How to get your OFFER ACCEPTED in today's market.
How does a seller pick the highest and best offer? So many people are talking about an overwhelming amount of showings when a house gets listed. And then the seller is asking for "highest and best". What does that even mean
Is there a difference between HIGHEST and BEST? Actually there is... You could have one or the other or BOTH.
If you're wondering how to get your OFFER ACCEPTED in today's climate, let me help you out.
FIRST AND FOREMOST You need a great REALTOR who knows how to compete in a multiple offer situation. After that... it's as easy as 1-2-3
1* You absolutely MUST have your pre-approval or proof of funds BEFORE you start your home search. You will need to submit this with your offer. And you don't want to s...

Waiting for MULTIPLE OFFERS might not be the best strategy...
I see a lot of new listings in the MLS that maybe go in on Friday and say something like "Please submit all offers by 5pm on Monday". This was a great strategy maybe back in November. However, now that more and more houses are coming on the market, that might not be the best idea.
First of all, most buyers are under time constraints. They are looking at a house today because they most likely NEED to buy a house today. If they see it today and submit a GOOD offer today, you might want to negotiate with them or accept their offer.
Some buyers don't want to get into a bidding war. I've had buyers ask me to schedule showings and when I tell them the seller isn't reviewing offers for 3 days, 5 days, sometimes a week...

My Feature Article in Real Producer Magazine | March 2021
In October of 2020 I was contacted to be a featured REALTOR in Akron/Canton Real Producers Magazine. It's an honor to be featured in the magazine because they feature top producing agents and it's not paid advertising.
This magazine is sent to all real estate agents in the Akron/Canton market. It's a way for other agents to get to know you and your back story. The advertisers in the magazine are those affiliated with the real estate industry (lenders, title agencies, contractors, photographers).
This was such a fun experience because it makes you dig down deep and analyze who you are and how you got here. I was intervi...

How I Started My Whole House Purge
2020 was surely the year to get things done. Many people had extra time on their hands and were spending more time at home so they turned to household projects. My household project was purging my home. Like almost MINIMALIST purging.
I started in my garage attic. I pulled down the attic steps and all by myself I went up and down the steps bringing down every item in the attic.We had sleds, beach toys, boogie boards, shelves, tents, outside Christmas decorations, car roof top boxes, car ski racks, car bike racks, extra wood... all kinds of stuff. After I got all the stuff down from the attic I took a broom up there and swept up all the debris. There was a lot of debris because we had a new roof put on several years ago and all the hammering brought down a lot of debris that just was left there. I filled an entire 5 gallon bucket with just debris from the attic. Then I took the shop vac up there and vacuummed all that was left. Once it was en...
