the work really starts after the contract is written

Once the contract is written, the job of a good Realtor has really just begun. So has the job of a host of people including lenders, attorneys, title companies, insurance agents, home warranty companies and so on.

The beginning: Writing the contract.

Once the contract is written, the closing process is underway. (This document is geared toward the Richmond Virginia Market and there are minor to major differences in other areas of the state and country.) The contract must be sent to the following parties:

Buyer's Inspections

Home inspections are just part of the real estate purchase. It's something every seller needs to accept as fact, or decide not to sell. When I listed my own home for sale, my husband could not figure out why I was so concerned about the home inspection. I wasn't worried about the city inspection at all. City inspections are superficial compared to the buyer's home inspection. He didn't realize that buyers actually demand repairs to be made as a result of their inspection

Moving Guide: Get Organized Before You Move

- 11 Jun 2007, by Victoria Stankard

Organization goes hand-in-hand with packing and unpacking. A huge bonus of moving to a new house is that out of necessity, you’ll be motivated to de-clutter, clean, and organize everything in your household. You can make the most of this impetus by getting organized well in advance of your move.

Price High, Lose Money

Pricing a home too high will often net the seller LESS money in the end than if the home was priced right from the start.

For example, if your home is valued at, let's say $350,000, but you decide to put it on the market at $375,000. The buyers who are looking at homes in the $375,000 price range will look at other homes in that price range - homes that are priced properly - and your home won't be able to compete. In addition, buyers who are looking in the $350,000 price range won't even come to see your home because it is priced above their price range.

What Exactly is Home Staging NOT Designed For?

By Nickie

Home staging is about putting your home’s best face forward. It is about using furniture to create the best flow of traffic, using light to create both ambience and functionality, and accessories to create the right mood.
