About Omaha

Omaha is the largest city in the state of Nebraska. It is the county seat of Douglas County, and as of the 2000 census, had a population of 390,007. Omaha's population rose to 427,872 according to the 2006 census estimate, which also includes an extra population count of approximately 8,300 people from the annexation of the smaller city of Elkhorn in 2005. Located on the eastern edge of Nebraska, it is on the Missouri River, about 20 miles north of the mouth of the Platte River.

How To Make Your House Show Like One

One of the major factors in getting your house to sell quickly is simply put; make it attractive.

Most buyers select their home based on emotion and then justify the decision with facts, so it's important to make the house inviting and pleasant.

Yours is not the only property the prospective buyer will see. You are competing with model homes, homes that have been professionally decorated and homes that have no children, not pets and Mr. and Mrs. Perfection as owners.

Start with the outside

Are shrubs overgrown? Oil in the driveway? How does the grass look? Do the flower beds need weeding and mulching? Try very hard to see your grounds through an independent observer's eyes. Trim the shrubs or plant new ones if they are lacking. Houses with no landscaping in the front lose thousands of dollars of value in the mind of the buyer. Adding a few well-placed blooming flowers also adds appeal.

Effective marketing begins with the photos. After all, that's what prospective buyers see that draws them into an ad for your home.

Dear Home Buyer,

Buying a home can be grueling process without an experienced Realtor®. My job is to take the burden off of you so that it can be the exciting moment in your life that it's supposed to be.

It should be fun to shop for a new home. I'm here to do the hard work for you so you can focus on getting the home of your dreams.

I'll save you time

Don't spin your wheels wasting your valuable time on a fruitless real estate search. When you tell me what you want, I'll scour the market for properties that fit your criteria. No more endless hours driving around areas you don't know, finding homes you aren't interested in.

Believe it or not, not all sellers are motivated to sell their property. There are a number of reasons for a seller's reluctance to part with their home. Some sellers have unrealistic price expectation, and no pressing desire to close a deal. In these cases, it is often best to avoid these kinds of sellers, because just as a seller needs to trust that you will carry out your agreement to close in good faith, you have to have the same confidence in the seller.

There a lot of tips and tricks in staging your home to potential buyers for a fast sale. Don't make the mistake of thinking of your real estate transaction as a purely financial decision. It's much more than that. You need to give your home an emotional appeal when presenting it to home buyers as well. This is called home staging, and I can take a look at your home to give you customized advice to get it to sell faster.

Tips on home staging

Many buyers don't realize how important it is not to make major credit purchases right before buying a home. Any monthly payments you are making for those credit obligations will decrease the size of loan you qualify for by a ratio of about 100:1. That's a big chunk of home buying power you're throwing out the window!

There are things you can do that will keep your home from selling in a timely manner. I suggest avoiding them! A good real estate agent won't let your home languish on the market, because the job of a real estate agent is to sell houses. When a house sits too long on the local MLS, buyers and agents alike start wondering what's wrong with the home (or its sellers). You don't want that!
