Sometimes a listing agent has to bite the bullet and help out with various items that a client’s mover will not carry.

I went to work on a QR Code to improve the appearance and to keep it scannable. I think the method will work quite well for real estate applications.

Buyers ask about Basements in Cary, and we have them. Most Cary home buyers end up without basements, however. Finished attics are more affordable and more common.

The large number of single digit Days on Market in Cary NC home sales indicates that homes will sell when properly prepared, properly presented, and properly priced!
Real Estate could be better, but it sure isn’t dead in Cary NC!
A good listing agent makes a huge difference. Buyers agents are working hard to find value for their buyers. Listing agents need to work just as hard to show the value in sellers properties!

"Dealbreakers" are items that buyers believe will either impact their lifestyle tremendously or make a property too difficult to resell at a later date.
Smart buyers tell their agents the things they wish to avoid.

2 car garage? 3 car garage? You won’t know until you try to park in it, or at least measure it. Many garages are too tight for two or 3 vehicles.
As a Buyers agent in Cary NC, I work hard to make sure my clients can use the garage as they intended.

Thousands of homes in the Cary NC area were built with polybutylene water supply lines. Some buyers agents panic over polybutylene and push their clients to over-react, but I don’t see it as a deal-breaker.
The buyer may be passing up a fine home needlessly. Buyers agent and the listing agent should know the cost of a replumb and be able to discuss it, even if the system has not shown evidence of problems.

Decluttered attics, garages, and storage areas help show the auxiliary spaces in a home better. Buyers notice. A good listing agent will look past the living area and recommend decluttering of the entire property.

If a Seller can afford to do so, replacing worn and stained carpet and repainting prior to listing are usually better showing strategies than offering allowances for Buyers to do that work after closing. Most Buyers just do not want the hassle.

Termite Control in Cary NC is a separate issue and a separate service from Pest Control. Spraying for spiders, roaches, and ants does not control termites. When listing a Cary Home for Sale, it is important that the Seller knows what services they have, and that the Listing agent can tell a Buyers Agent if the benefits are transferable to a new owner.
