It's been a whirlwind few weeks for our sellers of this Silver Spring, MD home for sale. It feels like that we just hauled our staging furniture into the home, just to remove it all again a little while later (catch a glimpse behind the scenes here). From Just Listed to Just Sold in 30 days. We put the home on the market just as the market was noticeably slowing down. Seemingly overnight, homes aren't all selling on the first weekend anymore, buyer competition has become (much) less, and we are seeing more price adjustments in Silver Spring, MD, and beyond. It's likely temporary - when rates finally trend downwards, things are poised to shift again. But, I digress. Regardless of market conditions, when a home is in the best showing condition, priced in the right ballpark, and marketed w... 06/29/2024

Getting a house ready for the market is an exciting process. It's such a rewarding moment when you see it all come together. After weeks and months of working with our sellers and collaborating with contractors (when needed), we finally get to staging day. An even better moment is when we hear our clients say Is that my house? I am not sure I still want to move! after seeing the professional pictures and virtual tour. Catch a glimpse behind the scenes when we staged this just remodeled 4-level split home in the Tamarack Triangle of Silver Spring, MD. Most often we will work with our sellers, utilizing their furniture, editing their belongings and rearranging to create a better or more coherent flow, and bringing in accessories to add a few touches where needed. In this case, we had a bl... 06/24/2024

(Dedicated) buyer's agents do A LOT more than just open a few doors. In this series, I'll highlight a few tales from the Real Estate trenches to emphasize just that. The value of a buyer's agent: protecting the client's best interestTouring potential homes, researching property history and its neighborhood, assessing the condition, pulling the comps, "opening all the doors", discussing offer strategies, reviewing the seller disclosures and offer documents, working with the lender, writing the offer, and negotiating the best terms is just the first part that leads to a successful settlement. Sometimes this process is rather quick, often it takes months, and occasionally, the second part of the home-buying journey, the road from contract to settlement is a bumpy one that takes time, skill... 02/03/2024
