NH Holiday Home Selling tips…

Thinking of selling your Southern New Hampshire home during the holidays?

In this market we all know a home needs to be “prepared” to sell or “staged” to sell as some would call it. It is especially important during the Holidays.

We all love our special holiday decorations but when your home is on the market it’s time to keep some of them packed away. It’s hard to “live in” a home while it is on the market and to keep that home feeling like it is still your home.  But, as attached as we are remember that “less is better” when it comes to decorations, family knickknacks and yes even family pictures.

It’s important that the potential buyers can imagine themselves in your home and if your home is heavily decorated and full of all “your” stuff it sometimes inhibits the buyers and makes it hard for them to get beyond your stuff to the point where they can picture their stuff in it’s place.

We want to help them mentally move in!

Curb appeal is crucial both at the curbside and on the Internet …how your home is packaged makes all the difference. We can get potential buyers to your home but once there your home needs to capture them. Your home needs to “pop” and touch the buyer.

A well staged home…either professionally or with the use of some common tips can make a big difference in the marketability of your home. This video is just the first step. Give us a call if you’re considering listing your southern New Hampshire home for sale. We can assist you in pricing and in making sure your home is ready for the market. No obligation- No pressure…just some free help with the hopes that you like the difference we can make so much that you trust us with the sale of your home.

NH Real Estate Blog back up and running

Our site has been down for many days as we were moving our data from our old hosting company to our new hosting company Blue Host. This is a WordPress run blog and it’s data is stored in a database called mysql. I had copied the data over from our old host months ago to only realize I never imported the databases. I only was pointing the database from our old company to the new one.

When our other hosting company’s term ended our sites went down. It took me a little while to figure out how it happened. Thanks to Blue Host they pointed me in the right direction.

I needed to export the old database and import the old database into Blue Hosts sql servers. I didn’t do it. Then I needed to re-configure the config.php file properly to reflect the Blue Host server. Thanks to the helpful technicians at Blue Host I finally understood how to do this properly.

My old hosting company only gave me back up files and the backup file of the sql database was a year old. Now you can see why I am no longer with them.

Stay tuned as we will be bringing you more Real Estate information and good topics of our surrounding communities as we write about how great New Hampshire is.

Real Estate’s Paradigm Shift

The shifting New Hampshire Real Estate marketI’ve been thinking about this lately. When I entered the business in the mid eighties all the REALTORS knew each other and everyone worked hard to cooperate with each other. Then the market shifted, prices rose dramatically and everyone and their mother thought it would be cool to sell real estate. One day it all came to a screeching halt. The market changed and for those that were unaware, it felt like an over night change. Those that keenly watched the market knew what was happening and what was coming. It took awhile but the market eventually improved and the up cycle started all over again. [Read more...]

Prudential Verani Realty…always a leader embraces Internet marketing!

Jay and I are pretty excited about the fact that Prudential Verani Realty recognizes the power of the Internet. While the company is not totally into web 2.0 yet it is taking some big steps in that direction. They’ve announced some cool changes that will make our job much easier…I’m lovin these changes.

One of the most important changes taking place is regarding the distribution of our listings to various real estate websites. One of the latest surveys indicates that a whooping 88% ( I really think higher) of potential home-buyers start their search on the web. [Read more...]
