Get a Head Start on the Spring Selling Season – List Your Home Now
Posted by Sue Johnson | Leave A Comment »
Now that March has arrived, homeowners across the country are getting ready to bid winter farewell and usher in spring, and the growing number of buyers that come with the season. While this winter has been anything but normal, those looking to sell their home should take into consideration that winter’s not over yet. In fact, in years past, some of the largest rainfalls and the coldest weather have occurred during the month of March.
However, home sellers shouldn’t view this as a negative thing when it comes to selling their home. Preparing your home for sale and listing it on the market during March can also provide an edge over the competition in your area.
While the warmer months are generally regarded as the best time for home sellers to get their property ready for sale, marketing your home at the tail end of winter shouldn’t be taken out of the equation entirely. Even though the weather is colder this time of year, it’s important to remember that prospective buyers are out looking for homes 12 months a year and there’s no reason to drop the ball on getting your home on the market in March, before the spring selling season arrives.
If you’re preparing to list your home for sale this month, the first thing you need to do is make sure the home feels toasty when prospective buyers come to look around. If you are planning an open house or have showings scheduled, be sure to turn up the thermostat and make the home warm and inviting. If the house is cold, prospective buyers will more than likely race through the house. They may even start to question the windows and insulation.
In San Diego, we don’t usually face these issues but watch out for those occasional chilly days!
If your home has a fireplace, winter showings provide the perfect opportunity to show the potential buyer how cozy a fireplace can be. Go the extra step and leave some marshmallows and sticks nearby and invite open house attendees to test the fireplace out.
Display any eye-catching photos of these amenities so buyers can get a better understanding of what the property truly offers.
There are still many real estate professionals and home sellers alike who don’t believe that trying to sell a home during the winter is a good idea, so the month of March is a great time to take advantage of the smaller competition. Many serious buyers often come out during the winter months, including corporate clients who usually need to relocate within the first quarter of the year.
Since a lot of people are waiting until spring to put their home on the market, being ready in March is a great way to beat the rush.

THE REWARDS OF “DOING YOU”
Posted by Ana Gramling | Currently 4 Comments »
I have always called myself “the lucky girl”…
I was born on 8-28-58 (yes, I’m getting OLD) and, in most Asian countries, the number 8 is considered lucky…I believe this is true!!!
From a very early age, I learned that my purpose in life was to help others. So, it’s not unusual that today I am a Realtor® helping my clients to buy and sell real estate.
But, what TRULY brings me the most joy is my personal commitment to giving back to our community and to serve others during their time of need. If you hear me say “I’ve got your back” know that I MEAN IT!!! Loretta Lynn once said about her life, “I just want to matter”. This statement has become my personal mantra.
Two weeks ago, I was interviewed as a candidate for San Diego Magazine’s Woman Of The Year for their publication on women who change the city. I am humbled, and extremely excited to share with you that I am a finalist for this prestigious award!!! This award recognizes “dynamic women who work to create positive change and contributions to the San Diego community”. What I can tell you, is that the list of women who are likewise being considered have contributed to our city in ways that will make you SMILE…CRY…AND STAND UP AND APPLAUD THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!
So…you’re probably asking yourself…”What has Ana done to garnish such accolades???”
Anyone who knows me will tell you that every Monday morning I am one of thousands of volunteers who deliver meals to homebound Seniors on behalf of Meals On Wheels. I can’t think of a better way to start my week!!! I LOVE MY SENIORS and I can honestly say they are all my friends! One of my Seniors, Josie who is 83 years “young”, is a founding member of the “Madres” organization. The Madres are affiliated with the San Diego Padres, whose mission is to sponsor underprivileged youth to play baseball and softball in San Diego County. Through Josie’s sponsorship, I too am now a proud member of the Madres.
I am also the President of the homeowner’s association for the downtown condo community that my husband and I live in. I spend approximately 20+ volunteer hours per week on behalf of our homeowners association and can proudly say I have made a positive difference to our community. If you are ever in downtown San Diego, I welcome you to call me as I would love to take you on a tour of our building!!! Who knows, you just might like it enough to have me represent you in a purchase of a downtown condo!!!
In addition, I mentor several real estate agents as I am pleased to have the good fortune to have had some success in my real estate career as a resale agent…especially in short sale listings. I can boast that I have a 100% success rate in all my short sale listings…something I am EXTREMELY PROUD OF!!!
