Sellers Center Sellers have been enjoying a "Sellers Market" for a long time now with inventory shortages pushing buyers into a position of overbidding to get into contract. But, this condition will not go on forever. As realtors, we see changes in the market before the newspapers or financial reporters usually get the word out. Right now, we are experiencing a slight slowdown which is largely attributable to recent increses in interest rates. There is still strong demand with buyers trying to get into contract before any other anticipated increases go into effect. If you're thinking of selling your home, we should be talking now to have enough time to get it on the market as soon as possible. I provide professional photography and a free 360 Degree Virtual Tour to your properties website. I advertise on Zillow/Trulia, Facebook,and in the newspaper and provide staging advice and assistance if we are using your furniture and augmenting it with my art. I refer you to a professional stager for the ultimate boost in your expected price. If you expect that the total amount you owe on your mortgage will be greater than the selling price of your home, you may be facing a short sale. A short sale is one where the net proceeds from the sale won't cover your total mortgage obligation and closing costs, and you don't have other sources of money to cover the deficiency. A short sale is different from a foreclosure, in which your lender takes title and possession of your home through a lengthy legal process and then sells it. Learn more >> |

Testimonials Chris N,, March 2017 - Hollie was a great and responsive agent. She kept me informed of the processas I live on the East Coast and made some very helpful suggestions. Her eye for the detail and her network of contractors meant repairs were done quickly and efficiently. She was very informative throughout the whole process and made selling my property from out-of-state very easy. Jimm E & Bettie D, November 2016 - The best decision we made was going with Hollie to sell our house. She was dedicated, provided great advice and treated our little Rockridge jewel lovingly as if it were her own house in marketing it. We set a new record for a little 2 bedroom one bath sale in the area at just under a million dollars. Elizabeth R, May 2016; Hollie was a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable in the local market and worked with a contractor to make sure our condo was the best it could be for the new owner. She always kept us updated and made sure all paperwork was timely and accurate . I am happy to say the sale closed and sold for more than asking. I would highly recommend her for any real estate transaction Carol H, July 2015 I have known Hollie for several years. When I became a bit overwhelmed with mortgage payments, I sought Hollie's advice and she immediately went into action. She has excellent connections and was able to procure a contractor who completed construction within 14 days. This helped my home to sell within 10 days for a record amount for the area. Hollie keeps current on her knowledge and education which is quintessential with rapidly changing laws in real estate. Hollie went above and beyond to help me out of a tight situation and if it weren't for her incredible organizational skills, the sale of my place wouldn't have moved so smoothly. I can testify with Hollie is her commitment and willingness to give her clients the best she can offer in quality, compassion and excellence to which she brings along with her professionalism. Jenny D, May 2015 - J Divish: From the moment I met Hollie I knew she was going to get me into a home! Her professionalism and her knowledge of the industry by far exceeds what I had expected.

Diane M - "My agent, Hollie Felts-Howell has been working diligently for me to find us the right retirement, dream home. I told her from the start that I would be hard to please, as my likes & dislikes were very specific. I think she saw that as a challenge and was up for it."
