The spring real estate season is here! Since there's a lot of competition out there, we thought we would share some tips on how to get the most money for your home! 

• Location: One of the top priorities of buyers is good location. Obviously, this is something you can't control, but it's something to keep in mind when selling your home. 
• Photography and videography: If you want to get top dollar for your home, it has to show well, especially online. Photo and video professionals have the tools to make your home pop off the page. Staging is another strategy that can make your home look great both in person AND online!
• Focus on local market: There are a lot of different things going on here in Southeast Michigan. What's true for Birmingham may be extremely different for what's going on in McComb County. Consulting a real estate professional can help you get a solid understanding of the relevant markets.

The spring market is finally here in Southeast Michigan, so I thought I would take the time today to share some tips to help you get your home ready to sell! 

• Curb appeal: If you really want to draw buyers into your home, the exterior needs to look stunning. 
• Staging: We have a stager on staff who will come out to your home and give you advice on how to make your home more appealing to potential buyers. 
• Small fixes: Replace light bulbs and touch up your walls to make your home look like a model home. Small imperfections add up and can really turn a buyer off.
• Pricing: An effective way to meet your home selling goals is to price your property in an attractive manner. You want to price it to sell, but you need to ensure you don't under price it. I have some strategies to help you figure out the perfect value for your home, so you don't leave any money on the table. 

If you have any questions about the selling process or if you would like our help getting top dollar for your home this spring, give us a call or shoot us a quick email. We would love to hear from you!

You've probably noticed, and reveled in, the incredibly low gas prices we've had in Birmingham lately. Today, we explain how these great oil prices affect your spending power.

It's been estimated that a 23% decrease in gas prices adds about $100/month to the average American's income. This equates to a 11% boost in purchasing power when buying a new home! Mortgage rates have recently fallen as well, and have resulted in a 7% boost to the purchasing power of buyers in our market! 

As you can see, now is a fantastic time to buy a home. Buying real estate is rarely, if ever, this affordable, so we encourage you to take advantage of these conditions while they last! 

If you have any questions about our current market, we would love to assist you! Give us a call or shoot us a quick email for the service you deserve! We look forward to hearing from you soon!
