Don’t Lose Your Car! Keep track of where you parked your car with these tips:  Take a video as you walk away from the car. This will help you retrace your steps back. Add something to your car to make it more noticeable, such as a colorful antenna topper. Always park in the same type of area, such as always on the top deck of a parking garage or by an intersection of two streets. If you carry a smartphone, pin the location of the car in a map before you leave it. Write Where You Left It No matter how much you push the envelope, it will always be stationery.

Real Estate Corner…

Q. My home isn’t selling. What should I change about my marketing tactics? A. If you’ve taken your home off the market and are looking to try again, choose a REALTOR ® who shares your goals and stands out as a Home Marketing Expert. A Home Marketing Expert should provide you with a dynamic new marketing plan that goes beyond holding open houses and sending out flyers. Here are some things to look for in the plan:  Offering updated ideas about your home’s condition, staging and asking price.  Using all advertising avenues, including the Internet. Did you post compelling pictures of your home the first time you tried to sell it? Did you include a virtual home tour? A drone video of the area?  Posting on social media. Does this person use Facebook to showcase properties (in an appropriate manner)?  Getting the attention of other REALTORS ® . Does this person have contacts with REALTORS ® who are already working with out-of-town buyers who may be moving to the area? To learn more about how to sell your home the second time, call and ask for my Free Consumer Report called “4 Tips To Guarantee Your Home Sells The Second Time.” I’ll send a copy right over to you.
