Timing is extremely important in the real estate market. Property attracts the most excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed; therefore, it has the highest chance of a sale when it is new on the market.
KEYS TO SUCCESS
LOCATION…
Location is the single greatest factor affecting value.
Neighborhood desirability is fundamental to a property’s fair market value
COMPETITION…
Buyers compare your property against competing properties.
Buyers interpret value based on available properties.
TIMING…
The real estate market may reflect a seller’s market or a buyer’s market.
Market conditions cannot be manipulated; an individually tailored marketing plan must be developed accordingly.
CONDITION…
Property condition affects price and speed of sale.
Optimizing physical appearances and advance preparation for marketing maximizes value.
TERMS…
The more flexible the financing, the broader the market, the quicker the sale, and the higher the price.
Terms structured to meet your objectives are important to successful marketing.
PRICE…
If the property is not properly priced, a sale may be delayed or even prevented.

Moving Checklist:
- Give your forwarding address to the post office, usually two to four weeks ahead of the move.
- Notify your credit card companies, magazine subscriptions, and bank of the change of address.
- Develop a list of friends, relatives, and business colleagues who need to be notified of the move.
- Arrange to have utilities disconnected at your old home and connected at your new one.
- Cancel the newspaper.
- Check insurance coverage for moved items. Usually movers only cover what they pack.
- Clean out appliances and prepare them for moving, if applicable.
- Note the weight of the goods you’ll have moved, since long-distance moves are usually billed according to weight. Watch for movers that use excessive padding to add weight.
- Check with your condo or co-op about restrictions on using the elevator or particular exits.
- Have a “first open” box with the things you’ll need most—toilet paper, soap, trash bags, scissors, hammer, screwdriver, pencils and paper, cups and plates, water, snacks, and toothpaste.
Plus, if you’re moving out of town:
- Get copies of medical and dental records and prescriptions for your family and your pets.
- Get copies of children’s school records for transfer.
- Ask friends for introductions to anyone they know in your new neighborhood.
- Consider special car needs for pets when traveling.
- Let a friend or relative know your route.
- Carry traveler’s checks or an ATM card for ready cash until you can open a bank account.
- Empty your safety deposit box.
- Put plants in boxes with holes for air circulation if you’re moving in cold weather.
