Southern Real Estate Group

Southern Indiana is a unique and diverse area.
Each community has its own character.
Each neighborhood appeals to a different buyer.
To obtain the highest possible sales price for your home, the marketing must reach the right buyers with the right message.
We have the network and experience to do this.
The old adage, "You can't judge a book by its cover" is passe today.
This is a fast-paced, image-oriented society in which we live.
First impressions really do count!
Every piece of information on your property, whether it be a brochure, the wording in the Multiple Listing Service, a presence on the Internet, or a well-placed advertisement, must show your home in the best possible light.

Pricing your home is both an art and a science.
Achieving the optimal price is the result of both objective research into comparable properties and a gut feeling about your property and the current market.
The simple fact is, price is the number one factor that most homebuyers use to determine which homes they want to view.
And it's important to remember that, although the price is set by you, the value of the home is determined by the buyer.
Try to avoid allowing your enthusiasm to impact your better judgment - overpricing is a common mistake that can cost you in the end.

Repair loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers, broken light switches and other minor flaws.
Remove all unnecessary clutter from your attic, basement and closets to better display spacious rooms (consider storage or a garage sale to dispose of extraneous items).
Be creative and arrange lamps to help smaller rooms seem larger, and large rooms seem more intimate.
Use lighting to highlight the "living areas" of your home, such as a pair of chairs near a fireplace, or a table in a breakfast area.

The answer is: "Only the ones that future buyers will also want and be willing to pay for."
As a general rule, choosing the functional over the merely cosmetic and choosing neutral over unusual or exotic will pay at resale.
Taste and current trends can also affect the value of an update.
Unusual colors have a limited appeal.
Updates that increase usable space (an extra bathroom, larger and/or upgraded kitchen, master bedroom suite, more closet space, conversion of unused space to a home office).

Finding and purchasing a home that will meet your needs is a significant and often stressful time.
Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible.
We are experts in the area, and once we learn what it is that you're looking for, finding your dream home is simple.
Have you determined your price range or consulted a lender to determine the best price range?.
