Tips for selling your home:

• Paint the walls neutral colors; a green or red master bedroom is not in!!

• Accentuate the main features of your home. In other words, remove clutter or nick-nacks in the house, especially the kitchen.

• Clean carpets, or expect to replace them if they are in poor condition.

• Make sure the front yard is maintained.

• Burn scented candles or use air freshners to make the house smell more pleasant.

• Play soft relaxing music to set the mood.

• Consider providing a Home Warranty, especially if the home is older than 10 years.

• Last but not least, always try and keep the house clean and tidy; weekends are going to be your main showing days, so prepare in advance.

For Sellers

Selling your home can be a headache and choosing the right Realtor to market your home is an important decision to make. Atlanta Realtors may claim to have all sorts of wonderful plans to sell your home, but the

3 main factors that will sell your home are:

1. Pricing your home right
2. M.O.E.™ (Maximum Online Exposure)
3. Condition and Demand!

1.) Pricing your home:

This is the single most important thing to consider when selling your home. Statistically homes usually sell closer to their list price within the first 3 to 4 weeks on the market, when they are priced competitively.

Everyone wants top dollar for their home and rightly so, but market conditions/trends tend to dictate what houses can sell for. Pricing your home at an unrealistic price can only appeal to emotional Buyers who may "fall in love" with the home, but a competitively Priced home will appeal to the price-conscious Buyers, of which there are many.

2.) M.O.E.™ - Maximum Online Exposure:

Exposure, Expsoure, Exposure. Just think about it folks...the more Exposure your property has online the better your chances are of attracting a Buyer. Statistics show, according to the NAR (National Association of Realtors), that 78% of home Buyers across the nation are searching for their dream home ONLINE.

What does that mean, you might ask! It simply means that the more exposure your home has on the Internet, the better your chances are of Selling it. That is why we developed M.O.E.™ as an Online Marketing Plan to assist in the sale of your single most important investment.

So where's the EXPOSURE? Here is a list of Websites and Real Estate Listing Companies that we market your home with:

> FMLS (First Multiple Listing Service)
> GAMLS (Georgia Multiple Listing Service)
> Realtor.com
> Atlantaavenues.com (Our website)
> Atlantagrandestates.com (Our websites)
> Craigslist.com

The FMLS and the GAMLS are 2 very important search engine tools for Realtors. Without your home being on either one of these platforms, the likelihood of selling your home can diminish considerably.

Also, our website is linked to a number of reciprocal websites around the country, meaning MORE EXPOSURE!

3.) Condition and Demand:

Bottom line is that your home must be in good condition to attract Buyers when they walk through the door. Too much clutter is distracting to the eye and an unkept house will likely be a turnoff to the Buyer.

Like selling any product, the demand needs to be there. Having said that, Location, Schools, Amenities and Exterior/Interior Appointments are important factors for Buyers in their decision making process. Give the Buyer a reason to Buy your home, and he may just do that!

It's tough to compete with Builders and the Jones', who have finished their basement and have new stainless steel appliances and granite countertops in the kitchen. Therefore one needs a little WOWAPPEAL when selling your home. To most people this sounds costly or laborious, but setting the right mood in motion can help sway Buyers to consider your home over the Jones's, especially if it's an older home.
