Get Rid of Pet Smell Before You Sell | Sellers Tips for Homeowners

Get Rid of Pet Smell Before You Sell

This is an ongoing problem I see very often when I'm on listing appointments

Our olfactory systems tend to get used to different smells inside our houses 

[insert your own joke here] 

and some sellers are not aware that their homes smell really,really bad. .

When I list a property, I have to be brutally honest or else...

My client will be wondering: 

Why is my house not selling? 

Some of the tips I like to give, if you have a home to sell and own a pet as well is: 

Stock up on baking soda, it is an amazing product after all, cheap and effective.

Another great tip is to use a neutralizing odor remover to eliminate the odor, follow the instructions and have plenty of it in stock.. specially if you are preparing your home to sell.

Pet urine will flow below a carpet and go way deep underneath the pad below. . in some cases it is better to go ahead and replace the whole padding and the carpet.

If your "macho" chihuahua loves to "mark" his territory on your walls and furniture... .painting will do the trick.

Also using a wet vac is a good way to tackle a recent "accident" after treating it with an odor neutralizer.

Selling a home is a big challenge to undertake
If you are looking for the highest net possible. 
My recommendation is to find a good agent that understands the problems and has the solutions to help you prepare your home to sell.

If you are considering selling a home in the near future, 

or know of someone that needs to sell

When Bad Neighbors Hurt Your Home's Sale

When Bad Neighbors Hurt Your Home's Sale

This post was inspired while  speaking to a potential seller who stated .. .

"We are considering selling and getting away from here because of a bad neighbor"

After more than 20 years in real estate, this was not a surprise for me, but I reflected on this particular homeowner. ..

What an awful position to be in. .

You are moving your whole family, selling your home . .just because a neighbor?

As you know, pricing and condition are key factors in selling any  home, but there’s one  factor that could influence a buyer’s decision and trump all others. .

Your neighbors!

When buyers come looking to your home for sale, 

They are not just looking at your home but the whole neighborhood as well. .

Then how do you sell a home when bad neighbors create a bad impression when selling your home? 

This is the time where homeowners appreciate HOA's 

If you have an HOA, you may want to enlist and tackle the problem with their help. .remain anonymous if possible

There are also  likely ordinances in place from city ordinances  that require lawns to be reasonably maintained, failure to do so can result in fines, which is usually enough to persuade some homeowner to take better care of the property.

Dealing with bad neighbors can be annoying, but it could cost you money if you are selling your home

A tactful plan of attack using a good listing agent is very important here

Because of a bad neighbor, you should not have to sacrifice the value of your home. 

Watch the video for more tips and focus on successfully selling your home with the right person representing you.

  First Time Home Buyer's Secrets For Maryland Residents 

The Only Two Steps you must take when buying your first home....

Realizing the benefits of Home Ownership

Renting is normal and it fits some lifestyles. .no one should pressure you to rent or buy

I'm sure you are tired of hearing the same messages over and over again. .I can assure you, you will not hear it from us.

               

As I  respect your decision whether to rent or buy. .

I presume the reason why you are here reading this is because 

becoming a homeowner is important to you.

You've come to right place then. .

These are the two steps I would take if I was buying a home for the first time

STEP #1 (DO THIS TO SAVE $$$$$) 

Determining if home ownership  is what you are really after.

Renting in some cases may be  better for you.

If you are planning to move within 2 years, perhaps buying a home is not a good idea

If you are required to put a sizable amount for down payment to ignore credit problems. .home ownership may not be a good idea. .you may prefer to repair and fix issues on your credit first.

The question to ask yourself  is what are your long-term goals are 

and 

 how home ownership fits in with those plans. 

Don't  just buy  because your friend are telling you that you are wasting your money if you are renting. .

Or you see home ownership as a sign of their independence and enjoy the idea of proving someone you care for that you can be a homeowner as well. 

Narrowing down the real reasons why you would like to be a homeowner will help the person or person you elect to help you down this path

As soon as you pick an specialist that understand the reasons and has a complete understanding of your financial and credit situation, . .only then you can go on to the next step

STEP #12  (FIND THIS TO SAVE $$$$$) 

Stop, your job is done!

Once that you've chosen someone that you can trust on their abilities to help you..

The hardest part is done. .

As soon as you find a Realtor® you can trust with experience to realize your dreams and goals

You can relax and trust their advice because they are there to help you

Maryland First Time Home Buyers Programs

Maryland First Time Home Buyers Programs

Several programs are available for first time homebuyers to help them put the house keys in their hands for the very first time.

Securing a mortgage loan first is a major step to make this a reality.

It requires lots of preparation and possibly  significant financial investment from their part.

Lenders require a down payment for most mortgage loans, and in addition,  the purchasing process often results in closing costs that will be an obligation to the new buyer.

Sometimes, to encourage home buying, local governments and also federal put  out some programs that can provide grant money to help first home buyers with the costs of purchasing a home. Most of these programs are geared toward first-time home buyers.

The reason is that, they want to encourage home ownership to help people create wealth for their citizens and increase their tax base..

They don't want you renting the rest of your life..
