far away to make the trip.

Put together an "open me first" box with the gear you'll need immediately, such as tools to assemble furniture, cleaning supplies and shelf liner for drawers, closets and kitchen cabinets.

WHICH UPGRADES ARE WORTH IT TO HELP YOU SELL YOUR HOUSE? Is it finally time to sell your house? That's the question on many homeowners' minds as interest rates remain relatively low, still making it a good time to find a buyer and find themselves a new home. And the spring is a great time to list your house.

But before you put your home on the market, you should walk around the inside and outside and take note of opportunities to upgrade things. Sometimes staging your home isn’t enough; you might need to put some money into it. However, a full-blown remodel or renovations might not be worth your time or money, so focus on smaller things that will still move the needle.

You want potential buyers to like what they see when they attend an open house or look at your house with their realtor. To increase your home's "like" quotient, read on to see which upgrades are worth making and which aren't.

WORTH IT NOT WORTH IT

A NEW FRONT DOOR. Strictly in terms of return on investment, a steel door topped the list of remodeling magazine's annual cost vs. Value report - recouping 96.6 Percent of the average price. But a fresh coat of paint on your current door can work wonders, too.

A BACK-UP POWER GENERATOR. They’re an easy upgrade: you pretty much have to buy one and put it outside or in your basement with proper ventilation. Generators play especially well in areas regularly brutalized by storms or bad winter weather.

ROOFING REPLACEMENT. There's a reason this ultimate "curb appeal" enhancer consistently makes remodeling's list: a roof is the first thing prospective buyers notice even before exiting their cars, and you can kiss that sale goodbye if yours looks like it's been battered and beaten.

A HOME-OFFICE REMODEL. We know what you're thinking: With so many more people working from home, wouldn't it be brilliant to rewire the space for electronic equipment, say, and install commercial-grade carpeting? Not really. The magazine gave it the lowest return on investment (48.9 percent), and the guy who oversaw the study says, "Home offices don't sell houses."

MAJOR BATHROOM WORK. "You could install the most spectacular jetted tub, and it still might not suit a buyer," says Patsy O'Neill, a sales associate in Montclair, N.J. "Meanwhile, you'd have spent tens of thousands of dollars."

MAJOR KITCHEN RENOVATIONS. Again, the key word is "major," and again it's a "taste" issue.

You could put in the appliances and cabinets you think look great, only for a potential buyer to hate them.
