HOT SUMMER SELLING!

With summer in full swing, Tracy and I have been working hard to take advantage of the current hot market, creating highly successful marketing strategies for our sellers. Want to know how the market looks for the rest of the year? Call us today at 847.275.0277.

DESIGN TRENDS: Artful Living

CHANGING THE ARTWORK IN YOUR HOME can bring a fresh look and alter the entire mood of the space, according to Jenny Komenda, interior designer, artist, and founder of Juniper Print Shop. “The art on our walls tells a story about who we are, where we’ve been and what we value. These pieces can inspire or make us feel nostalgic, and even start great conversations with our guests.” Jenny goes a step further and wants her clients to feel a personal connection to their art. “The feeling our art [at Juniper] creates is just as important as how the piece looks in a home,” she says.

We love Juniper Print shop for a host of reasons: as a staging resource for our clients, it’s easy to find the perfect combination of the subject, size, and material; their artist collection includes work from over 40 independent female artists; and they have art to fit every budget! Most of all we love the passion Jenny has for her work—connecting with clients and helping them find joy in their home is something we can relate to. Check out the entire collection at juniperprintshop.com, and be sure to sign up for their emails to get 10% off your first order!

OUR SERVICES: The Power of Video P

ROPERTIES THAT ARE LISTED WITH A VIDEO receive 40% more clicks than those without, according to Zillow; listings with video receive 403% more inquiries than those without, according to the National Association of Realtors; and 70% of homebuyers watch video tours before buying a property, according to Google. So what does that all mean for our clients looking to sell?

These stats are all strong indicators that video can help to bring stand-out results for sellers in any market. That’s why the Burhop Group provides custom videos for every listing, and is committed to getting you the most visibility via the top online sites and through our own social media channels. Scan the QR codes below to view recent custom videos that led to great results for our clients including 2 record sales!

1010 E WAVERLY, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS

Due to tight timing, we completed a half-day “power staging,” filmed videos, and took twilight photography within days of being hired. We were on the market within a week and sold for a record price in the neighborhood.

2726 N DRYDEN PLACE, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS

Showcasing both indoor and outdoor lifestyle features enabled us to successfully negotiate a record price for both the model and the neighborhood—plus we received an appraisal at full contract value.

3136 N SCHOENBECK, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS

The seller of this extremely unique property came to us for our expertise and ability to reach a wide audience of potential buyers. Highlighting the key features through our video helped to maximize the sales price. n — S.B.
