52 Hikes | 52 Homes

“Preparation is the key to success.”


This is WEEK at a GLANCE - 52 weeks of my PNW adventures!


Join me as I journey through life on a mission to make a difference, one step at a time, one week at a time. How was your week? Here's a glance at mine...

Hikes.

Located just outside North Bend, a stunning trail parallels the Middle Fork River and is an amazing place to explore! The road is absolutely breathtaking and the hike is equally beautiful! After crossing a huge bridge, the path goes for miles and you can hear the river the entire way! With huge mountains on each side, the views are never-ending! If you are looking for a wonderful place to go on an adventure, this is it! I highly recommend checking it out!

The Importance of Preparing Your House Before Selling


First Impressions Matter

  • Curb Appeal: A well-maintained exterior attracts more potential buyers and can significantly impact their first impression of your home.
  • Interior Appeal: A clean, decluttered, and staged interior helps buyers visualize living in the space, making them more likely to make an offer.


Maximize Value

  • Repairs and Upgrades: Addressing minor repairs and making strategic upgrades can increase your home's market value and ensure you receive top dollar.
  • Competitive Edge: In a competitive market, a well-prepped house stands out, attracting more interest and potentially leading to multiple offers.


Smooth Sale Process

  • Fewer Complications: Prepping your house reduces the likelihood of issues arising during inspections or appraisals, leading to a smoother and quicker sale process.
  • Buyer Confidence: Buyers feel more confident in purchasing a well-maintained home, which can expedite negotiations and closing.


How I Can Help You as Your Real Estate Advisor


Guidance and Recommendations

  • Personalized Professional Advice: I will assess your home and provide tailored recommendations on what repairs, upgrades, and staging efforts will yield the best return on investment.
  • Resource Network: Leveraging my network of trusted contractors, I can connect you with professionals who will help you efficiently prepare your home.
