"Terrylynn - I want to thank you so very much for all your help. You were wonderful. We could not have done it without you! I have already recommended you to several people and will continue to do so."
- Kelly & Spencer

"My experiences with Terrylynn Fisher have been wonderful. As stressful as purchasing a home, preparing a home for purchase, and all the other questions that come into play for other investment opportunities, Terrylynn has been such a wealth of information and support. When I have a question, I immediately only have her come to mind. She always gives honest, ethical advice even if there is no commission involved. I also love her calmness and overall energy."
- Cynthia

 An open house can be a great way to sell your home. It can also be an open invitation to prying eyes. To keep your personal life, well, personal, here are some steps you can take to snoop-proof your house when prospective buyers are around.

  • Clear away mail and paperwork from all surfaces (desktops, countertops, cofee table, etc.). Lock up extra-sensitive documents (bank statements, passport, social security card).
  • Remove diplomas and personal photos from your walls.
  • Store family heirlooms. You don’t want your personal effects to distract buyers. A tidy and uncluttered space will help them imagine themselves in the home.
  • Organize closets. Some visitors have no qualms about opening closets and cabinets and peeking into other generally off-limit areas. Be prepared by making sure those hidden areas are in tip-top shape.


California Association of Realtors Market Matters report says – Talking Points

  • Most sellers are sentimental when pricing their home for sale and often insist on listing it at a higher price than it is likely to garner in today’s market.  If a home is priced unrealistically, it likely will stay on the market longer, often reducing its appeal and leading home buyers to question its value.  Many factors influence home values.  To prevent a listing from going stale, sellers must work with their REALTOR® to price the house correctly. 
  • While it may be common knowledge to REALTORS® that the first offer is often the best, some sellers may not feel the same way.  Many believe that if the first potential buyer makes an offer close to the asking price, future offers may exceed it.  In many instances, this is not the case, and subsequent offers often are for less.
