Out of Town Buyer - Minimal Visits
We were very lucky when being recommended to Jonathan when we asked about a real estate agent for the Lakeway area. Jonathan not only showed us homes for four or five days, but had me out to play golf with his group on both of the Hill's courses. That was in the winter of 08/09. We did not buy anything that trip to Austin.
During the following year Jonathan kept us informed as to what was going on in the Lakeway area. As we got closer to our return trip, we emailed Jonathan about our interest in several homes. He showed one home to our daughter who sent us pictures. Another home he visited for us and sent us numerous photos. I scheduled home showings for two days with Jonathan the day after our arrival in Austin. We found our dream home, made an offer and settled in two weeks. We recommend Jonathan to anyone needing to buy or sell, as he is extremely knowledgeable and is a delight to work with.

Cosmetic Improvements >Brighter is Better
Sometimes a real estate agent will walk into a home that is basically attractive, yet communicates the feeling that something is lacking. Then the agent notices that all of the drapes are closed, interior lights are off and there is a lot of overgrown shrubbery blocking the sunlight that might otherwise pour through the windows.
A dark house is not as appealing to most buyers as one that is flooded with light. As a part of your preparations to market your home, try to maximize the light in your home. Make sure that all the windows are clean and the drapes are open when the house is being shown. A fresh coat of light paint can do a lot to brighten up the interior. If your house has very dark paneling, and you do not wish to repaint the walls, you may want to consider adding additional lamps. Your real estate agent may be able to provide other simple and cost-effective ideas about how to maximize your home's appeal.
