Knox County Ohio residents got a big surprise this past weekend when 16 inches of snow fell within a 24 hour period. This was the largest single day snow storm for Ohio that was recorded in more than 50 years. On Friday March 7th the county was declared a level 2 snow emergency which means motorists were advised to say home. On March 8th they raised the snow emergency to a level 3 which means only emergency vehilces are allowed to be on the roads. When I woke up Sunday morning the roads were amazingly clean and it was very obvious that the city, the townships and the county had all worked around the clock and their efforts paid off in a big way. Mount Vernon Schools were open Monday morning and the drive to work was smooth with no issues. Traveling the roads in Mount Vernon, Fredericktown, Howard, Gambier, Centerburg and Apple Valley should be back to business as usual and in record time.

Let me begin with some very basic yet very important concepts:
#1. When your home is in "Top Condition" it will sell faster and for a higher price.
#2. If the buyer smells cat or dog odors you won't sell it for top dollar and maybe not at all.
#3. A home full of clutter and disorganization is a major turn off to buyers.
#4. Clean, nice and neat homes that are well staged sells for higher prices than fixer upper homes.
If the potential buyer feels that you love your home and if they believe you have taken good care of it you will be more likely to sell for a fair price, sell faster and have less issues with inspections and other inspection contingencies. However, homes that are simply listed for sale with no regard to the condition and are not show ready will sit, the seller will be forced to reduce the price over and over again in order to sell it. The best news is that preparing a home for sale is not difficult, it is not costly and is always worth the extra effort. If you want a faster sale for more money with less negotiating you will want to talk with me about my tops and methods for getting your home ready to sell.
When I represent a home owner and after they have hired me to sell their home I work with them on ways we can make their house show it's best and appeal to the highest number of buyers. As part of my service to my sellers I provide a home preparation DVD called "Preparing Your Home To Sell" by real estate specialist David Knox. This DVD shows you tips and methods for making your house appear lighter and brighter, cleaner and it shows you how to give your home an advantage over other competing homes for sale. If you have ever watched shows like "Sell This House" you will truly appreciate this video.
The real estate market is more competitive than every before anand it is important to take advantage of every opportunity available to you. Getting your home ready to show and sell and selecting a price that will attract ready, willing and financially capable buyers is what I do so if you want top notch representation give me a call at (740) 397-7800 or 1-800-282-9096.
