Ready to Sell in Maple Valley? Go Global!

One of the things I pride myself on as a Listing Agent is the power of my internet marketing program. When I meet with potential sellers in the Maple Valley area, I am able to demonstrate to them through statistics and anecdotes how an effective internet marketing strategy, combined with an experienced eye on local trends can help them be successful, even in today’s market. One of the features I offer to website visitors is the ability to sign up for automatic Listing updates for the Maple Valley market. A few weeks ago I received an email from a soldier in Iraq who had signed up to have new listings emailed to him.

The Definition of “Quirky”

The Definition of “Quirky”

The loose definition of “quirk” is having a “peculiar trait”….according to Merriam-Webster’s online definition at least.   This was the word of the day this past weekend while I was showing homes in the Maple Valley area. No matter which home we went to, there was, inevitably, an odd quirk to the property.  Be it poor condition, a bizarre floorplan or an unusual property trait, we seemed destined to find something quirky about every single home we viewed. Many had great amenities, ”except for”.  The longer we looked, the more we began to expect ( even look forward to identifying )the quirk in the next house. We weren’t disappointed. Every home we viewed had “something odd” about it. Quirky. Odd can be good and odd can be bad. But if there is something quirky about a home, the price needs to reflect that oddity or “quirk”. Otherwise, it will just become topic for conversation and the buyers will say “next”. There is a buyer for every home. But not at any price. Unless you’re willing to wait a really long time.   Colleen Fischesser is the Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Select in Maple Valley, WA.
