We know that it won't look like that when the buyers move in, but the staging is what sold them. Remember what you see isn't what you'll get. Want to learn more?

ASK THE BROKER:

What does a REALTORŽ do when they are not with you or another client?

REALTORSŽ should learn the area well, we do. We research all the details that mightnot even occur to buyers, like what is and what is not covered by the HOA or Condo Fee. We know which communities are "Fee Simple" and which are "Leasehold," (What's that - just ask me?)

We know if the neighborhood has a clubhouse, pool and other amenities; how many pets can you have; and... what about fencing your yard? In short, your REALTORŽ works just as hard when he or she is not with you. Continue reading what other useful information we know all about!

Buyers, got Questions? We have Answers.

It's not unusual to have questions. We recommend that you prepare yourself for the journey by educating yourself. CLICK HERE to read our Buyers' most Frequently Asked Questions, a.k.a. our FAQs page. If you don't see the answer, call 302-424-1890, email us, we look forward to helping you!
