Recycle and Renew Hope

I am sure you have heard the word "Green" recently! And here is a great way to do your part!
Please consider recycling your gently used clothing, furniture and household items to Home of the Sparrow thrift stores. I have been volunteering for Friends of Home of the Sparrow for over 13 years and needless to say the need to help women and children in our area has not diminished.
So the next time you reach into your closet and say .."I don't have a thing to wear and you run out to your favorite haberdashery...choose a few items you could donate..they will even pick up furniture! Also, you can donate your time! HOS can always use your help at the stores!

How to sell a house quickly!

I just listed a great home in the Village of Barrington and we received and accepted an offer after 5 days on the market! How did that happen you ask? Here are a few tips...

4 things sellers need to know...Price,Terms,Condition and Location. Every single one of these items need to be taken into consideration if you want your property to sell. Remember this----PRICE fixes everything! When the buyer perceives there is value (because of the price)..they will quickly buy the home!
The other variables can affect the price.
Terms: Owner financing is a great carrot to dangle! Buy down mortgage!
Condition: Always fix what needs to be fixed! Stage the property! Start packing!
Location: It is the only variable that cannot be changed! A bad location is a bad location..so price it right and it must be picture perfect inside!
Ok folks, like I always say.."This is not brain surgery!"
Buying a home is an emotional response to what "feels" right. Key into those emotions and your home will sell quickly!
