Second Installment Of Strategy One

noreply@blogger.com (The O'Dea Moyers Group) — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 21:52:00 +0000

Tips For Selling Your Home!

You have reached out to the Buyer with your beautiful and meticulous front door that invites them into your home. As they approach your home, you need to welcome them with a super door mat. Door mats should not have crazy phrases on them or pictures of strange animals or places. They should say welcome! Purchase a place mat that works with your door to make the buyers feel good about entering your home.

Don't skimp on this. You want the front door and the door mat to send a psychological message to the buyer. That message is that the owner of this home is particular, sophisticated, meticulous, sensible, and concerned about home ownership and maintenance. The buyer will enter your home thinking that this home has been well taken care of and maintenance has not been deferred because the owner is so particular about appearances and details.

Buying a home requires a certain amount of trust. Of course there are disclosures and representations that the buyer will rely upon. These items are in writing and are very important. We will discuss this aspect of selling your home at a later time. Right now we are considering what the buyer thinks, about you, the current owner. We want the buyer to believe that the current owner is as particular and careful as the buyer perceives they are. Please note that we are talking about perceptions, not necessarily realities.

Many buyers may not be particular, meticulous, sophisticated, or sensible. However, they probably think they are...

The buyer double standard is very important to understand. The buyer may not be as concerned about maintenance as you are, but they think they are. The buyer may not spend the money to do preventative maintenance on their home, but they believe they do. You have to prepare to meet the buyer's expectations, even if their expectations are higher than they might hold for themselves. By anticipating and exceeding their expectations, you appeal to the psychological ego.

In the future, we will further explore making good first impressions and meeting expectations of buyers. We will also talk about the buyer's personality type and how it impacts your efforts to get your home sold.

Great Beginnings: Strategy One

noreply@blogger.com (The O'Dea Moyers Group) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 22:40:00 +0000

Using Psychology To Sell Your Home!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then your front door will say it all. Just imagine the impact that your front door can have on the thoughts of a buyer. Elizabeth Arden gets this message! Her trademark front door is a symbol to those passing by.

The red door represents a world of luxury and tranquility. I'm not saying that you should paint your front door red. I am saying that your front door should send a message.

The message should be of quality, friendliness, and home. Spend a few dollars to make your front door look appealing to the buyer. Make sure that the area around the front door draws people in. Many buyers form a first impression while standing at the front door waiting for the REALTOR to get the key and open the door. That first impression can be positive or negative. Regardless of the result, they will psychologically support their first impression.

Starting out with a positive first impression may result in a buyer overlooking some other aspect of your home that is not perfect, because they feel good before they enter. From the curb, your front door should be an invitation to ther buyer. Spend the time and money to send your invitation in a special way.

Use "Psychology" to SELL YOUR HOME!

noreply@blogger.com (The O'Dea Moyers Group) — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:22:00 +0000

Over the next several weeks we will be visiting about how to use "psychology" to improve the possibility of selling your home. The market is tough for selling homes in many places and sellers need to use all the tools they can to improve their chances of getting their home sold.

The suggestions are based upon years of work, study, and teaching in the areas of Human Behavior Theory, Psychology, and Professional Sales Concepts. Each blog will include one strategy based upon these concepts to get your potential buyer to be more impressed with your home. There will be at least 10 strategies and if are all employed, you should improve your chances of getting a buyer to fall in love with your home and make an offer. Each strategy will be linked to a professional sales concept.

Keep in mind that some of the suggestions may include spending money to make your home more appealing to the buyer. However, the ultimate goal is to have a prospective buyer look at your home and want to see more, stay longer, and linger for a while at your property. This will allow them to take the time to see all of the features and great benefits of living in your home.

Don't be afraid to try new things in the current market. The goal is to differentiate your home from the others in the marketplace. I look forward to helping you and invite you to come back soon.

6070 Star Trail - Dream Home in Starwood

noreply@blogger.com (The O'Dea Moyers Group) — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 21:09:00 +0000

6070 Star Trail ~ Starwood - Frisco, TX 75034

This stunning Kirlin Custom Home was designed for the home owner who wants everything. Great attention to detail went into the planning and building of this masterpiece residence of 4090 square feet. Kirlin Custom Homes is well known for their superior finish out of their custom homes, and in this situation, they surpassed everyone’s expectations.

The home site is one of the most attractive in one of the most prominent and popular sections of Starwood. The front drive and stone and brick elevation with rotunda entry is powerful.

When you tour this home you will be impressed with the large rooms, great natural light, and the overall feeling of luxury. The creative way that the outdoor living area was built provides a super atmosphere for entertaining because it completes the “C” shape design and provides a beautiful backdrop for viewing from all directions in the back yard.

The attractive foyer with hand scraped hardwood floors and superior custom front door invites you into this exceptional home. The formal dining room just to the left of the foyer is inviting with high ceilings and great access to the “chef’s” kitchen via a wonderful butler’s pantry. The super large family room includes extras like a marvelous double cast stone fireplace with a custom finish and rich built-ins enhancing the entertainment center. The crown molding and special features of this room will make you relax, even after a stressful day. Sit and enjoy for a moment. This will allow you to unwind and open the senses for the feast of like that is sure to follow.

The “Chef’s Delight” kitchen includes lots of storage and built-ins. The appliance package is commensurate with the best luxury homes. There was no “cutting corners” in this home. There are upgrades everywhere, and of course granite and stainless steel and special wood trim. Be sure and observe the fantastic finish-out in the powder bath.

Just outside you will find a spacious covered patio with all the extras for a fabulous outdoor living space. Robert Browning wrote, “I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty.” This is truly the case in this magnificent back yard living environment. Landscaping is the only design area that is by nature intended to evolve over time. In this home, the large covered patio over the outdoor fireplace and sitting area is spectacular. No need to be kept inside during the cooler months, just enjoy Texas winter evenings in front of the fireplace in your back yard. The pool is no ordinary pool! The shape is different and perfectly sized for the yard. Minimal yard care, great decks and covered patios; what a way to live.

Many of the rooms in the home enjoy great views of the splendid pool, spa, and lush landscape, as well as the outdoor living room.

The master bedroom is a “Kings Domain” and certainly “has it all.” Great window views with superior window treatments combine with moldings and ceiling treatments that inspire a poet to greatness. The luxurious master bath and oversized closet round out the central rooms for great living and enjoying the fruits of your labor. And, note the private door to the pool, spa, and patio areas from the Master Bedroom.

The extra bedrooms were built in anticipation of visitors and friends staying over for a spell. Be careful however, they may not want to leave after getting settled in to a home like this. The visitor bedrooms are located well away from the master bedroom allowing privacy for all. There is a convenient jack-n-jill bathroom between these two bedrooms, and both offer generous walk-in closets.

The executive study complete with fireplace and built-in bookcases is showcased as you enter the home, and features fabulous view of the yard and pool. It boasts judges paneling, tall ceilings, an awesome fireplace, and a large walk-in closet. The owner is currently using this room as a sitting room and it works extremely well in this use capacity as well, truly a very flexible space.
Upstairs you will discover a delightful large room, also quite flexible in its use. It is a great game room or media room, and since it has a full bathroom and a huge closet, it also would work well as a guest suite, a teen retreat, or a mother-in-law suite. Currently it works well as a combination home office and entertainment area.

There are few homes in Starwood that are as special as this one. Homes of this quality are difficult to find at this price point. Who needs more space when the space you have is so perfectly planned? “A beautifully designed, meticulously planned residence becomes a home when you add your personality and style.” Imagine the possibilities…

Great Leadership in America

noreply@blogger.com (The O'Dea Moyers Group) — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 11:56:00 +0000

Leadership is Always Needed... But Essential Right Now!

Great leadership is hard to find in America. I am always motivated to hear from people that I respect who have demonstrated an ability to lead. On the 19th of this month, I had the pleasure of attending the "Get Motivated" Seminar in Dallas, Texas.

What an event. One of the speakers was General Colin Powell. His presentation was inspiring and it was a great pleasure to be able to shake his hand and thank him for all of his great service to our country.

We need people like General Powell today. He spoke of courage and a willingness to lead in adversity. I thank him for his message and his inspiration. We need people who are willing to lead, but also to lead in a direction that we believe to be appropriate. Regardless of your party affiliation, please vote in the upcoming election. We need for you to help choose leaders that you can "believe in."
