With over 10 years experience in selling and marketing homes for sale just like yours I have noticed several factors which seem to be common in most successful sales. Listed below are the top factors I believe that will influence the sale and marketing of your home;

1. A clean home sells for more money! It can't be emphasized enough the importance of having your home clean and tidy. The majority of purchasers will always select a clean home over one that is dirty, messy and or cluttered. Closet space should have stored items removed if you are not using them. If painting is required it should be done in neutral shades which will help the home show its best - it could mean thousands difference in the sale price of your home. I take the time and go through your home with a buyer's perspective and offer inexpensive solutions to get you the most money with the least inconvenience.
2. Timing to the seller is like location to the buyer. Timing is the condition of the real estate market at the time of the sale. Supply and demand are huge factors influencing whether it's a Seller's or a Buyer's market. Neither myself or Re/Max can change the current market conditions but with my experience and understanding individual needs I can advise a home seller advantages and disadvantages involved in marketing your home for sale at certain times throughout the year, which can save you valuable equity.
3. Price is usually the first thing on every ones mind, which is why I have decided to save it for last. After all, price can not be discussed effectively until each individuals needs are assessed and the previous factors are taken into consideration. Pricing your home properly has to be the most important factor in any successful sale. Properties improperly priced may end up in delayed or prevented sales. Your home is always in competition with other properties, so pricing your home too high will make other competitively priced homes sell. I take the time and provide a Comparative Market Analysis (like an appraisal) which looks at recent sales, your competition currently listed for sale and present market conditions. No matter the price of your property the same steps are taken to arrive at a properly priced home.
