Getting the Highest Price for Your Home
Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. I have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.
- Title insurance fees depend on the sales price of the home.
- Broker's commission is a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 5% to 7%.
- Local property transfer tax, country transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax are the charges that you'll pay for the privilege of selling your home. Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
- FHA fees and costs are all fees are now negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.
- Home inspections fees are in some circumstances paid for by the seller and include pest, radon and other inspections.
- Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.

Customized Marketing Action Plan
Selling your home is large task that if not managed to perfection can be a very stressful and burdensome event in your every day life.
My “Customized Marketing Action Plan” adopts an assertive approach to selling your home and reaches out to find that potential buyer as opposed to passively waiting for that buyer to come to you.
In addition to the basic marketing steps (i.e. For Sale Signs, Entering your Home into the Cincy MLS, Marketing Brochures, etc), I will custom tailor additional powerful and unique marketing tools that will give you a competitive advantage in selling your home.
I will utilize the latest technologies available including extensive Internet Marketing as a method to expose your home to hundreds of thousands of potential buyers, not only locally but also nationwide. Your home will be advertised on the #1 real estate site in the US: www.realtor.com along with numerous additional sites including www.Re/MAX-OH.com, www.Re/MAX.com, www.Craigslist.com, www.donnellyhometeam.com, local internet advertising sites and much more. Statistics according to the National Association of Realtors indicate 80% + of buyers start their buying process by “Searching the Web”.
For a more in depth and extensive marketing plan we will need to schedule a meeting to review in detail a customized action plan that will “Sell Your Home”.
