KAT Talks Homes

  So this week I'm trying something different. I'm starting off with a video I made a few months back (like February?) during an open house I did for another agent. Also, this post isn't directed at potential buyers or sellers, it's rather  information for other agents.  The popular trend at the time was doing the Italian hand gesture while talking about things that make sense in whatever area they happen to be talking about.

So what are some things that makes sense to have at an open house? Lets start with the most obvious. 1.) Signs! I need to let people know that I'm doing an open house!

Ok- so posting every day is definitely NOT realistic for me as I hoped it would be. SO - there's a chance it may happen twice a week.

I know there are some of you who are homeowners (like my husband and I) and there is a likelihood that you will at some point in your life, need to sell your home. Whether its because you need to upgrade, downsize, your job is moving locations, or you just need a total change, you will need to sell your home. So for this #tiptuesday, we'll be discussing some of the improvements you can do to the curb appeal of your home to get it ready to sell.           Have you ever looked at a house (in pictures or in real life) and been completely turned off before even walking into the house or seeing pictures of the interior? That happened to my mom and I when ...
