Happy Last Day of Summer 2012.....finds Parkfairfax's inventory continuing to be low. The most renovated homes continue to generate the quickest sales, which means the most money!  Some of you have told me you think quick sales are "for the Realtor". Really? Proof is in the statistics. The longer a home is "for sale" the lower the price a buyer is willing to pay.

Get you home ready to sell. In today's market, you need to thoroughly wash the windows. Buyers perceive the house to be well-maintained if the windows are clean. Please remember the areas between the screen and the window. Wax and buff to a new shine those gorgeous hardwood floors.

Display new towels in the bath(s) and the kitchen, change out the commode seat. Remove trash cans from view. Remember, we're creating an illusion. People want to see how they want to live; not reality. Look at homes for sale on HGTV! You'll quickly learn what to do.

Remember location when you're buying. The position of the home WILL NOT CHANGE. Everything inside CAN change. Renovations are not as important as location.

Come visit The johnANDjohn TEAM in Parkfairfax on any given Sunday. Allow us to introduce ourselves. And to those of whom we know; thanks for dropping in to visit and check out other homes.  Check out our clients' homes for sale on www.Parkfairfax.com and www.johnANDjohn.net . Now let's get ready for some changing leaf color and some cool days!
