Should you hide any and all evidence of furry family members when listing your Silver Spring, MD home for sale? Selling you home takes a lot of preparation, more so when you are a pet owner. It's best to remove all evidence, deep clean, deodorize, eliminate any evidence of puppy training and accidents, and repair visible damage. It's also a good idea to take down puppy gates. Nobody wants to climb over them or figure out the locking mechanism. These are non-negotiable and help make your home appealing to pet owners and non-owners alike. When temporarily relocating your pet is not an option, then you should spend an extra few minutes in the morning collecting all toys and supplies in a basket and storing them out of sight. Do plan on doggie daycare for the first few days. Your pets shoul...

When I begin working with a new seller, I immediately put their neighborhood or zip-code on my watch list (if it isnt' already on it), and pay close attention to any new activity. When new listings pop up that are very suitable comps, I'll make an appointment to preview. Comps and credibility are not only important when talking to clients, but also when it is time for the appraisal. I make every effort to meet with the appraiser in person and will present pertinent information that the appraiser may otherwise not be aware of. By doing my homework, I am in the best position to share information that supports the value of my listing. I am able to explain why I disregarded one comp that looked so perfect on paper, or made bigger than usual adjustments for another. I am not only relying on ...
