But trust us, after more than 38 years in real estate, Peggy Slappey Properties knows that a helpful seller is the best ingredient to a quick, easy sale.
So, how can you as the seller help most?
Leave! This is, perhaps, the most important rule of “Selling 101.” Real estate agents the world over will tell you that buyers are more comfortable and more able to picture themselves in the home when the current owners are nowhere in sight. Although you might be tempted to stay to hear feedback, it’s better to clear out, giving shoppers the opportunity to peruse without the pressure

The back-to-school season is nearly here in metro Atlanta. As families gather all the essentials – pencils, paper, backpacks – there are some with a daunting task ahead of them. If you need to move at this time of year, it can feel overwhelming, especially for kids. The real estate experts at Peggy Slappey Properties (PSP) are here to help.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR):
53% of buyers with kids under 18 listed the quality of the school district as an important factor in choosing a new home.
50% said convenience to schools, or location, was an important factor.
Buyers with childcare expenses are often willing to choose a smaller home to accommodate those expenses.
If you are looking for a new home this summer, it’s a great time to start teaching your kids about why owning a home is so important. Real estate investing is the foundation of the American Dream, whether your family owns one home or many.
Teach Them to Save
Although there are loan programs to help buyers with small savings, it is almost inevitable that buying real estate will require a personal investment of cash. Teach kids the importance of setting a portion of whatever they earn aside. Allow them to divide their money into categories like giving, spending, saving, and investing. Habits made young will be reinforced as they age and begin to earn more.
Let Them Help Create a Budget
Depending on the age of your child, real-world numbers

Agents are scheduling showings in 15-minute increments back-to-back for days on end. Homes
Real estate is moving fast in metro Atlanta. Homes are selling in record time, often on the first day listed. To navigate this fast-paced market, it’s more important than ever before to have an experienced, trusted listing agent on your side.
Getting the Right Price
Your listing agent will start with a current market analysis, using other homes in the area, your home’s unique features, and the latest market trends to determine what your home is worth. Because demand for homes has risen so quickly in 2021, it’s not uncommon to receive multiple offers far over asking price. But the baseline is still important. Setting an accurate starting point will determine how much money is in the seller’s pocket at closing.
