"JIM EVERHART was our selling agent for the last four homes we owned in Maryland. A true professional, he represented us honestly and conscientiously in every transaction." "JIM personally devoted time and money promoting the sale of our home --- sitting Open House, advertising in real estate magazines and local newspapers, purchasing additional directional and for sale signs and balloons, etc. In addition, he kept us advised regarding the local real estate market so that we could make informed decisions as far a pricing". "During the ten years we worked with JIM, the market changed from seller-friendly to buyer friendly. Nevertheless, he continued to diligently represent us". "We thank him for all his expertise and patience". Carolyn and Walt Woods St. George, Utah

Home Inspections >If It Is Broken Fix It
Most houses have a few "little" problems, like leaking faucets, a stove burner that won't light, or electrical outlets with too much "spark". These defects may not seem very important--unless your house is about to go on the market.
We rarely have difficulty getting sellers to agree to paint, replace worn carpets or plant a few flowers in the front yard. These kinds of repairs obviously increase the overall appeal of the property. However, if any of the major systems in your home need maintenance, it is also prudent to have the necessary repairs made. Have your furnace, central air-conditioning system, plumbing and wiring checked as part of your pre-marketing efforts. The best rule is--if it's broken, fix it!
The purchase agreement requires that a house be conveyed with all the systems in working order, and most buyers will bring in a home inspector to identify any potential problems. During the period of time between the "meeting of the minds" and the removal of the inspection contingencies, the buyers are the most vulnerable to an attack of buyer's remorse. This is also the time when anything that hasn't been repaired could become a major issue.
