According to the National Association of Realtors®

Survey of Home Buyers and Sellers, 90% of all home buyers used the Internet to find a home in 2009. This figure has climbed steadily over the years and was a mere 47% in 2000.

The Internet has become the most important medium to find a buyer for your home.

The same survey shows that features most important to a home buyer are: a. Viewing multiple pictures of the property b. Rich detail of the home

We Highly Suggest A Residential Service Contract Offering a residential service contract on your home gives sellers several advantages: 1. It demonstrates the intent to sell your home in good working order. 2. It gives the buyer an avenue of restitution, other than you, should any coverage systems break down after purchase. 3. It puts your home on a more level playing field with new construction by making it appealing to prospective buyers. 4. Seller coverage is also available for you, enabling a more cost effective risk management strategy.

Give your home a competitive advantage. Our professionals will be happy to provide information on the service contract. It’s a simple and a really smart selling strategy.
