SELLER TESTIMONIALS:


We wanted you to know, we felt your service to us in 2010 exemplified everything a Realtor should be. We had complete trust in your integrity and were very blessed by your outstanding work ethic and communication skills. Always prompt with a call back and bearing with us with a consistent display of kindness and understanding while always maintaining the highest professional demeanor--thank-you!.

Our experience with the professionalism of Kris Hemler can only be described as over the top wonderful and positive in every way. Kris is the only Real Estate agent that was able to sell our property after having it sit on a stagnant market for nearly three years . . . Within a few months, we had the success we hoped for. Her exciting detailed web site put our home out there for buyers to find. She was there to show our home when ever a request was made to view it. Thank you, Kris!!

Ted and Chris Grant
We are late sending this thanks, Kris, but we really appreciate your attention to detail in getting our property sold. The interest and enthusiasm you have for golf communities is a propelling factor in handling those real estate transactions, and the fact that you live at Canyon West gives you the personal perspective on what a great community it is. Thanks again for your expert help in making the sale happen so smoothly!

 

Sincerely,

Gretchen and Alan Klotz


Last year I needed a Real Estate Agent to help sell my in-laws house in Weatherford, TX. I asked my local agent here in San Antonio to recommend someone for me. I was told to call Kris Hemler in Weatherford. Well, I called Kris with many, many questions for her. Kris took the time to answer all 45 of them and never made me feel like she was in a hurry. (I don't recommend having that many questions for your agent but if you do, Kris will answer them all.) We asked Kris to sell the house in Weatherford for my in-laws and she agreed. Of course we all know this is about the worse time to sell a house anywhere. Kris came over the day we were moving my in-laws out of the house. They signed all the papers and on the road we went. Not knowing how Kris was going to advertise the house, I felt comfortable after meeting her and left it to her discretion to do as she pleased.

Well, Kris I feel went above and beyond to sell the house. Kris put the house on the Internet, did a video and even went back into the video and added a dialog with it that made it easier to understand the layout of the house. I have never seen anything like that in my life. Kris put a lot of work into selling the house and never gave up. The house sold approximately ten months later. But, believe me, it wasn't for lack of trying on Kris' part. Her professionalism was contagious.

All I can say is, if you ever need a Realtor either to sell your house or help you relocate, you would do yourself a grave injustice if you do not use Kris Hemler.

Kris, thank you very much for all your hard work. It was greatly appreciated and certainly will never be forgotten. If you are ever in San Antonio, I would love to meet with you and take you to lunch.

10 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOUSE MORE SELLABLE
1. Get rid of clutter. Throw out or file stacks of newspapers and magazines. Pack away most of your small decorative items. Store out-of-season clothing to make closets seem roomier. Clean out the garage.
 2. Wash your windows and screens to let more light into the interior.
 3. Keep everything extra clean. Wash fingerprints from light switch plates. Mop and wax floors. Clean the stove and refrigerator. A clean house makes a better first impression and convinces buyers that the home has been well cared for.
 4. Get rid of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate cooking odors, smoke, and pet smells. Open the windows.
 5. Put higher wattage bulbs in light sockets to make rooms seem brighter, especially basements and other dark rooms. Replace any burnt-out bulbs.
 6. Make minor repairs that can create a bad impression. Small problems such as sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, or a dripping faucet may seem trivial, but they’ll give buyers the impression that the house isn’t well maintained.
 7. Tidy your yard. Cut the grass, rake the leaves, trim the bushes, and edge the walks. Put a pot or two of bright flowers near the entryway.
 8. Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.
 9. Clean your gutters.
 10. Polish your front doorknob and door numbers.

5 THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU SELL
 
1. Get estimates from a reliable repairperson on items that need to be replaced soon, a roof or worn carpeting, for example. In this way, buyers will have a better sense of how much these needed repairs will affect their costs.

2. Have a termite inspection to prove to buyers that the property is not infested.

 

3. Get a presale home inspection so you’ll be able to make repairs before buyers become concerned and cancel a contract.

 
4. Gather together warranties and guarantees on the furnace, appliances, and other items that will remain with the house.
 

5. Fill out a disclosure form provided by your sales associate. Take the time to be sure that you don’t forget problems, however minor, that might create liability for you after the sale.

SEVEN STEPS TO PREPARING FOR AN OPEN HOUSE
 
1. Hire a cleaning service. A spotlessly clean home is essential; dirt will turn off a prospect faster than anything.
 
2. Pay attention to the outdoors. Mow your lawn, and be sure toys and yard equipment are put away.
 
3. Serve cookies, coffee, and soft drinks. It creates a welcoming touch. But be sure the kitchen has been cleaned up; use disposable cups so the sink doesn’t fill up.
 
4. Lock up your valuables, jewelry, and money. Although the real estate salesperson will be on site during the open house, it’s impossible to watch everyone all the time.
 
5. Turn on all the lights. Even in the daytime, incandescent lights add sparkle.
 
6. Send your pets to a neighbor or take them outside. If that’s not possible, crate them or confine them to one room (a basement or bath), and let the salesperson know where to find them.
 
7. Leave. It’s awkward for prospective buyers to look in your closets and express their opinions of your home with you there.

THE DAY OF YOUR OPEN HOUSE:
 
1. Add a touch of color. Use fresh or silk flowers to breathe life and color into the main rooms. A colored afghan or throw on the couch will jazz up a dull room. 
 

2. Make the bathrooms feel luxurious. Put away those old towels and toothbrushes. When buyers enter your bathroom, they should feel pampered. Add a new shower curtain, fresh towels, and fancy guest soaps.

 
3. Does it smell good? Set out potpourri or fresh baked goods for a homey smell. Make sure that there are no lingering scents from cigarettes or pets.
 
4. Help them envision living there. Set the table with pretty dishes and candles, and create other vignettes throughout the home to help buyers picture themselves there. For example, in the basement lay out a chess game.
 
5. Beautify the entrance. Buy a fresh doormat with a pretty pattern or a clever saying.
 

 6. Make the rooms feel bigger. Take one or two major pieces of furniture out of every room to create a sense of spaciousness.

 
7. Accentuate counter space. Put away kitchen appliances and personal bathroom items to give the illusion of more counter space.
 
8. Lay logs in the fireplace. Or put a basket of flowers there if it’s not in use.
 
9. Depersonalize the rooms. Put away family photos, mementos, and distinctive artwork.
 
10. The lawn should sparkle. Turn on the sprinklers for 30 minutes to make the lawn sparkle.

SEVEN TERMS TO WATCH FOR IN  A PURCHASE CONTRACT
 
1. The closing date. See if the date the buyer wants to take title is reasonable for you.
 
2. Date of possession. See if the date the buyer wants to move in is reasonable for you.
 
3. The earnest money. Look for the largest earnest money deposit possible; since it is forfeited if the buyer backs out, a large deposit is usually a good indication of a sincere buyer.
 
4. Fixtures and personal property. Check the list of items that the buyer expects to remain with the property and be sure it’s acceptable.
 
5. Repairs. Determine what the requested repairs will cost and whether you’re willing to do the work or would rather lower the price by that amount.
 
6. Contingencies. See what other factors the buyer wants met before the contract is final—inspections, selling a home, obtaining a mortgage, review of the contract by an attorney. Set time limits on contingencies so that they won’t drag on and keep your sale from becoming final.
 
7. The contract expiration date. See how long you have to make a decision on the offer.

MOVING TIPS - if you're moving out of town
 
1. Give your forwarding address to the post office, usually 2-4 weeks ahead of the move.
 
2. Notify our charge cards, magazine subscriptions, and bank of the change of address.
 
3. Develop a list of friends, relatives, and business colleagues who need to be notified of the move.
 
4. Arrange to have utilities disconnected at your old home and connected at your new one.
 
5. Cancel the newspaper.
 
6. Check insurance coverage for moved items. Usually movers only cover what they pack.
 
7. Clean out appliances and prepare them for moving, if applicable.
 
8. Note the weight of the goods you’ll have moved, since long-distance moves are usually billed according to weight. Watch for movers that use excessive padding to add weight.
 
9. Check with your condo or co-op about restrictions on using the elevator or particular exits.
 
10. Have a “first open” box with the things you’ll need most—toilet paper, soap, trash bags, scissors, hammer, screwdriver, pencils and paper, cups and plates, water, snacks, and toothpaste.
