THE REAL ESTATE MARKET – WANT TO BUY FORECLOSURES IN CASHIERS, HIGHLANDS, GLENVILLE, SAPPHIRE OR LAKE TOXAWAY, NC?

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Some people are daunted by the current real estate market.  Do you invest now or wait and see what’s going to happen?  One way to know you’re buying the very best possible deal on a home in Highlands, Cashiers, Glenville, Sapphire  and Lake Toxaway is to buy a foreclosure property.  Foreclosure properties are well-known for being as good a deal as anyone can get anywhere.  Generally, foreclosures ARE the best possible home purchase to make.  When considering a foreclosure home to purchase, remember that the home is probably going to have to have some repairs made, and there will be some appliances that will need to be purchased.  If spending $25,000 to repair and replace, does it make financial sense to purchase a foreclosed property?  In many cases, it does.  In SOME cases, it doesn’t.  Point being, when considering a foreclosure, bear in mind what might have to be spent…do your due diligence before closing!  Have a home inspection.  Get a contractor’s opinion.  Price appliances.  If you can get a good deal on a home and not go through the repair/replace process, that could be the answer.  Talk candidly to your Realtor.  See what’s out there in your price range, foreclosure or not.  If you decide that a foreclosure property is right for you, your Realtor can guide you safely through the process.  Make sure to look carefully at what you’ll need to do in order to make that purchase.  You’ll need to have proof of funds or a current pre-qualification letter from a lender.  Earnest Money deposits will need to be certified funds.  The process can take a while, so be patient.  You may be asked to come up with forms or other paperwork you don’t normally have to provide in a “normal” transaction.  Please listen to the experts. 

 

In the end, your purchase will be something everyone hopes you’ll be proud of!  I can help you navigate those waters and land on shore with ease.  I hope if you’re considering any kind of Cashiers Home, Highlands Home, Glenville Home, Sapphire Home or Lake Toxaway Home purchase, you’ll call on me.  I have the experience, tenacity and patience to get through the process with relatively little inconvenience to you, the Buyer.  I have some foreclosures listed that may be of interest to you!  Let me know how I can help you.

Top Ranked Cashiers Homes and Land, Highlands Homes for sale, Lake Toxaway Homes Website

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Merry Soellner’s www.cashiersncland.com website recently earned the title of Google’s

Top Ranking Real Estate Website for Sapphire NC homes and land, Glenville home for sale, Franklin NC real estate, Brevard NC land, Cashiers NC homes for sale, Highlands NC homes and land, Lake Toxaway real estate

This ranking changes up and down daily.  The most solid spot seems to be Cashiers Homes and Land.  Merry Soellner was delighted to see her efforts paying off for her providing responsive, professional and friendly real estate services to a growing clientele from all over the United States and the World.  The coveted title of top real estate broker for the Cashiers, Highlands, Brevard, Lake Toxaway, Glenville, Franklin and Sapphire areas changes daily.  Even so, Merry was pleased to see that the number of votes (or clicks) obtained from her clients and new visitors to her informative website seem to be stimulating her real estate business.

Merry Soellner recently received a major vote of confidence from her fellow realtors, having been elected to a 3-year term as a new in-coming Director for the Cashiers-Highlands Board of Realtors.  Merry Soellner has the distinction of being a member of the Brevard-Asheville Board of Realtors as well, something in which few realtors in the Cashiers-Highlands-Lake Toxaway participate.

When asked why Merry seemed to be enjoying such high rankings, she said that her website traffic has increased dramatically, due to her increased showings of homes and land in the Cashiers real estate, Highlands real estate and Lake Toxaway real estate markets.  She also has continued to conduct exhaustive previews for new clients for Glenville homes for sale, Sapphire homes for sale and Franklin homes for sale.  “I think the fact that I really work hard, previewing as many as 20 homes in just 2 days, makes sure that I hit the mark assigned to me by my clients is part of it,” Merry said.

Merry can offer the following properties: Cashiers homes for sale, Lake Toxaway Estates homes for sale, Bald Rock, Burlingame, Catatoga, Pine Forest, Spring Forest, Highlands, Stillpoint, Trillium, and dozens of other locations.  She also is a member of the Brevard and Asheville real estate board, giving her the ability to provide access to her clients to that entire section of western North Carolina.

Why Should I Spend Money on Home Staging for my Cashiers Home or Lake Toxaway Home?

You only get a chance to make a first impression one time, right?  In this challenging real estate market, you BETTER be ready when the buyers are!  A Home Staging expert can come in to your home and give you advice on how to present your very best to the buyers.  Many suggestions will cost nothing!  It can be as simple as cleaning out your closets or garage and sweeping your front porch.  Sometimes it can get a little more complicated, such as rearranging furniture, painting or professionally cleaning carpeting.  If you’ve lived in a house for many years, the chances are that there will be a lot to do in order to get ready for the buyers when they come, even if you’re a person who takes really good care of your real estate investment.

 

Cashiers homes for sale can benefit from Home Staging (so can Highlands Homes for Sale and Lake Toxaway Homes for Sale) 

Please be as objective as possible, when your home staging expert comes.  They have YOUR best interest at heart.  They aren’t there to criticize you or your home.  They’re there to help you put your very best foot forward for the speedy sale of your home!

National Association of Realtors statistics show that a staged home sells for more money and quicker than one that hasn’t been staged.  Imagine what that means in terms of today’s real estate market, no matter WHERE you live! 

Many real estate agents today are now also certified home staging specialists, like me!  What that could mean to you, the home seller, is free staging advice when you list your home.  You may want to ask the real estate agent whether he/she does home staging and make your decision on whether to list your home with that real estate agent or not. 

Don’t let your home sit idly by in this real estate market with no prospects.  Put your best foot forward.  Engage a home staging specialist, or hire a real estate agent that is also a staging expert.  Do it for yourself, your family and a quick sale that means more money at closing.
