Making genuine connections inspires me every day, and I pride myself on building and maintaining relationships with my clients and a network of fellow agents. I know how stressful a move can be and how essential it is to find a realtor who can give you the inside track in a new location, whether it be a cross-country or only a local move.”

Here are Cindy’s tips for buyers and sellers:

Tips for Buyers

“Be prepared before you hit the ground. Everyone knows that we are in a fast-moving real estate market. You really do not want to fall in love with your dream home before you are ready to submit your offer! So, get your team in place first. Hire your real estate agent and have your buyer’s agency agreement signed. Next, have a heart-to-heart with your lender about what you qualify for AND what you actually want to spend every month. Finally, have your ‘prequal’ letter in your hand. Then hit the streets searching for your home. Believe me when I say that if you do not do these steps first, there is a real chance the house you fall in love with will be under contract before getting your offer submitted!

Tips for Sellers

Staging is your friend. In real estate, the pretty house wins! No matter what type of market we are in, the appearance of a house directly impacts the amount of time it takes to sell. And the price for which it sells. The reality is home buyers often don’t have an imagination when searching for a house. Even if the updates a house needs are simple and inexpensive, they can keep a home for selling for top dollar! So what’s the answer? Staging! Stagers are magicians! They can place furniture in a room so there is no confusion about what the space should be used for. Not to mention they can make your home look like a model home. And guess what that means to your sales price?!?”
