When selling your home in the winter, the art of staging the inside becomes more important.  Here are five simple tips that can help you sell your home shine even when the outside landscaping has faded:

• Keep your house warm.  In the winter people tend to turn the thermostat down to save money, however a warmer house is more welcoming to a potential buyer.
• Clear your walkways and driveways of any snow or ice.  Make it easy for buyers to get to your home.
• Clean the windows and blinds.  Letting in the natural light can brighten up a room and cheer up the home.  This also brings attention to the windows and blinds so make sure they are clean even during winter.  Dirty windows will make the home seem as those it's not well maintained.
• Background music played softly can completely change the atmosphere making the home seem cozy and keep potential buyers around longer.  Stick with classical music which can appeal to anyone.
• Leave the light on.  Before showing a home, make sure it's well lit.  A well lit home is more inviting.  If you're not home, consider setting up timers.

Following these simple tips can give your house that added boost in today's competitive market. For information on selling in our local market, please feel free to call and ask for a computer analysis of our recent market activity. We would be more than happy answer any questions you might have!

An e-mail gets sent asking for feeback, and....nothing!  A phone call gets made, again, asking for any input on the home you took the time on a Sunday to peruse, and....nothing!  It is the most frustrating of moments to have nothing to tell this desperate homeowner who felt like the world would change for them in 10 minutes on this Sunday!

Feedback is, to so many I speak to in the industry, an obnoxious waste of time.  So many say, if their clients had any interest in the home they would have made contact!!!

REALLY???

To me, feedback is a way, as REALTORS, to support each other in every market - good or bad!  Sometimes it is a way to get constructive criticism to our clients in a non offensive way!  A way to once again say "We need to lower the price", a way to finally get rid of that neon pink room - and other times to pat our client on the back and say, "Your house was wonderful, just not what they are looking for".  Feedback is not only our link to our clients, but also our link to each other! 

  So, we don't work for the same Team or the same company... so why should you help me?  You can go it all alone in this world, But I can promise you it is a lot less productive and a lot less interesting!!!  I am here to tell you all, big and small, United We Stand, Divided We Fall:)   

And for myslef I will say - responsible or Slack, I have your feedback!!!!

In December I learned that a dear friend of mine who had been fighting cancer was at the end of the line.  He was admitted to Hospice Care in Durham.  His wife contacted me to inform that he was nearing the end.  I planned to go and visit him on Saturday, but life interrupted and I did not make the trip. I rescheduled it for the following Wednesday.  I called the night before to tell the wife I would be up the following morning only to find out that Ken had passed just a few hours prior to my call.  I was devastated.  I was devastated at the loss of one of the most pure souls I’ve ever known.  I was selfishly devastated by the fact that I did not get to say goodbye.  I made a promise that I would not procrastinate on matters of such importance ever again. 

Obviously a blog isn’t life or death,  but as the old saying goes, “Never put of til tomorrow what you can do today, because tomorrow your friend might be dead.”  That is not the old adage, but that’s if for me.  Morbid, yes.  Depressing, certainly.  But Ken would laugh at that quote, as would his wife.  Incidentally, after the tears and heartbreak during that phone call with his lovely wife I said, “Well I was calling to say I’ll see you in the morning…but I guess not”.  We laughed…because we could not cry anymore.  Live, love, and laugh DAMMIT!

 Thank goodness for 2010. Out with the old and in with the new right? But in the big picture 2009 real estate in New Hanover County wasn’t all that bad, certainly not as bad as the general perception of the market. In fact, the median price for 2009 residential homes sold in New Hanover County was only down a mere 3% from 2008. However, the number of properties sold per month in 2009 was up 1%. So all in all I think we are fairing pretty well.

And it looks like 2010 is starting off with a bang. There are some great homes for sale in Wilmington, NC and its surrounding areas and the public is taking notice! I’m pleased to report that I have, as recently as 1/21/2010, put two (2) investment properties under contract. One is a triplex and the other is a townhouse. This is a great sign that perhaps the investors are regaining some confidence in the local market and starting to pick up some the great values that are to be had in the epic buyer’s market.

Another positive sign is the government has extended the $8000 first time buyer tax credit to April 30, 2010. They even added a provision that expands the tax credit to “move up” buyers. These buyers are eligible to receive a $6500 tax credit if they are under contract by April 30, 2010 and close by June 30, 2010.

Interest rates are still at record low rates. 4.75% can still be had, so if you are on the fence about buying your new home, GET OFF! All indications are rates will start to climb as the housing recovery continues to gain momentum.

So wow. What else? Oh yeah. If you haven’t met Barbara Kornegay, she is my new partner in business. Barbara has been a broker for 5 years and is a Wilmington native. She is awesome. Barbara joined the team back in November and has been an absolute god send. Why do you think I’m blogging? It was Barb that made me do it! Check out Barb on my website  www.EdHomeSeller.com .

Let’s hope 2010 is a phenomenal year full of joy, success, and all things happy. HA! Wouldn’t that be great? Of course there will be bumps along the way, but take the bumps as they come and keep moving forward, because as my favorite Italian driver from the 1980’s comedy classic “Cannonball Run” would say, “What’s behind us is not important”.

"By now, we all know about the severe devastation caused by the earthquakes in Haiti. NAR is helping answer the calls for help in two key ways.

First, we are contributing $550,000 to charities that will help bring much-needed supplies and care to the people of Haiti. Included in that sum is $100,000 donated by our REALTOR Benefits® Program partner, Lowe’s®, which we have matched at $100,000. From that we will donate $50,000 to The Harvest of Haiti, founded by REALTOR® Patrick Moore, a 2007 Good Neighbor Award winner. Patrick has done great work for several years in Haiti supporting orphans, delivering clean water and providing medical care for more than 3,500 people a year.

http://www.realtor.org/press_room/news_releases/2010/01/donate_haiti

We are also contributing $500,000 to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, which is supporting earthquake recovery efforts with immediate relief and long-term support to earthquake survivors. For up-to-the-minute information about these efforts, visit NAR's Haiti relief page on REALTOR.org.

Second, I have asked NAR to accept donations from REALTORS® through the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. Please consider giving today. To make a donation, go to www. realtor.org/relief, and complete the contribution form.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”

REALTORS® have earned a reputation for our compassionate work on behalf of others – both here in the United State and around the world. I hope you will join our latest efforts and bring that same compassion and hope to people who desperately need it."
