<p><strong>You get a first impression only once,</strong> so make it <em><strong>Look Good</strong></em>, <em><strong>Smell Good</strong></em> and make them <strong><em>linger</em></strong>&#8230;.and they may come back with an offer <img src='http://positiverealestateprofessionals.com/safrin/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Sparkling clean de-clutterred rooms, fresh flowers, soft music, freshly baked cookies or refreshments at the kitchen table with a hospitable note to take a break, stay awhile, and enjoy:)</p>
<p><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/Real_Estate/Rolling_Prairie/IN/A9E3C7A1/54964.aspx" title="Just Sold la Porte County - Rolling Prairie - F.C.Tucker" target="_blank">It&#8217;s no wonder these sellers</a> (<em>who implemented every one of our showing suggestions to the T &#8211; including putting excess items in temporary storage <span>and pricing the Home according to current market com-parables</span></em>), received more than one offer on their property! Total time from for sale sign up the day of listing to signing of the closing documents = only 65 days! (<em>Now that&#8217;s fast for NW Indiana).</em></p>
<p><em>Professional Advice in any field, can be ignored or applied -&gt; the end results will reflect if you are following the plan suggested to you by your professional or not <img src='http://positiverealestateprofessionals.com/safrin/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
