A large percentage of home buyers decide whether or not to look inside a house or take it seriously based on its curb appeal—the view they see when they drive by or arrive for a showing. You can help make sure they want to come inside your house by spending some time working on the its exterior appearance.
It's difficult to look at our own house in the same way that potential home buyers do, because when we become accustomed to the way something looks and functions, we can't see its faults. Decide right now to stop thinking of the property as a home. It's a house—a commodity you want to sell for the highest dollar possible.
Curb Appeal Exercise
The next time you come home, stop across the street or far enough down the driveway to get a good view of the house and its surroundings.
Park where a potential buyer would and walk towards the house, looking around you as if it were your first visit.
Is the approach clean and tidy? What could you do to make it more attractive?
Take photos of the home's exterior. If you have a digital camera, view the color versions first, then remove the color and look at it in black and white, because it's easier to see problems when color isn't around to affect our senses.
Please stay tuned for more information, thank you!

How to make 15% to 20% the simple way
Making 15% to 20% returns on your money is simple. And there are opportunities all around you if you will look for them, recognize them, and act on them. Every time you hear someone say that they need to buy something, but doesn't have the money, you should consider that a potential money making opportunity.The determination of the value of real estate is essential to the economic well being of society. Real estate appraisal is an estimate of the value of property using various methods. An appraisal is determined with one of three approaches, a cost approach, a comparison approach, or an income approach.
Appraisals are very detailed reports, but here are a few things they include:
1. Details about the subject property, along with side-by-side comparisons of three similar properties.
2. A description and evaluation of the overall real estate market in the area.
3. Statements about issues the appraiser feels are harmful to value or resale, such as poor access to the property.
4. Notations about seriously flawed characteristics, such as a crumbling foundation.
5. An estimate of the average sales time for the property.
6. What type of area the home is in (development, stand alone acreage, etc.).
Cost Approach
The cost approach is most useful for new properties, where the costs to build are known. The appraiser estimates how much it would cost to replace the structure if it were destroyed. Your personal approval is accomplished early in the loan process, but final loan commitment usually hinges on a satisfactory appraisal. The bank wants to be sure its investment is covered in case you default on the loan.
Sales Comparison Approach - The appraiser estimates a subject market value of property by comparing it to similar properties that have sold in the area. The properties used are called comparables.
Understand first of all that there IS a difference between price and value. Price is the amount you are asking for the property. Value is buyer perceived, and this perception of value is influenced by many factors such as location, features, condition, comparison to other purchase option, etc. By attending to details that can have a positive impact on the value, sellers can significantly increase their chance of attracting qualified buyers willing to pay the asking price.
Knowing the key reasons many home sellers elect to sell "as is," home buyers can benefit from such sales if they know how to protect themselves.
The best way for a buyer to protect against an unscrupulous seller who "forgot" to disclose a serious but known home defect is for the buyer to include a professional inspection contingency clause in the purchase offer.
Buyers of every house and condominium should include such an inspection clause making the purchase offer contingent on the buyer's approval of their professional home inspector's report. That means, after the home seller accepts the buyer's purchase offer, the buyer hires a professional inspector and then approves or disapproves their written report.
Home buyers should be wary of inspectors recommended by the real estate agent. Such an inspector might be known as "easy" and not a "deal killer." Ask such inspectors recommended by a realty agent about their experience, background and professional memberships.
An excellent credential is an experienced independent inspector who belongs to one of the professional home inspections organizations.

Buyers benefit most when staying in home long term
Given the recent negative press about the state of the residential real estate market, it's understandable that buyers would be reluctant to offer more than the asking price. Yet, some buyers are finding that a list-price offer is not enough. Multiple offers are making a comeback in some markets.
Some buyers in this situation would decide to wait to buy until there are more listings and fewer buyers. A downside of this approach is that waiting in a market that's short on inventory could mean paying a higher price later.
Although appreciation has been flat to negative in many areas of the country, there are pockets of the market -- like the starter-home markets in Oakland and Berkeley, Calif., and Brooklyn, N.Y. -- where there aren't enough homes for sale to satisfy the demand. This tends to put an upward pressure on prices.
HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Does it make sense to pay over the asking price in a market that could soften further? The answer depends on how much over asking you have to pay and how long you plan to own the property.
Some sellers are still pricing their homes low to stimulate buyer interest. In this case, paying over the asking price may not mean paying over market value. Check the sale price of the most recent comparable sales in the area to determine if paying over asking is too much. Your real estate agent can help you with this.
Even if a listing is fairly priced, paying more might make sense depending on your circumstances. If the house will serve your long-term needs and you're confident that you won't be moving for five or 10 years, paying an extra $10,000 is probably worth it. However, if your future is uncertain, it could be risky to pay more than the asking price.
A job transfer that forces you to sell in a soft market soon after buying, could leave you in a precarious position -- particularly if you financed the purchase with a mortgage for 100 percent of the price. Unless you have financial assistance from your employer, you might have to pull money out of savings to cover your selling costs. If the value of your home has declined you might not be able to sell for enough to pay back the mortgage.
Another factor to consider before offering more than the list price is whether the house will appraise for your offer price. Typically, a lender's mortgage commitment is conditioned on an appraisal of the property that substantiates that the buyer is not overpaying. Most lenders require that the appraisal report include three comparable listings from the neighborhood that sold within the past six months.
Due to the general slowdown in the housing market, some lenders are tightening up on their appraisal requirements. Recently, an appraiser who was appraising a property in Oakland's Upper Rockridge neighborhood was instructed by the lender to use comparable sales from the last three, not the last six, months.
THE CLOSING: To protect yourself, include an appraisal contingency in your purchase offer so that you won't risk losing your deposit should you back out of the contract because the property doesn't appraise for the purchase price.
