There’s so much information on the web these days about how
to stage your home and create compelling curb appeal which you might think you know all you need to on the matter. Just when you thought you’d mastered the matter, there might be five more things that can get your home sold, some or all of which might never have occurred to you before . I have listed the first and over the next five days I will list all five.
1. Your neighbors. Most homeowners contemplating selling their homes
understand the importance of well-kept neighboring homes. Many times a buyer
has pulled up to an amazing house, viewed it, and left shaking their head with
woe because they just can’t get over buying the place due to the shoulder-high
weeds, car in the yard or crumbling ruins of the house next door. On the flip side, your neighbors themselves – not just the homes, but the people – can actually help sell your home. Many homeowners know people who want to live in their neck of the woods; this is one reason many seasoned Realtors hold open houses to neighbors and send out just
listed cards to neighbors announcing the listing – the neighbors might know
people who are interested in your home! Also, neighbors who are out and about
chatting with each other, laughing and playing with their kids, mowing their
lawns or painting their fences, or even who just offer a smile and helpful area
knowledge to the buyer-to-be they pass on the street can make a very favorable
impression on prospective buyers.

About Williamsburg Military Insider
As a military spouse of an active duty Air Force member for 20 years, I know first-hand the stresses that come with relocating and establishing roots in a new community. In fact, this is what drew me into the real estate business as a REALTOR®. My goal is to provide my clients with that constant support they can rely on as their needs change throughout their lives - to be their trusted resource, no matter where they live, when they have a real estate question. I have the distinct privilege of doing just that every day. It is such a thrill for me to work with Liz Moore & Associates this dynamic group of professionals dedicated to delivering exemplary customer service and building lasting relationships with clients.
While stationed with my family in the Unites States, I had the honor of serving in a variety of volunteer capacities, and have held many jobs across this nation of ours. I was actively involved with the YMCA Youth Sports, Parent Teacher Association and the Officer's Spouses Club. It was quite humbling to be recognized for my leadership efforts through the years; however, I feel that my true reward came from the connections I made with diverse groups of people. Making connections is what motivates me as a volunteer and as a real estate professional. Here in Williamsburg, I continue to be actively involved in various business and community organizations including the National Military Family Association, The Military Child Education Coalition, Defense Credit Union Council, Officer's Spouses Club, Williamsburg Youth Sports, and York County Youth Sports.
When not working with my clients, you can probably find me planning my next adventure to a new city or country. Each trip is a unique opportunity to experience a different culture and see another incredible part of the world. When I am here at home, you will most likely find me out enjoying some window shopping, running in events, cooking up new recipes, and working out at the YMCA. While I have many wonderful hobbies, my true passion is spending time with my family - my husband, Tony, who works in the Air Force, and our two children, Adriana, an active high school student at Bruton High School, and Chloe, a very active elementary school student at Magruder Elementary School.
