Call 1-800-974-5184 for an appointment or email me at leehisey@howardhanna.com.

USA Today's June 3-5: "Foreclosure wave looks as though it's crested." Data shows fewer bad home loans. Fewer home loans are going delinquent and new problem loans have hit three-year lows, possible signs that a five-year wave of foreclosures is starting to recede.
Also - across the U.S. suburbs are seeing fewer children in the school systems. How will this change local real estate markets?

Pictures - how you sell real estate in today's market. The days of a half dozen blurry pictures on a flier and the internet are a thing of the past. In today's market you need to have quality pictures - NOT pictures taken with a disposable camera and processed at the local drug store. You need virtual tours with panoramic views to give a perception of the space. If the virtual tour is just the website pictures wiggling with music added then the marketing effort is insufficient.

E-Newsletters - when interviewing a Realtor ask them if they have a regular newsletter emailed to a growing list of people interested in your market. Will your property be described in it? Will there be pictures? Will there be live links to the properties webpages and it's virtual tour? Don't be afraid to ask your prospective Real Estate Agent to send a copy to your email.

If you are interested in real estate on Ohio's Northcoast contact us today at 800-974-5184. Feel free to sign-up for our free e-newsletter by completing the form at the right sign of the screen.
