Ruth E.
Velas Solutions for Selling your Property
Presidio Group Realtors is an
exclusive full service real estate firm providing
exceptional one-on-one service to buyers and
sellers.
My service recognizes that both buyers and sellers
that need me require my attention and not of a
team or of a franchise who treats clients as
another number in their sales. Most of my clients
are clients for life, I strive to maintain a
relationship with my clients, through marriages,
children graduations and marriages, I work to keep
my clients as my friends.
I am selective in the clientele I work with. In
order to provide a level of service I can be proud
of, I work with my clients to help them in their
needs whether it is relocating or trading up. I
commit on a number of levels to provide exceptional
service, and the sellers I work with to have a
marketable property at a fair price.
I try to be creative in my national and local
marketing. Every property that I sell is an
individual property that is marketed separately,
because no two properties are the same. I try to
target a specific audience for each property and
seek uncluttered marketing tools so that each of our
special properties stand out the way they ought to.
From signs to postcards, even the mailers go out to
people outside the neighborhoods, chances are it is
going to be someone that lives within a 20 miles
radius so I focus on the particular market the home
will attract, again on a one-on-one basis.
To discuss a
potential selling partnership by phone with no
commitment or obligation please call 512-476-1591.

Hints to get your home ready to sell

The
condition of your home's exterior is most
important when it comes to buyer appeal.
Clean or touch up the trim paint on doors,
window frames, fascia, etc.
If your lawn shows no signs of life, a
little fertilizer and some water will do
wonders for its color. Mow and edge the lawn
frequently until the home is sold. Put some
colorful plants around the front of the home
and the back patio.
Overgrown shrubbery should be cut back to
show as much of the exterior as possible.
Get rid of any clutter around the front
porch.
Replace missing shutters, gutters, and
downspouts and remove any debris.
Inspect the roof for necessary repairs and
any visible broken shingles or tiles.
Cracks in the driveway and sidewalks can
be easily repaired with ready-mix cement.
Also a nice stain helps to brighten up the
driveway. For excessive stains, there are
easy-to-use cleaning agents at your home
repair store.
Make sure the front door hardware is
working well.
Fences should be mended, power washed and
painted.
If the street sweeper does not come every
week, make sure the area in front of your
curb and driveway are clear of debris. Wash
it down with the hose and broom.
Wash all windows inside and outside.
All of these suggestions may also apply to
your back yard or child's play area. |

Clean your
home from top to bottom.
Put all valuables in a safe place.
Repair any cracks or holes in walls and
touch-up paint where there are visible
marks.
Doors should be cleaned and touched-up as
well. All torn screens should be repaired or
replaced. Take down all exterior window
screens to let in as much light as possible,
just stack them in the garage to let buyers
know the screens are there just not on the
windows.
Avoid repainting the entire house unless
current colors are very loud or offbeat.
White or light pastels are the best for
potential buyers.The light colors make rooms
look larger.
Have carpeting and draperies cleaned. If
carpet is still looking worn, talk to me
about a carpet company that can come in and
replace before closing and not get paid
until closing.
Carpeting should be vacuumed throughout
the house the day your home is being shown.
If you have a fireplace, make sure all
tile is in good condition, the screen is in
good shape, and the hearth is clean.
Lubricate squeaking doors, windows, and
cabinets.
Put deodorizers in each room and closet.
Neutral smells are best
Pre-pack items, which may clutter your
home and make rooms appear smaller.
