Erica Fair - United Real Estate Strive 212

Selling your home is a big decision and requires some careful consideration and planning.  Here are some areas to think about when preparing to make the decision to sell your home.  How soon do I want to sell my property? Statistics show the narrower the gap between the asking price and my estimate of value, the sooner an offer will come in. How does my home compare to others in the area? As a real estate professional, I have access to details about current listed and sold properties through the Multiple Listing Service. You will be able to see how much competition there is and what effect market conditions have had in your area. You can then determine your price by analyzing homes comparable to yours in age, size, condition and location. What are buyers willing to offer? Buyers are interested in your home’s comparable worth, not what you might need to get out of the property. The buyer’s perception of the value of your home will not be altered by the c...

One of the great challenges to selling a home can be showing all of its space, decor and natural light potential. For example, every home has crowded closets and dead space. Sellers should be aware that areas such as these are easy to spruce-up with a little elbow grease and old-fashioned innovation. Begin by evaluating your closet/storage space, determine which areas can cut-down in clutter. Go through old clothes, shoes, etc., and get rid of anything that will not be used and in turn create more space.  Consider organizing shelves and other areas to make better use of your storage space, including your garage and basement. Also, try to throw out or give away any old furniture that is no longer of use. All of the discarded items can be given to Good Will, Salvation Army or even sold at a yard sale. Although most sellers keep their homes clean and well-decorated, it can be difficult to convince a buyer of a home's potential when clutter is noticeable. As an agent, it'...

How to price your home is one of the most important issues you will face.   Pricing will determine, among other things, how quickly your home sells, how attractive your home will be to buyers, and how you will reach your financial goals. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as your property’s being located in a high-risk, undesirable or unusual area, the listing price of your home will set the tone for your entire transaction. That’s why my expertise and knowledge of your local marketplace is so helpful. I gather statistics that quantify the prices of comparable homes in your neighborhood that have sold, that have not sold, that are pending, and that currently are on the market. I compare aspects of those homes against the unique features of yours. I analyze market conditions, the availability of mortgage funds, neighborhood reputation and characteristics, among other considerations, to create a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). The CMA provides object...

Please check out the video !  Come see this custom solid brick rancher with so much to offer! The property sits on just shy of a half-acre and affords lots of privacy. Sitting on your back deck you can hear the Tulpehocken Creek, and enjoy the shaded backyard from the mature trees on the property.  Family exercise and entertainment is made easy with a quick stroll to Gring's Mill to enjoy the walking trails and picnicking.  The home's upstairs features 3 good sized bedrooms and a full bath. An area off the kitchen is perfect for a formal dining room or an additional living area with sliders opening onto a custom deck. The kitchen features cherry cabinets and the living room's focal point is a brick fireplace.  The downstairs has a daylight walkout area featuring an additional 1,100 square feet of finished space offering endless options. The size is substantial enough for an in-law suite and includes a vaulted ceiling large room which was once a library. T...

Thank you M.H. for taking the time to review your experience working with me. I really appreciate it! “I hired Erica Fair to help me find a home for my next stage in life (downsizing in our 50's). After spending about 2 years searching for the right property, Erica helped us get a down payment on our dream home and had sold our existing home - all within a 2 to 3 month period.  She actually sold our existing home in 1 day! We had scheduled walk-through visits within minutes of posting the home for sale and 3 offers that first day. And no small part of this feat was the amazing marketing Erica did for the home. Erica is on top of every detail, attentive to the specific needs of each buyer and seller, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure her customers are happy. We can't say enough. Home buying and selling can be a stressful time for any family, so if you want someone to truly help you do the heavy lifting - call Erica!” – M.H.
