"We have sold two houses with Dina."
"We have sold two houses with Dina in less than a year-both at times when the market was supposedly "at its worst." We watched homes around ours sit on the market for months while both of ours sold in around 2 months. This, I think, was primarily due to Dina's excellent understanding of the market. Our homes were in two very different areas marketed to different types of buyers but that didn't faze Dina!"
"Dina had excellent tips for appropriately "staging" our home. Rather than suggesting we spend tons of money, she made suggestions that increased the aesthetic appeal of our home without costing a fortune. There were things that I thought we absolutely MUST do for anyone to buy our house, but Dina convinced me that the money would not be well spent and directed me to other projects were we could more wisely use our money for upgrades prior to listing. She was right each time!" "Dina was constantly available to us and always answered our questions and concerns in a timely manner. This was invaluable to us during a very stressful time!" "Dina and Denise provided an organized list of all of the things that needed to be done after getting a contract on the house. This helped me to stay organized and be sure that the closing went smoothly."
"Perhaps most telling about Dina is how she went above and beyond for us AFTER we had sold our homes with her and were moving out of state. After having some trouble with our first realtor in our new city, she interviewed several realtors and recommended one that she thought would work well for us. We are currently in the process of buying a home with him and he's been almost as fantastic as Dina! To top things off, she looked into lenders for us in our new state. It has been so comforting knowing that even though she couldn't be our realtor anymore, we were working with people that she trusted!"

Buying Land and New Construction >New Homes
Buying a house that is under construction gives you the opportunity to customize your new home by adding special features to the basic home. When deciding on additional features, consider how they will affect the re-sale value of the home and whether these additions will over-improve your home.
Money spent to improve and modernize kitchens and bathrooms is almost always a good investment. Granite and corian counter tops, side-by-side refrigerators, tile flooring and whirlpool tubs are popular upgrades. If the builder's standard flooring for the living room, dining room or foyer is linoleum, changing to hardwood or tile will increase the resale value of the home. And even if you don't enjoy sitting around a roaring fireplace, the next owner may want one. If you plan to finish the basement later, you may want to "rough-in" the plumbing for a bath during the original construction. You should consider your own enjoyment--and what will increase the value of your home when you sell.
