How We use the Latest Technology to Our Advantage

We have recently had great success using video and aerial video to market our listings. Today, we want to share with you our most recent video of our newest lake front listing at 547 S Cholla St in Gilbert, AZ.

Why are we choosing to use video? Well, the numbers don't lie. We know that 92% of buyers start their home search online. Another thing we know is that inquiries and traffic increase by over 400% when video is used. 

Video also helps increase the amount of time a consumer stays online and views a property by over 5 minutes. We are committed to continue to provide the best customer service and incorporate new technology in our marketing.

If you need any assistance, or have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Phoenix Real Estate Market Update for August 2014

 Welcome back, everybody. Thanks for joining us once again. Today we are going to talk about market statistics for the month of July 2014 as of August 14, 2014. The Phoenix market continues to be very dependable, showing subtle yet consistent signs of improvement. In the month of July, we had: 

• A 1% rise in the average median price, up to $197,000
• An increase in the average sales price, which is now up to $249,200
• 2 consecutive months in a row where we have seen the lowest number of new listings on the market in 14 years
• Interest rates remain very low, down near 4%

For a market that was not too long ago dominated by short sales, investor sales, and bank-owned properties, we are seeing a transition to a much more healthier and traditional market. If you have any questions about this changing market and what it means for you, please give us a call or send us an email. We would love to help you out.

Simple Steps to Boost Your Home's Curb Appeal

The summer months are finally here and many people are gearing up to sell their homes. We have been getting a lot of questions about curb appeal. Curb appeal is the way your home looks from the outside, or at the curb, when prospective buyers show up. This is their first impression of your home and it's important for it to be a good one. We have compiled a list of 10 simple fixes that will boost your curb appeal- for under $100.

1. Replace exterior light fixtures
 An easy way to give your front porch and entry way a new look is with new light fixtures. You can get these at any home improvement store for anywhere from $30-$100

2. Install some in-ground lighting
 Nothing brightens up your curb appeal like lighting near your walkway or flowerbed. 

3. Trim overgrowth and weeds
 This is an easy and cheap fix that will make your plants appear greener and more vibrant. It will also help keep your lawn healthy

4. Plant some flowers
 If you already have a garden, that is great. If not, this is an easy, inexpensive way to add some color to your curb appeal

5. Spread some fertilizer
 Another way to add color in your lawn and flowerbed, fertilizer will give your yard a more vibrant look

6. Fasten any loose trim or boards
 Take a walk around your property to check if you have any loose trim or boards. Simply refasten and paint to match if you find anything out of the ordinary

7. Paint your trim
 The trim around your roof line, windows, and front door gives your home color. Pick a color that contrasts the color of your house so that it will stand out among the paint that is already there.

8.Paint your front door
 This is your chance to be creative. Pick something vibrant that contrasts the other colors of your home. This is the first thing that buyers eyes will gravitate towards when looking at your home

9. Paint your front door
 Nothing says welcome home like a shiny, new door handle. These are very inexpensive and add a touch of class to your home.

10. Switch your address numbers out
 This is an inexpensive and easy way to make your home stand out. It is as simple as picking a style you like and applying them to your house to make it pop.

If you follow these 10 tips, you will have great curb appeal this summer and buyers will be itching to enter to see the rest of your beautiful home. If you have any questions about curb appeal or this market, which is currently advantageous for both buyers and sellers, give us a call!
