Selling a home the right way is a lot of work but it will pay off putting more money in your pocket.  There are no shortcuts!  Here are the Top 4 Mistakes I see some sellers make that costs them big time.Wrong PriceThe first misstep is to price the home wrong. Either too high or too low. Getting the price “just right” means getting the most out of your home while at the same time not pricing it out of the market to the point where very few, if any, potential buyers reach out.  Overpricing a home is the number one mistake you can make.  This hurts you two ways.  It increases the days on market even if you are trying to sell it yourself.  The property gets stale in the market and start to smell like week old fish.  Buyers are more educated than ever before and have more available informat... 09/15/2018

Great question!  I'm glad you asked.  :)  The best way to answer that is to describe what is done and what the outcome of each service may provide.1.  Your refrigerant levels are tested and based on the type of refrigerant you have, refrigerant may be added or removed from the system to ensure it's operating at optimal efficiency.  This not only will extend the lifespan of your system but it may also significantly lower your electrical bills.  A system operating on too little refrigerant will run for much longer than it should and often times never turning off leading to motor and/or compressor failure eventually.  You might pay off the cost of servicing in just the first couple weeks of your AC usage.2.  Your outdoor coils are cleaned and your fins are straightened within reason.  Dirt... 05/03/2018
