I have had the opportunity to sell two houses with Jody Zink and her team – one in 2013 and one 2020. In both instances the houses sold quickly, for a fair price. Also, in both instances, I did EXACTLY what Jody said to do. It turns out that while I consider myself an expert in what I do for a living, I am not an expert in real estate. So I just listen to the advice of someone who is. In 2013 when the housing slump was in full swing we put our house on the market. We did everything Jody and her stager said to do – paint, remove decorative excess, etc. – we received a fair offer in six weeks. In fact, in a neighborhood of 200 houses it was the first house that sold that wasn’t a foreclosure that year. In 2020 I had to sell my mother’s house. It was a highly emotional time and a challenging sale. We did almost everything Jody and her stager said to do. This time it involved emptying the house, cleaning it and having it staged with furniture and decorations. We chose not to do a few expensive upgrades, and that was fine. We had a fair offer in two weeks. When you hire a Realtor, you’re paying a commission for a service. That services is NOT just listing and showing your house. It’s the expertise that comes from hundreds of transactions and the trends that can be spotted. Jody and her team are more than willing to hold your hand and walk you through the real estate wilderness. Let them.
