Should I Stay or Should I Go? HOW TO KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO SELL Part of being a homeowner is dealing with the intermittent thought, “Hmm, maybe I should put my house on the market . . .” Obviously, deciding to sell your home is no small decision. In fact, it’s right up there with deciding to buy a home in the first place. Before making an irrational decision, it’s important to consider several factors that could influence your choice on whether now is the best time to sell. Here are four indicators that can help you decide whether now actually may be a good time to list your home: YOU’RE OUT OF SPACE. While it might be nice to have more room for your shoes, does that warrant a new home? On the other hand, is there a baby on the way? An in-law moving in? If your household is getting ready to grow, it may be time to move on to a house that will accommodate your expanding needs. Make sure to think 10 years down the road when purchasing a bigger home.
YOU’RE IN A HOT MARKET. If “sold” signs are popping up frequently in your neighborhood and prices are rising quickly, it might be worth talking to your real estate agent. If now is the time you can potentially make a big return on your investment, you might want to consider making a move. If nothing else, you can add to your savings with the money made by the sale. YOU’RE SICK OF YARD WORK. If raking leaves and restaining your deck are no longer considered fun projects, you may be at a stage where you’re looking to scale down to a more streamlined, less work-intensive living situation. Consider townhomes with an HOA that includes yard work and upkeep as a part of dues. YOUR LIFE HAS CHANGED. If you’ve had a major life event - marriage, separation, new job, retirement - it may necessitate a new home and/or a new location that makes more sense for your new life. Consider whether your current home is still the right fit. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2017. All rights reserved.

10 TIPS for MAKING AN OPEN HOUSE WORK By Barbara Pronin With 92 percent of buyers using the Internet in their home search,* the value of open houses has been debated among today’s real estate professionals. It’s a full day’s work that includes marketing, preparing materials, placing and removing signs, and assessing the interest of neighbors, strangers, serious buyers, and lookie-loos with nothing else to do. However, the benefits are clear - it does put your face and expertise in front of people you might not otherwise meet. For savvy agents everywhere, the key to success is in orchestrating an open house that works. Here are ten tips that may help:
1. PLAN AHEAD Listing on the MLS early in the week gives you time to plan a well-attended open house.
2. INVEST A SUNDAY Absent a listing of your own to show, offer to host an open house for a colleague. It’s always a good a way to meet prospects.
3. SPREAD THE WORD Promote it as widely as possible, using all available real estate and social media sites. Email your contacts and area real estate offices.
4. INVITE THE NEIGHBORS They’re a great source of referrals. With a new listing, one top agent we know knocks on doors in surrounding streets, leaving as many as 2,500 open house notices.
18TREB004_Issue35_FullSize.indd 5
5. MAXIMIZE SIGNAGE Cover an area well beyond the immediate, placing a generous amount of open house signs in surrounding areas, including nearby new home construction sites.
6. TAKE A BUDDY For safety’s sake and to help interact with guests, take another agent, a trainee or two.
7. KEEP SIGN-IN OPTIONAL Offer a sign-in book, but be sensitive to those who avoid it. Introduce yourself, and invite questions, but don’t hover.
9. KNOW THE INVENTORY Be prepared to discuss competing listings in the vicinity as well as recent sales and price statistics. Your sensitivity and local market knowledge are the surest way to win clients.
10. STAY IN TOUCH Leads won’t pay off unless you pursue them. Check back with the neighbor who ‘might know someone,’ make all the callbacks you promised, and offer feedback and suggestions to the homeowner.
8. RESPECT THE COMPETITION Try to ascertain whether guests are working with another agent. If they are, respect the relationship.
