Joanne Curtin of Keller Williams Realty, Appraiser Scott Murphy of DS Murphy & Associates, and Jennifer Powers of Simply Staged discuss how to sell your home for the most money, least amount of time.

Listen to the 4-20-13 Show

The Curtin Team consists of 5 individuals from various backgrounds in the real estate market. Their vast experience spans well over 12 years. The great thing about this team is that they aren’t tied to selling in a specific area. Their approach to selling a home offers a personal touch. That’s because they don’t make any money unless a home is sold. So they are married to that seller, so to speak, up until the closing. Plus the sellers deal directly with Joanne herself. That’s how hands-on she is.

Scott Murphy & the Appraisal Process for Sellers

Joanne presented top appraiser Scott Murphy who spoke on the importance of the appraisal process for sellers. With over 16 years of experience, DS Murphy and Associates offers appraisal services on all levels. The housing market is seeing a rise when it comes to home sales. It’s a buyers’ and sellers’ market. If a homeowner wants to sell their home, then the best time to seek the services of an appraiser is at the time that they decide to list the property. This allows the appraiser to guide the seller from the very beginning. The appraisal process is confidential, so there’s no need to worry that the figure will be published. It’s strictly for the use of the seller. Sellers are looking for guidance in this often confusing market. That’s where the services of an appraiser come into play.

Jennifer Powers & Simply Staged

Joanne also spoke with Jennifer Powers of Simply Staged. Simply Staged assists real estate agents and their sellers in putting their best foot forward so that they can get the most for their home. Staging services in the Atlanta area include a room-by-room analysis of the home and how it can be staged for quick sale to a hands-on staging process. Jennifer brings over a decade of experience in residential interiors. This has helped her stage numerous homes, which have sold a lot quicker than an unstaged home. Staging can start as simply as removing personal pictures so that the buyer can picture themselves in the home to changing the dynamics of the home’s interior (staging) to present the best possible image when a potential buyer walks in. Staging is not interior design. Jennifer and the rest of the staff at Simply Staged are experts in the industry and have a proven track record in assisting sellers in getting their homes sold in record time.

Real Estate Radio Atlanta is bringing in the experts to assist buyers and sellers in getting what they want in a home. Knowledge when it comes to the real estate market is the key to success, but it’s often something that many lack. This show is designed with those buyers and sellers in mind.  Read more tips about selling your home here
