Every year Felicia teams up with an organization and/or charity and she don
ates a portion of every sales commission to them. This year after much thought, consideration and prayer, Felicia found herself drawn to a place known as House of New Hope.
House of New Hope is statewide organization offering an array of quality, community-based services: to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities; to traumatized youth with emotional, behavioral and educationally complex challenges through treatment foster care and mental health services; and to families through adoption and home study services.
Felicia truly believes that every person; young and old deserves a loving and caring home; House of New Hope does a great work and she is so blessed to be a part of it. If you are in the market to purchase or sell a home, consider using a REALTOR ® that puts others first. The purchase or sale of your next home just might help other’s find a loving and caring home. For more information on how you can give, please contact Felicia Rowe 740-398-7990 or Felicia@FeliciaRowe.com.

According to NAR (National Association of REALTORS ®) home sales are up this month compared to this time last year! To me it is very refreshing to an increase, not only through my own day to day business, but it’s great to be able to report this info to the public. I believe a lot of the increase is not only because the market is slowly rising again, but also due to the inching deadline for the Home Buyer Tax Credit. The homebuyer tax credit is basically money that the government is giving to you when you purchase a home. Some of the qualifications are below:
First time Home Buyer-
Income of $125,000 or less per year for a single buyer.
Credit is for 10% of the purchase price up to $8,000.00 dollars.
Already own a home? You can also get a tax credit as long as you have owned your home for 5 of the last 8 years as an owner occupant.
NO need to purchase a more expensive home, however you may purchase a home up to $800,000.00.
Home buyer tax credit is 10% up to $6,500.00
(other qualifying factors apply)
There are 85 days left to take advantage of the Home Buyer Tax Credit. All offers to purchase must be made and in contract by April 30, 2010. So, if you are in the market to purchase a home, I encourage you to look now. The time to buy is NOW, also protect yourself and use a licensed REALTOR.

It’s a new year with a fresh start. We have great interest rates which is a great beginning to the comeback market. People are starting to see that “credit” matters once again and hard work truly does payoff. Look across the country and no matter where you’re at, your market is, if nothing else “Different” than it was 1 or 2 years ago. The real estate bubble has officially BURST! Now the question is what are we going to do about it? I have watched how many of my colleagues have begun to slowly take a step out of real estate and focus their professional life else where. Sellers have stayed homeowners of their current place and some buyers still have dreams of owning. Many people are wallowing, but I say “STOP IT”! The market is not over its different, things aren’t easy but they are certainly doable and Sellers, if you have been on the market for a very long time, ask your agent why, however be prepared for the answer. If you’re selling you have got to have your game face on, as well as a game plan! If you are going to compete have you been conditioning your home?
Its time to be dynamic, and stand out for all the right reasons, its The Way to sell your home. Here is a concept that is simply stated as the 4 P’s:
Price
Position
Perfectly Pretty
First you MUST have your home priced right, the buyer ALWAYS determines the price (they have the money) but you must be in the ballpark. In a buyers market, pricing needs to be perfect! Second you need to position yourself with the best marketing you can without paying extra! This means you need to shop around for an agent who can get it done w/ the best marketing plan “Customized” to fit your own needs! Marketing it properly will place your home in the best position. Finally, Perfectly Pretty, your home needs to be clean, free of clutter, it needs fresh paint nice floors, curb appeal and should smell lovely! This doesn’t need to be costly; it just takes some hard work!
If it’s been a dream for you to have your own home, let’s take it to the next level; live your dreams! The real estate agent will educate you on how to be looking for the right place. Now is the time to buy, interests rates are down, homes are of an abundance and the market is yours! The right agent will be knowledgeable and can point you in the right direction for getting the right loan to schedule inspections and closing the deal. Let someone help you turn your dream into a reality, the time is NOW!
If you’re in the real estate business, don’t give up, persevere! If you can’t do that you have NO business helping people. Its time for you to educate yourself in all areas of business, from financing, appraisal, pricing and definitely negotiation! Tell your sellers what they need to do to sell their house, be honest and be frank (w/ sincerity). If you are a buyers agent, guide them, direct them, and help close a deal!
Hopefully no matter where you are in the market, you can see the opportunities ahead. Always remember it’s different not impossible. Think outside the box and you too will close the deal!

Lack of effective marketing strategy. Hard work and the power of technology are proven methods of selling property. Home sellers should always use an approach to effectively utilize the marketability of their home. What local publications work and what ones are a waste of money? Marketing a home is crucial, however knowing the proper way is even more important!
Lack of communication. Teamwork between the agent and seller is key and cannot be overstated. Home sellers should make sure they are a team of one, and their agent takes time to communicate OFTEN and effectively. Homeowners should be in the know, what type of buyers are viewing the property, what are the buyers comments about the home during open houses and showings. Why are buyers walking away instead of making an offer? Communication is free, yet the lack of it is very costly!
Condition of the home. Has the property been made into someone else’s dream? Allowances typically do NOT work, there is a better way. The agent should be able to tell the seller some cost effective solutions to these kinds of problems.
The home is incorrectly priced. It is VERY important that a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is done in order to price the home correctly. A homes value changes with market waves. Is it a sellers market or buyers market? What are homes similar to the property in question going for? These questions and more will be answered with a CMA.
