Window Shopping is a Time-Honored Tradition

It may not seem like it right now, but spring is just around the corner! And, for those of you who are entertaining the idea of selling your property, it’s time to start thinking about what you need to do to get it ready for the market. Historically, spring and summer months are when real estate sales increase. So, don’t be left out in the cold—get your property in tip-top shape before the market “heats up”!

I like to use the analogy of window shopping when I talk with a Seller about preparing their property for the market. Some of New York City’s most famous and popular retail merchants spend a fortune on elaborate window displays during the Christmas season to draw shoppers into their department stores. Now, I’m not suggesting that you have to go to that extreme or expense to get a buyer into your property, but the concept is the same. You want to capture a buyer’s attention and make a great first impression. And, once a buyer is inside your front door, you want that great first impression to continue throughout their tour!

Good luck, and remember with Jo Ann Dossett as your Realtor, every path leads home!
