From Our July Newsletter:
Sellers Incentives for a Challenging Economy
In a down economy, sellers must compete not only with other homes in the market, but also with buyers fears and concerns. Selling incentives have always been a way to create additional interest in your property. Today, incentives can help motivate reluctant buyers to make that next step in the face of the present environment.
Click here for a few of the more frequently used incentives that can be used to draw attention to your home.
July is 'Celebrate Our Nation' Month
This month, we salute America and the qualities that forged the American Spirit: Boundless optimism, creative ingenuity, can-do determination, hard work. Thats what built this great country, pulled it through every war and natural disaster for over 200 years and sustains it to this day. God has truly blessed America!
We have been blessed as well. In February, we were once again recognized as the top-producing husband-and-wife team among RE/MAX agents in Mississippi.
Winning a trophy is exciting, but the thrill doesnt last long. After the banquet, we did some soul searching and came to the realization that our deepest satisfaction comes from doing a good job for our clientsand we want to do more of it.
We are now ready and able to help more people, giving the same personal service, accessibility and attention to detail that placed us among the top 5 RE/MAX teams in Mississippi for 3 of the last 4 years. Were doing that by adding to our team two more full-timers who are as committed as we are.

In the midst of these changes, weve continued to stay abreast of the ever changing economic climate to be ready for new developments here in Metro Jackson.
Foreclosures and short sales continue to make the national news. They havent had as big an impact here locally. But, were ready. We took classes and became credentialed to be able to help people who are having trouble with their mortgage payments. If you know someone in that situation, please send them to us for compassionate, sensible assistance and advice.
Our greatest satisfaction comes from taking care of your real estate needs and those of your friends and family. We appreciate your referrals. Thank you for letting us serve you.
