SETTING THE PRICE CORRECTLY DOES IT REALLY MATTER   One of the most important elements in getting your  Texoma home sold in a timely fashion is pricing it correctly.   When you fail to do that, the wrong buyers are coming through your home. But when you set the correct price, you'll be attracting buyers who are looking for exactly the type of  Texoma home you're offering.   You may have seen online sites that place values on homes throughout your neighborhood. While some of these are very technologically sophisticated, they don't take into account the things that make your  Texoma home special ­– and more valuable: the beautiful landscaping, the new kitchen you've just installed, the bathroom you've updated, the incredible view, the loving care you've given it.   An experienced  RE/MAX ... 09/27/2014

Texoma Properties |  You've decided to Sell your Texoma Property   You've decided to sell your  Texoma Property, home, so what is next? Pricing your home is obviously a key part of the home selling process. A home that is under-priced needlessly costs the client potential return. An over-priced home can remain on the market for an extended amount of time, forcing the seller to either wait out a long listing period or have to adjust down the asking price. Getting the pricing right from the start avoids these potential pitfalls. To get us started I will prepare for you what is called a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of your  Texoma Property (house.) This compares your home to others in the area that are either currently listed, under contract, or have recently sold. Other things that c... 07/11/2014

"Knowledge is power."  Sir Francis Bacon     Do you know the #1 enemy of saws, drills, and power tools? Surprise! It's sawdust. Experts tell us that the stuff accumulates inside the motor and in the motor vents. So, what's the fix? You get your choice. You can vacuum the stuff from the housing and vents every month or so. Or, use your air compressor or canned air (available at an office supply store) to clean things up. This knowledge can help keep the power in your power tools! You know you're overdue for this maintenance when the tool you are using gets too hot to handle. If you get into a job that's over your head, call a professional. Please remember that selling your home and moving is not a do-it-yourself project. Visit my website for information on how to sell your home, current ... 07/01/2014
