Home selling advice

GsusFrk · 07-09-2007, 08:17 PM

we are getting ready to transfer from Charleston, SC to where ever the Navy sends us. This will be happening in December 07. But we are trying to sell our house now so we don't have to worry about it after the twins are born since we'll be really busy taking care of them. Does anyone have any experience selling a house? I would appreciate any tips or advice. It is being advertised on the web. Let me know if you think you'd be able to help by seeing the web advertisement.

Can you share the link with us?

Here are some things I know.

Make sure your kitchen countertops are almost bare because it makes it look like there is more of them.

Pack away all little knick knacks and extras because it makes the house feel small and cluttered.

If possible, paint all walls in shades of white because that too makes rooms appear bigger.

Use all the mirrors you can in rooms, another trick in making a room appear larger.

Keep all decor at a minimum no matter how pretty you may think it is.
The simpler the home appears, the better.
And good luck!
Bless you all,

alright, if you got to www.realtor.com type in 29456 for the zip code and click the "go" under "view on map", it is Showcase #7. If you guys know anyone moving to the Charleston, SC area Point them to our house

It's a great first time home owner, home.

It's a very cute house.
How long has it been on the market and have you had anyone at all interested yet?
I'll be praying for your situation!

On the market for about 2 weeks, we've had lots of people coming to see it but no one has made any offers yet. My wife is getting discouraged, she is almost ready to have the twins and then it'll be impossible for us to keep the house clean and get out whenever the realtors want to show the house. We would appreciate your prayers.
Thanks

Any news???

Sorry for the delay, it's been a little busy. We do have a serious buyer! They have settled for a price and we are waiting for an inspector then we'll be closing the deal.

Here is an awesome little testimony on it. We were wondering what we were going to do after we sold the house. I wasn't scheduled to leave (transfer out of Charleston, SC) until November time frame, but we wanted to have the house sold before the twins were born. We put the house on the market, and sold quickly (on the market about 2 weeks), which is a poor sellers market right now. We then started talking with the military base housing people and they told me I couldn't move in unless I was going to be in the area at least 4 months. Well guess what?! The people who are buying the house want us out July 31st. Which gives us August, September, October, November... exactly 4 months left in the Area. Oh yeah, and they have only one 5 bedroom house left open, which will be perfect for our huge family. We've set it up so we'll have the keys for our new house on the 25th. We are just waiting for the Home inspection, and praying that it goes well!!! Thanks for the tips and prayers Violet.

Isn't God good!?
