Sellers: Time to Shovel that Snow!

 

Or maybe not yet

We are lucky in Columbus that we do not have snow yet.  I am sure we will have some soon so here are some words of widom from an agent on the east coast, my friend Don Fabrizio -Garcia.

If your house is on the market, you gotta shovel, or hire someone to do it.

 

Via Don Fabrizio-Garcia - Connecticut Real Estate & Appraisals (Nationwide Realty):

We've had three days straight of snow here in the Danbury, Connecticut area .  In New Fairfield, I have over 18 inches of snow in my yards. 

Today I'll be taking another look at a waterfront home for buyers of mine.  It has a number of steps down to the front door.  The home is unoccupied. 

Will I be able to access the front door today?  Probably not without my snow skis... 

Sellers, it's time to get out and shovel. 

  • Clear the steps. 
  • Clear the walkways. 
  • Clear a path around the perimeter of your home. 
  • Make sure the front entry is accessible and safe.

You really don't want someone falling and hurting themselves at your home...I'm sure that will bias their opinion against buying your home! 

This time of year, exterior curb appeal is just as important as it is in the summer.
Sellers are supposed to make sure their lawns are mowed and all landscaping is neat and trimmed.
It's no different in the winter.  Make sure the snow is cleared out so buyers can enjoy the beauty of the snow rather than seeing what a hassle getting into your home can be.

Salvation Army Columbus

I rang a bell at a Salvation Army kettle in Worthington on Thursday.  The kettle at the Worthington Kroger is sponsored by Worthington Industries.

Thanks to Linda Tacosik in the Worthington Real Living HER office for organizing, scheduling and reminding us.  We worked a one hour slot, two of us ringing bells, dueling bells.  My bell kept falling out of my mittened hand. 

You can text in a donation to the Salvation Army in Columbus to 90999.  Text the word -  Kettle.  I did.  It texted me  back to confirm the $5 donation.  My phone company put the donation on my next bill.  I believe it works with all of the cell phone services.

According to the Salvation Army's Columbus site "serving those in need in Central Ohio since 1885."  That's a tradition!

Speaking of charity... today is the Charity Newsies Paper Sale, a Columbus tradition.  Buy a paper, help to clothe children.
