HENDRICKS COUNTY HOMES FOR SALE: Avon, Indiana real estate sales leader, Chris Castetter writes:  Chris, should we replace our carpet and flooring in our property before we show it to prospective buyers?  My answer is always a resounding YES!  Today's buyers most important commodity is their time.  Very few are looking for a place to live where they will have to take the time and money to replace flooring.  In general, most prospective buyers have a very difficult time visualizing how the space is going to "someday" look with new carpet or fresh paint.  Many are "visual" people and need to see the finished product. Since starting in real estate in Hendricks County in 1994, I have seen it time and again.  A home will sell much faster (& generally for more money) if you paint and carpet a... 03/07/2008

Over the past 13 years while selling homes in Hendrick Counrty Indiana, many homeowner's ask, "should we have an open house?"  You may ask ten different real estate professionals and get ten different opinions...The truth is that less that 1% of all home sales across the country are a direct result of an open house effort.  This statistic is gathered from The National Association of Realtors. (NAR)Open houses are great for realtors to network with neighbors and potentional buyers to drive their business, but chances are slim that your property will sell simply by someone dropping by on a random Sunday afternoon.Other market places across the country might have higher odds, but as a whole, open houses are not the key.  To find out what is the key to selling your home in a challenging rea... 02/17/2008

Home Seller's preparing to sell.... Avon, Plainfield, Indiana-  Studies have shown that most buyers make a decision about a house within 15 seconds of walking in the door.  Many other buyers make a decision without ever getting out of their car.  The message here is that first impressions are very, very important when selling.  EXTERIOR CHECK LIST:The feeling that people get about the house from the street is called "curb appeal" and there are many staging tips to improve it.  1.  Eliminate any and all yard clutter; excess lawn ornaments, weeds, trim overgrown bushes and trees.  "Fresh  mulch and flowers are always a plus!"2.  Caulking and a fresh coat of paint goes a long way to making a house look good.  Be careful not to pick too strong of a color.  The idea is to appeal to the great... 02/14/2008
