Kevin Sutton, GRI REALTOR Kevin@YourHappyHome.com
One of the key steps in building a successful relationship in our industry is the ability to prove your capability in executing the transaction in an ethical manner. I have worked within the real estate marketplace since 1994 buying homes, remodeling them and selling. This background has provided me a unique ability in identifying problem areas, as well as determining values of homes. As the Listing Specialist I take the approach of “what we can do to capitalize on your investment”. From staging your home inside and out, to what improvements may add the value desired to capture the price that our sellers are after. We excel in marketing as we use technology as a key tool. We tailor our marketing strategy to meet the market place and the client. We look forward to working with you!

When a home goes on the market, it should look great. Often there are improvements that must be made before a house is ready to show well. When you are preparing to list your home, it is strongly recommended that you go through each room with a critical eye.
What are you looking for? Start with the ceiling, and look for any cracks or water stains, then inspect the condition of the paint and wallpaper. Make sure that the windows are clean and window treatments are attractive. All of the closets and storage spaces should be neat and organized (a cluttered closet looks smaller!). If the rooms seem crowded with too much furniture, you can create a more spacious look by storing your "overflow".
A well-maintained house tends to sell much more quickly than one where buyers must use a lot of imagination to see it in a positive light. The condition of your house will help to determine the selling price. The better the house looks, the better your chances of selling it at the best price. A real estate agent can help you by recommending the repairs and cleaning that will increase your home's marketability.
