Steps For Selling

On November 10, 2011   /   Valuable Information   /   Leave a comment

Here are four simple steps to get you started on the process of selling your home.

1. Call us. Typically you will want to get in touch with us 1-3 months before you want to list your home. We will provide you with a price opinion of what your home might sell for and an estimate of what your “net” proceeds would be at closing after all customer seller expenses, closing costs, real estate commissions and loan balances are paid. We can also consult with you and give you specific recommendations on what needs to be done to prepare your home for a timely sale to help you realize the highest price and net to you.

Best Places

On November 9, 2011   /   Area Profiles   /   Leave a comment

We all know that Utah is great, what with the skiing, breathtaking views, friendly people, etc. But we all might be being kind of biased, since we live here. I thought it would be interesting to see what the world thinks of different cities in Utah. There are dozens of lists out there for “best places to live for singles” “best places to raise a family” etc. For this list though, I checked out CNN Money’s “Best Places to Live” list. Here is what I found:

Routine Maintanence

On November 8, 2011   /   Home Owner Tips   /   Leave a comment

Oh baby, it’s cold outside! The really unfortunate thing though is that for the past week or so it has been far colder inside of our house. We decided to kick on the furnace last week as the temperatures were dropping. I heard the clicks, smelt that “first run of the season” furnace smell, and heard the heater kick on. Then I went to bed. I can’t remember what I started out dreaming, but eventually my dreams turned to things like ice cream, eventually followed by sledding and snow angels, but then my dream turned in to a nightmare of being stranded in a blizzard and slowly freezing to death. I woke up with a shiver. And then I couldn’t stop shivering. It was FREEZING in our house. I went and checked the thermostat, the little red line was down as low as it cold go, though I had set it for 68dgs.

Death and Taxes

On October 13, 2011   /   Finance & Money   /   Leave a comment

I’ve mentioned before that my first home purchase was in Texas. You may not know this, but if you switch the e and the a around…it spells Taxes. The property tax in Austin for a $200,000 home per year is about $3,300 while a similarly priced home in Salt Lake City would have property taxes of approximately $1,400. That’s a pretty significant difference! I don’t say that to elicit sympathy for my tax bill (well…maybe I do), but instead to say that we don’t have it so bad in Utah.

Haunted House for Sale!

On October 12, 2011   /   Uncategorized   /   Leave a comment

Being scared out of your ever-loving mind. It’s not really a feeling I enjoy. Heck, yesterday I took the family to a corn maze that wasn’t even haunted and I still screamed like a school girl about twelve times. All I had to do was turn a corner and see another human being, even cute little toddlers and it would send me in to a fit of shrieking. Yeah, my kids thought it was hil-ar-i-ous. So, feeling like I am perpetually in a haunted house isn’t really on the top of my to-do list, but I understand that it could appeal to some people.

We’ve made it through summer which can often be the hardest time of year to sell a home. Fall sure came quickly this year, didn’t it? Seems like we even got a little blast of winter there for a few days. Luckily it is warming up and hopefully the duration of October will be the warm, breezy, cozy fall weather most of us love.
