This article is a step-by-step "How To" for anyone looking for advice and tips on how to sell their home or property. Tip #1: Hire A Local Real Estate Agent Be sure to vet your prospective real estate agent. Make sure that they know and service your neighborhood. Having a real estate agent who knows exactly what your property is worth is the best way to be sure that you are getting top-dollar for your home sale. Tip #2: De-Clutter Your House Before You Show It Prior to listing and showing your home in an open house, be sure to walk around your home and put away any and all clutter. Remove and hide anything and everything on your kitchen counters and island (if you have one). I the bathrooms, put away all shampoo and conditioner bottles. And clean the shower glass. Make your home look as spotless and decluttered as possible. Tip #3: Hire A Professional Photographer Since a bulk of the interest in your house being for sale comes from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) or other real estate sites on the internet... having superb photos of your property is essential. Be sure to discuss with your real estate agent just who is going to be the one to pay for those photos too. Tip #4: Pricing Your Home To Sell Fast If you are interested in a quick sale, here is my best tip for pricing your house just right. Be sure to obtain a list of "comps" or comparable properties in your neighborhood. From those "comps" you can easily come up with the fair market value for your home. Once you have that comparable number, shave off 10% - 15% and THAT will be your listing price. By shaving 10% - 15% off... you will be turning folks away at your first open house. And who knows, you'll probably make up that shaved off percentage once your property gets multiple offers. Good luck!

Connect with us on all of your accounts to find out how you can help others who are dealing with the pressures of having to move. Let's face it, we are living in stressful times right now. Everyone needs to remember that we're all on this big blue marble together. We are all going through much of the same conditions and even some of the same experiences. For some though, the past few months have been down right devastating. And now you have to move? Wow! Talk about anxiety, right? According to both Market Watch and the National Association of Realtors, right now the sale of homes in the United States are on the rise. Even YOU may be contemplating a relocation of your own. But let's try to de-stress the event for you a little bit by considering the following. The average person moves approximately 12 times in their lifetime. At age 18, a person can expect to move another 9 times in their remaining life. And at the age of 45, you can still expect another 3 moves before you pass away. That's a lot of moves! I myself, have move 19 times total so far in my lifetime. When I think about it... I think, "That's nuts!" So, what's my point? My point is, that no matter what the road block is that is now forcing you to move, you having to relocate was bound to happen sooner or later. Statistics say so! So, don't sweat it! Like the old children's Christmas song says, "Just put one foot in front of the other... and soon you'll be walking across the floor." Dealing with obstacles requires you to meet them head-on and take small steps every day in order to work through the obstacle. While growing up outside of Cleveland, OH, my father used to life-coach us by saying, "It's not what happens to you in life... it's how you deal with it." And boy, he was right. How does that mind-set help you today? Hopefully by giving you the tools you need to tackle your upcoming move with less trepidation, and hopefully less anxiety. Sure, moving is a big deal. It ranks right up there on the stress meter with dying and public speaking. But tackling your problem head-on will empower you to be confident and to persevere in everything you do.

Follow Us On Social Media Summer never lasts long enough... especially for school-aged children. But the time has come to get back to school again. This year is going to be even more of a challenge for school children, especially in states that are still on lockdown due to Covid-19. As a matter of fact, children in some states may not be heading back to their traditional brick-and-mortar class rooms at all. Many children will have to continue their studies at home. Regardless of whether your children are going back to a physical building or studying their lessons at home, these bright minds are our country's most precious resource. And their health and well-being are one of our top priorities here at the Moving Families Foundation™. So, how can we help? Well, if you and your children are moving, whether it's across town, across country or around the world, we are here to assist your entire family via a one-stop process. Help from the Moving Families Foundation is for anyone and everyone that is going through a move. How? First of all, we acknowledge that not all students are going to able to participate in their normal extracurricular activities due to continued fears over Covid-19. However, there will come a time when your child will be able to safely return to their activity, and if they do so after a move, we will be there to help in the form of extracurricular activity scholarships. One of our aims at the Moving Families Foundation is that after a move, we want to get every child who qualifies, back into the extracurricular activity of their choice... and the Foundation will cover the cost of their participation fees via the Moving Families Extracurricular Activities Scholarship Plan. We feel that extracurricular activities helps a child to better acclimate back into their new community. It helps a child to meet other children of similar age and interests. Another one of our aims at the Moving Families Foundation is to provide high school students access to high quality education opportunities during periods of transition and change in their lives. Every child who is going through a move during their high school years is eligible for one of our college scholarships. Yep, it's that simple. The qualification process actually begins the moment a child has completed the eighth grade. So, if you and your family are considering a move, there are a number of ways to benefit from what we have to offer. Get the process started right now by going to MovingFamiliesFoundation.org (or click the green "Get Started" button below). Complete the application and one of our trusted real estate advisors will contact you to assist you with all of your relocation needs. In the meantime, have a safe and pleasant 20-21 school year.
