“I have used Paul and Jan in purchasing my home and two income properties. Each of the transactions went quite smoothly in large part because of the Willis’ expertise, professionalism, and through their knowledge of the market. In addition, all three of the purchases have worked out extremely well. Most recently, Jan, as my buyer agent, was able to help me structure my offer so it was the winner in a multiple offer situation. After accepting my offer, the seller subsequently received back up offers from other buyers for many thousands more than my offer. Needless to say, I got a terrific property at an excellent price. I think that much of the success of the Willises is attributable to their high degree of integrity in the real estate community and their excellent relationships with other brokers.”

Cosmetic Improvements >Brighter is Better
Sometimes a real estate agent will walk into a home that is basically attractive, yet communicates the feeling that something is lacking. Then the agent notices that all of the drapes are closed, interior lights are off and there is a lot of overgrown shrubbery blocking the sunlight that might otherwise pour through the windows.
A dark house is not as appealing to most buyers as one that is flooded with light. As a part of your preparations to market your home, try to maximize the light in your home. Make sure that all the windows are clean and the drapes are open when the house is being shown. A fresh coat of light paint can do a lot to brighten up the interior. If your house has very dark paneling, and you do not wish to repaint the walls, you may want to consider adding additional lamps. Your real estate agent may be able to provide other simple and cost-effective ideas about how to maximize your home's appeal.
