Selling your home when Autumn leaves begin to fall
By Larry Stoller

As the temperatures begin to cool down a bit, the Bluffton and Hilton Head real estate market in fall is usually hot. As a matter of fact, home selling in autumn is the second best time of the year to sell a home.

Autumn officially begins on September 23rd, and the fall season is a good time to put your home on the market, and get from JUST LISTED to JUST SOLD before the holidays and winter arrive in the Low Country.

Here are some suggestions for selling your home in Autumn:

Keep the outside looking extra clean. Rid the yard, driveway, walkways, roof and gutters of leaves and debris and make sure the lawn is mowed and looking good.

Take the clean-up to an even higher level. Power wash the exterior, pavement, decks and windows. Trim the trees so they are neat and that unexpected winds don’t knock down branches that could cause home damage.

Make sure those views look very attractive. Arrange the patio and surrounding area so that the views from indoors are inviting and appealing when first seen and when prospective buyers walk outside.

Wow upon entry for great curb appeal. Make that entry doorway beautiful, maybe paint it a warm color, and place plantings strategically along the walkway to accent the home’s appeal with vibrant seasonal colors.

Do it up with fall decorations but don’t overdo it. Don’t use decorations that detract from the home – a festive front door wreath, a pumkin or two and a lighting pathway to the front door can make a great first impression.

Keep it feeling warm and cozy. Entering a cold house in the fall can leave a chilling impression. Best to warm it up, so set the thermostat to a comfortable temperature and get the fireplace going. Another way to warm up a home is with light, by keeping the blinds and curtains open and the lamps lit.

Special Thanks to Johnny Mercer for helping me with the title of this article.

What our clients are saying  

We chose Larry Stoller to be our listing agent for our condo in Bluffton South Carolina based on a recommendation from a neighbor who had also used Larry’s services. We could not have been happier with the results. Great communication, flexible commissions, quick sale (3 days!), and a great attitude and helpful knowledge. Larry and Valerie are a great team and we highly recommend them for any of your real estate needs. Thank you,

Larry and Valerie helped me sell my house. If you are looking for the personal touch then these real estate professionals are the ones. They went above and beyond what usual big outfits give you. If you are looking to sell and/or buy a house, then Larry and Valerie are who you need to call. I don't just hand out recommendations, they have to be earned. And they earned mine.

 

~ Zack Southwick, Bluffton, SC

Valerie and Larry, thank you so much for the excellent marketing, selling and timely closing of our home. Your efforts were immediate, well planned and executed. As a result, the responses came quick and at a greater price than we anticipated. All this occurred with a very can-do and friendly attitude. We would be happy to recommend your services as we have already. Thanks again for helping make our dreams come true.

 

~ Jim & Fran Cason, Bluffton, SC

We've sold six houses in the past 17 years and Larry was hands down the best agent we've used. We were very impressed with the way he got the job done. He was always available to answer questions and stayed in close contact with us during our selling process. Larry is easy to work with, and we could tell that he definitely had our best interest at heart. I would not hesitate to recommend him and would use him again in the future.

 

~ Matt & Beth Nielsen, Bluffton, SC

Valerie and Larry did an excellent job of getting a buyer for my house. I was very pleased with their services. They were always prompt and on time when they made appointments. Their feedback was very helpful. It was like getting two realtors to get the job done instead of one. I highly recommend them.

 

~ Ann Gibson, Sun City Hilton Head, SC

We met Larry about a year ago and with his incredible assistance we were able to purchase a home in The Haven in SC. He was always available to us to answer the never-ending series of questions we had. Being from out-of-state, he gave us a working knowledge of the area and provided us with all the information we needed to make a suitable offer on the property. His work with us continued even after we closed on the property, with assisting us in finding a quality renter until we were ready to move. I consider Larry to be an A+ realtor and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
