6 Selling Strategies For Your Fountain Hills Home!

2013 is shaping up to be a year of opportunity for Fountain Hills home sellers! If you are thinking of putting your home on the market, now is the time!

We have motivated buyers looking for Arizona homes all year around, and the winter months are an excellent time to sell!

In addition to the valuable selling tips I have on my website, I have a few home selling ideas for you here from AOL real estate. I've added thoughts from my own experience:

1. Instead of downplaying an unusual home feature, promote it towards a certain type of buyer. For example, if you have a two-bedroom home with a four-car garage, it could be perfect for a car enthusiast! Or, if you have a small second bedroom, it may be perfect for a nursery or home office. Decorate the room/area accordingly.

2. Include a perk in return for a full-price offer. Things like a golf membership, a home security service or home warranty can draw a lot of attention, and sweeten the deal for a buyer.

3. Accommodate showing appointment requests, even if it means some inconvenience. Being flexible can help you find the right buyer.

4. Beware of flashy marketing gimmicks that promise big-price offers. If your home cannot live up to its marketing when the buyers see it in person, the only one who "wins" is the advertising company.

5. De-personalize your home. It's hard to take down family photos, but since your goal is to sell and move on, you need to do this at some point anyway! Decorate sparse walls with tasteful, inexpensive artwork or photos of local scenery.

6. Do some home staging! You don't have to spend a bundle. A good technique is to pretend you are having a dinner party or other gathering. Display new guest towels and fancy soaps in the washrooms. Set the dining room table. Have a vase of fresh flowers on the table. Put out the little extras that say "welcome" to guests!

Looking for more home selling ideas? I would be happy to give you professional suggestions specific to your home! I will also tell you what improvements will pay off, so that you do not spend money needlessly. In the meantime, help yourself to my free e-book, "450 Ideas To Help Sell Your Home Faster!"

Getting top dollar for your Fountain Hills home also requires a comparative market analysis! I will be happy to evaluate your home's competitive strength in the Fountain Hills real estate market. There is no charge and no obligation!

Hi, my name is Tina Nabers. Selling Real Estate in Fountain Hills is not a job for me, it's a lifestyle. I relocated with my family from Tempe, Arizona in 1973 and began working in what is now the oldest real estate office in Fountain Hills (Nabers Realty) in 1977. I have literally grown up in Fountain Hills since it began.

I am a full time Realtor and believe ongoing education is key to staying on top of the dynamics of the real estate industry. Besides taking the required 24 hours of education every 2 years, I like to take additional real estate classes to further expand my awareness of the changes occurring yearly in this industry. I currently hold the designations of Accredited Buyer Representative, Graduate of the Realtor Institute and have my e-Pro designation which is the National Association of Realtors Technology Certification Program.

With my dedication, knowledge and reliability, I have assisted hundreds of Buyers, Sellers, and Investors realizing their dream of owning real estate in Fountain Hills. I'm sure I can help you too! I know the market and the market trends, after all, I've lived thru a couple of them myself over the years! THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE, WORK & PLAY. I know because I do!

Fountain Hills has been well known for its Fountain, its Great Fair, its Fountain Festival, its magnificent mountain views and very friendly people. Back in 1993 it was voted as one of the "50 Fabulous Places to Raise Your Family" and was featured on Oprah. After that review the community quickly became both a vacation Mecca as well as a place for permanent settlement. Accommodations from resort condos, bed & breakfasts and full service hotels have attracted vacationers as well as home hunters and investors. In the May, 2006 issue of the Phoenix Magazine's Annual "Best Places to Live" in the Valley, Fountain Hills was voted #1 out of 22 Valley communities!!

It was based on such issues as property tax rate, population, crime, school test scores and student-teacher ratios, park acreage and miles to Sky Harbor Airport, to name a few. When asked by visitors if Fountain Hills is a nice place to live we suggest they go to any local grocery or retail shop and at random, ask any shopper the same question. Obviously, residents will give the most objective answer and, as we can corroborate, we feel it is "one of the best places to raise a family", live, work and play.... Read more about Fountain Hills!
