if you could know what you don’t know about selling a home? What if you could learn how to make ten
percent more money when selling your home?
With summer approaching we would like to remind you and your loved ones
to watch out for sharks!
Home
selling sharks can take many forms and like real sharks they can chew you
up. Not knowing how to properly stage or
price your home can leave you vulnerable to lose thousands of dollars to the
home-selling sharks. It can also make
your home stay on the market for longer than it should which will lower the
sale price.
If
you or one of your friends, family members, or neighbors want to learn how to
avoid all of the headaches that come from home selling sharks; then come to one
of Cardano Experts home shark seminars on June 18th & June 20th. Expert real estate consultant Diane Cardano
Casacio will be speaking on how you can save thousands of dollars and sell your
home fast in 26 days or less.

You may not realize this but the simple act of repainting the walls in your home can do wonders for the success of selling your home. And when you add up just how little it costs versus how much the payback is – it’s a no brainer!
Use Neutral, Flexible Colors That Appeal to the Masses
So what are some of the things to keep in mind when you are sprucing up your place before listing it for sale? Simple. DO NOT PAINT YOUR WALLS WHITE!!
Use a Beige based color throughout. Try to put yourself in buyers’ shoes and allow them as much flexibility with their imagination to envision their own stuff in the house. How do you do that? Easy. Cover the walls with a nice, neutral color and you can’t go wrong. That’s what our resident painter does and by the time he and his team are done, the homes he paints for us just before listing come out looking brand new and completely transformed!
The benefit of using a neutral color is so that the home can appeal to buyers of many different styles and tastes. Light or medium beige will usually work with anything from Victorian décor to post-modern styles or even 80s retro. The point is to make it possible for buyers to see that relatively “blank canvas” and know that they can easily change it to suit their own tastes.
TIP ABOUT PAINTING: Paint All Trim WHITE!!! Get rid of the dark trim and everywhere in the house!!!!
Don’t Skimp Out on Quality – It Shows and It Blows
Another tip he offers is to use a quality paint brand along with a good primer so you can cover up any stubborn scuffmarks that might put off a buyer. Of course, before doing any of the painting be sure to apply some patching spackling material to smooth out any rough surfaces and patch up nail holes, dings or scratches. Sanding surfaces prior to painting is also a good idea for a finished, polished look.

No matter what market you’re selling in, whether in a seller-centric one or a buyer controlled real estate environment, a clean and fresh home will attract buyers and despite the expense of a few dollars it will work in your favor. Watch the video for more about painting before you list from one of Diane’s Home Selling Seminars.

Do you want
to receive a top dollar offer on your home when it goes on the market?If you do, then you better make sure your
emotions aren’t keeping your home from being all that it needs to be.You, like me, want to make sure your home is
attracting as much foot traffic demand as possible.Here are a couple of quick tips and things to
be aware of when pricing and staging your home for a top dollar offer.
When staging
your home the best way to approach it is with an open mind and an unbiased
heart. It is important to remember that
someone with a different taste in furniture, wall colors, bathroom, and kitchen
styles will most likely be buying your home.For that reason, if you are not open to changing some of the things you
have grown to love about your house to prepare it for sale, you may not even
get people to come to your door.The
best thing you can do right now is find a real estate expert and have them
conduct a room by room review of your home.
Like
staging pricing your home in the best way possible is to approach it with an
unbiased perspective.Sometimes growing
up in a home or building your family there may influence how much you believe
your home is worth.Even though great memories
have great value to you, an expert advisor will be better suited to properly
analyze the value of your home.The best
thing you can do right now is to find a real estate expert and have them
conduct a room by room
review of your home.

is, contact one of our experts by visiting calldianenow.com]

When
buying or selling a house one of the most overlooked parts of the process is
making sure you as a home buyer/seller are educated.The difference between negotiating the best
price of a home and wasting your time comes from hiring the right team.Having a team of experts working for you
instead of a traditional agent for a huge company creates a huge advantage for
you.
So
how can you tell the difference between a team of real estate experts and
average frustrated agents?We asked the
Cardano Real Estate Experts what you should look for when hiring a real estate
agent and they gave these responses:
· Real Estate Experts are in
it for the long run:The average frustrated agent may come in and
out of the real estate industry.They
may see the challenges and reduce their work habbits to part-time or not at
all.Experts are in it to win.They have been around for a long time and are
not going anywhere any time soon.
· Real Estate Experts have
cutting edge technology:Whether it be online
communication systems, internet marketing, or coming soon listing searches;
experts have the capabilities of enhancing your real estate experience.
· Real Estate Experts build
long term relationships:Having the approach of
building relationships vs. flipping houses shows that the experts wants to
learn what is important to you.The goal
of experts is to make you so outrageously happy with the level of help you get
that you gladly introduce them to your friends or family members who also need
their help.
· Real Estate Experts are
prepared:They know all the local market trends, statistics
and are prepared for every situation because they’ve done it thousands of
times.
· Real Estate Experts can
negotiate:The negotiation process
can change the final cost up or down thousands of dollars.Knowing that you have a team of experts that
are pit-bull negotiators will put your mind at ease knowing they will fight for
your every last penny.
· Real Estate Experts know
the market:Since experts know the market so well they
help you stay one step ahead of the process every time.So you’ll know what to expect, when to expect
it, and how it will happen.
·Real Estate Experts know
what’s going on with you:Having a team of
experts allows more than one person to be familiar with what is going on with
your situation.Since expert teams work
together you will have many people working to help you who know your exact
situation.
·Real Estate Experts know
you:Not only does a team of experts know your
situation but they also get to know you.The entire team should be there for you when you call and it should not
just be a recording when you call.
·Real Estate Experts
educate:Real Estate Experts have a responsibility to
educate.Since they have such an
in-depth perception of the real estate market they will be willing to share
that information with you freely for your benefit.Usually teams of experts will host seminars,
trainings, or webinars educating you about the home selling or buying process.
·Real Estate Experts are committed
to your success:Experts don’t work for a commissions
check.They work for your success and
