Around Lake Keowee we are experiencing some of the best weather of the year. Cool mornings and crisp evenings with perfect days in the mid to high 70’s. This is what you see in the dictionary next to the word idyllic. Obviously, we love this time of year, it’s just good for the soul. As we always say, long falls and long springs make life just a bit easier.
Fantastic week last week as we were able to close $8M in Lake Keowee waterfront homes. That’s putting the pedal to the metal. We’re so proud that our sellers and buyers put their faith in us to get the job done for them (and have been for over 35 years). Getting paid for what you do is great and necessary, but the satisfaction of making folks happy is even better.
Have we not made you happy yet? Let us fix that! List your Lake Keowee property with us. Since we closed those Lake Keowee waterfront properties last week we are, again, low on inventory and only you guys can help! Contact us, let us give you the skinny on value, time on market, what needs to be done, etc.!
You can help us do more of what we do. List your Lake Keowee real estate with us (and our 36 years of experience – 70 years combined). We’ll help lessen the blow of leaving ownership on Lake Keowee behind by making sure your pockets are full!
How to Sell Your Home for the Highest Price Possible
Here’s how to avoid mistakes that could cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, when you sell your home.
Even during the best economic times, hundreds of homeowners still throw money away because of poorly made decisions during the sales of their homes.
This information is designed to give you the tools you need to protect your most important investment when it’s time to sell. Before you put your house on the market, follow this informative guide to reap the maximum rewards possible.
Here’s a complete checklist of things you can do to improve your home’s salability:
Avoid Problems Before They Happen
Choose your closing attorney carefully.
Consider their fees, recommendations from others who’ve used them, location (since you’ll most likely have to go to their office to sign the final papers), and size (a large staff doesn’t always mean a better company, but it may mean quick and efficient service).
Determine before you sign a listing or sales agreement whether it contains clauses or wording requiring you to use a certain escrow company.
While the closing attorney is never “on your side,” you want to make sure that person isn’t on someone else’s side either.
Make sure your buyer has been approved for financing ahead of time. Otherwise delays in the loan-approval process can extend your closing.
Investigate whether your property may be subject to any liens which may impede title transfer.
Particularly if you have owned your home for a long time, there may be liens attached from the past that you weren’t aware of.
Make sure all necessary inspections are completed by qualified inspectors.
