We Buy Houses!

If the terms of the new Home Buyer Tax Credit made your ears perk up, maybe this is the time you should think of moving.  You can sell your home and assuming you have lived there as your primary residence for the past five of the last eight years, claim a $6,500 tax credit when you buy a new home.

You know, though, that preparing your home for sale will be a challenge.  The house needs a face lift to make it appealing to buyers.  To get the place looking as good as you’d like in time to get it on the market, sell it, and find yourself the replacement home you want will just take too much time. What do you do?

Maybe you inherited a home that would give you a chance to be a homeowner but it just isn’t what you want.  Even if you fixed it up, it is still too far from your job or maybe the schools aren’t what you want for your children.  You could list and sell the place on your own, but that’s seems like a lot of aggravation.  What do you do?

When you’ve been out looking at houses, you have found your new, perfect home.  The problem is, the house is so fine and in such a good location that other competing buyers are coming to the same conclusion.  The Realtor® mentions that there are other interested buyers so you have to move fast.  Maybe your existing home hasn’t sold yet or maybe you fear having enough cash up front to make your move on the new home you want.  The Bank of Mom and Dad is closed for big withdrawals and you need the cash quickly. What do you do?

You’ve just been transferred or maybe you’ve been offered a great job out of state.  You may want to buy in the new location, but in any case, you need to go!  Selling your home long distance is not want you have in mind. What do you do?

You may be in circumstances where buying another home is the last thing you want to do right now.  You know that your home is very salable but you’re on the verge of foreclosure, you’ve lost your job, you’re at the midst of a divorce, and you want or need to move on quickly.  What do you do?

Where Did All This Stuff Come From…?

Whether or not you’re planning to sell your house any time soon, it never hurts to get things in order.  Even the tidiest homeowners are amazed by how quickly houses can become inundated by the clutter and items they accumulate.
Here are some easy tips toward consistently maintaining order and balance in your home, and ensuring that come sale time you don’t find yourself waging the war against disorder for the first time.

You Need Discipline and a Game Plan

• Instead of dabbling and making gradual improvements here and there throughout the home, focus your efforts on one room at a time.  Don’t move onto another room until the task at hand has been thoroughly completed.
• Force yourself to stay disciplined, and adopt the “in and out” approach.  For every new item you add to a room, remove an older one.
• If you have kids, make the cleaning process fun for them (yes, it is possible).  Whether it’s by giving them incentives to keep their rooms tidy and their personal belongings out of public spaces, or showing them how rewarding the result can be give them a tangible reason(reward, privilege, bribe)  to observe these rules even when they haven’t been reminded to.
• Have a vision of what the room SHOULD look like before you tackle it.
• Use hangers to sort the clothes you wear the most from the ones you break out only on special occasions.  Needless to say, garments that are out of season should be kept separately (a sealed, moth-proof rack for your hangers can be a crucial investment for your basement/attic space).
• When considering whether or not to retire an item, force yourself to decide whether you really, REALLY need it.  If you have a hard time deciding, you know what to do.
• Treat your kitchen as a sacred area: the real estate that includes your stove, sink, refrigerator and countertops should be occupied by useful items only.

When it comes time to sell your house fast, you will be more than rewarded for the work you have done on the front end. Of course, if you do decide to sell your house in the Maryland, Washington DC or Virginia area, give us a call. We can help.
