"Easy as I feel is humanly possible"
"Dear Diane, As I sit and reflect on the move we recently completed, I wanted to share a few thoughts with you, as we close the book on our experience. First I wanted to thank you again for everything that you did to help us during the transition to our new home. You and your staff made this process about as easy as I feel is humanly possible, concerning the tight time frame we had to work with. During this time we were extremely concerned when we learned of your travel plans. We found ourselves in a situation where we had sold our existing home, and had no place to go. Your team member, Cindy, stepped in and took charge during your absence. She worked extremely hard for us, locating prospective homes, countless showings, (over 40 in 14 days) coordinating things with us. She took the initiative to do more than one showing on multiple properties just to accommodate our schedules. Her professionalism and persistence are really to be commended, she is a tremdous asset to your organization. In closing, please accept our thanks for a job well done. We will definitely recommend your services to anyone we talk to, that needs real estate assistance in the future!"

Pricing >Value Added Features A recent study conducted by the National Center for Real Estate Research evaluated the features of a home based on what each contributes to the selling price.
According to the study, the feature that can most dramatically increase the value of a home is an additional full bathroom, upping the selling price by a remarkable 24 percent. Installing an extra half-bath can add 15 percent to the selling price. A garage, a fireplace and a central air conditioning unit each add a little more than 12 percent to the home's market value. A laundry room located on the main floor of the home increases its value by 15 percent, while a basement laundry room can potentially reduce the home's overall value. Homes with raised or vaulted ceilings sell for 6.2 percent more than identical homes with standard ceilings. Each extra bedroom increases the price by 4.1 percent. A family room adds 7.3 percent, and a dining room is worth 6.2 percent. A view of the water adds 7.8 percent, but a golf course view is better at 8.1 percent. A home built on the waterfront is worth 18 percent more than the same home in a landlocked location.
Every real estate market is different, so consult your real estate agent regarding the resale value of your home's special features.
