Tips and tricks to becoming a standout seller in the DMV.

Even in a seller's market, achieving the highest possible sales price for your home is all about thoughtful preparation. First off, minimize or eliminate potential objections. No matter what market you're in, curb appeal still matters, so take extra steps to ensure buyers first impression of your home is a positive one. Keep the yard looking its best, paint your porch, clean the windows, pick up trash around the neighborhood if you have to! The same applies if you live in a condo.

An overview of title insurance when it comes to owning a home.

When you buy your home, you receive a deed, which shows that the seller transferred their legal ownership to you. Legal ownership is called the “title.” Title insurance protects you in case there is any legal trouble down the line.

Title insurance is crucial when it comes to completing your home purchase.
