    These 79 Ideas and Suggestions will Help You Improve Your Sale Price by $1000 TO $5000 - These are ways to help you sell Your Home (some are Quick Easy Fix Ups) Faster and for Top Dollar!

    SETTING THE "STAGE" these are some preliminary thoughts...

    You will profit by using some ideas compiled in the list below. Beyond the obvious considerations of location, size, present condition and design of your home, buyers look for special qualities that appeal to their emotions.

    It is your job to prepare the groundwork, to "set the stage" for a buyer to fall in love with your home. Think of what has made your home so special to you and try to highlight these features. Although no home is perfect, you must try to become aware of its shortcomings. Once you do, you have the opportunity to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negatives by making your home more visually appealing.

    For example: a long dark hall will appear shorter if wall papered in vertical pastel stripes; or by hanging a few pictures on the walls and installing inexpensive lights above them, you will stop the buyer's eyes along the way. The monotonous tunnel effect will be immediately eliminated!

    Selling your home, though rarely a "fun" experience, can be a painless and profitable one if both you and your agent put in the effort. It is this cooperative venture that will meet your goal of selling your home fast, with the least amount of inconvenience and at the best price and terms for you.

    How to Create a Favicon for Your Web Site
    Ever see those little custom icons next to a web site listing in your favorites folder or on your browser address bar? Have you ever wondered how to create one for your own site? Well I'm going to teach you in this article.The icons are called "favicons", a contraction of the phrase "favorite icons". To see an example, go to www.searchenginecollege.com and bookmark the site (or add to your "favorites" list). Now close your browser window and open a new one. Click on your bookmarked sites or favorites list and find the site you just bookmarked. See the tiny mortarboard graphic next to the listing? That's a favicon. It makes the site stand out from all the others in your favorites list. If you click on that site, the favicon will even load next to the URL in your browser address bar from now on.Cool huh? Like to create a favicon for your own site? It's easier than you think. Here's what you do:1) Choose an image or symbol that you would like to use to represent your web site. This could be a tiny version of your logo, a graphic or perhaps a stylized version of your company initials. A famous example of this is the "Y!" favicon used by Yahoo! A favicon is meant to reflect the look and feel of a web site or a company logo. Remember it needs to be simp

    Advantages & Disadvantages of At-the-money Option, In-the-money Option and Out-of-the-money Option
    An at-the-money option has both advantages and disadvantages over stock and in-the-money options. First, the at-the-money option will be cheaper then both the stock and the in-the-money option. So there is less capital requirement and less total risk.Remember, when buying an option, you can only lose what you spend. The problem is the amount of extrinsic in the at-the-money option.In order for you to profit from buying an at-the-money option, you need the stock to make a move very quickly. Because you have so much extrinsic value, you will be battling against the option’s daily rate of decay.So, the movement of the stock must happen quickly enough and large enough to offset the amount of money you will be losing daily as expiration draws near.With this said, the best chance you have to make money when buying a naked at-the-money option is to use it as a short term trade. The longer you hold onto this option, the harder it is for you to be profitable due to the options decaying extrinsic value.At The Money Call vs. In The Money CallFor chart below, stock price = $35.00 Strike Price Option Price Delta Breakeven Extrinsic Value $30 5.20 85 35.20 $.20 $35 *

    65. Air out your home an hour before showings- smell better, wide open windows on a nice day with a gentle breeze ruffling your curtains.

    66. Set your thermostat at a comfortable temperature -this is not the time to economize.

    67. Light a fire in the fireplace to set the mood.

    68. Turn on lights in each room- brightens up your home.

    69. Put pets out and send children to play at the neighbours (if possible).

    70. Keep out of sight when your home is being shown- buyers feel uncomfortable when you're around. The benefit is they can more easily imagine the house as their own when you're not around.

    71. Never volunteer information (you won't be there if you follow the previous tip). Resist the urge to tell them how great it is to have a bus stop out front for your children, as you may learn later that the prospective buyers have no children, work the evening shift and love to sleep in late in the morning.

    72. Don't be compelled to apologize for what you may see as one of your home's weaknesses, you may be moving because of the traffic noise of that newly built highway, yet the buyer may be moving in your area because of the very proximity of the highway for quick commuting. Let the salesperson do the job of selling.

    OTHER IDEAS AND CONSIDERATIONS

    73. Draw up a floor plan if you don't have one- it's a visual selling tool and they'll remember your home much better after they leave.

    74. Some purchasers want to know what your heating, electricity, water and sewer costs are per month and also sometimes want to see warranties on appliances. Have this information available if asked.

    75. Tell everyone you meet that your home is for sale- why keep it a secret, word of mouth is a strong selling aid.

    76. Remain optimistic, it's easy to get discouraged after your home has been shown ten or twelve times, but you've done everything to make your home more salable, so don't take it personally. Keep in touch with me, I'll be continually updating you as to market activity. Remember someone is going to walk through your front door and fall head over heels in love with your home. After all, you did.

    77. Don't be afraid to accept your first offer. If you've priced your home right, we may get an offer in the first week that is very close to the asking price. Don't panic and think your home is under priced, it means that the prospective buyers appreciate your home and want it badly.

    78. Don't forget that every buyer wants to feel that he has got a "deal"- that is one reason you built bargaining leeway into your price in the first place.

    79. Don't be afraid to call me any time with what may seem to be the smallest of questions. That's what I'm here for, to service you and get your home sold in the quickest time, with the least amount of inconvenience, and at the best price and terms for you.

    If you follow most of the items in this list you will be sure to receive thousands of dollars more when you sell your home.
