I think more than often, agents and homeowners think they need to do more than they have to to prep a home for sale.I'm not here to say these are the only 3 tips but many people like to overcomplicate things.That really isn't needed. Depersonalize, get rid of sports teams stuff, and clear up surfaces.  Sure you need to declutter too.Simple and effective. Don't overcomplicate it. Do these things and reap the benefits. Blair BallinYour North Phoenix Realtor4802336433blairballin.com 07/08/2024

Living North Phoenix, the online Community I created about 5 years ago just launched Senior Smiles; an initiative to bring smiles to the Senior Community here in North Phoenix. We just had our first event at Park Terrace and it was extremely memorable. It was a foam party, and it did not disappoint. From the ones who rode their scooters through the foam, some even with their dog to the others (all ages) that wanted to have fun dancing, playing, jumping through the foam--it was a blast---a foam blast. I want to thank Park Terrace for letting us be there, Graham Rogers of Arizona Foam Fun, and Erin Robinette of Nexa Mortgage. We can't wait until the next one and we can't wait to continue bringing smiles to our Seniors. If you know of or own a senior community, reach out.
