Kevin Sutton, GRI, CDPE 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!

Remodeling and Renovations >Damp Environments
If you are a typical home buyer, you are likely to eliminate a home with a basement that has water stains or mildew on the walls or floors. Before you completely rule out a home that you really like because of a water issue, you should get an expert's opinion.
A basement can often be dried out easily. A new set of gutters, repairs to a plugged up outdoor drain, or simple regrading of soil around the foundation may solve the problem. A home inspector or water-proofing company can give you an idea about what is causing the dampness, as well as how much you will have to pay to waterproof the area. Sometimes the home owner will consider negotiating the repair costs with the buyers, especially if the alternative is no offer at all. If the house is a "fixer-upper" and priced accordingly, you could get an excellent value that more timid buyers might pass up.
