The H&K Experience

 

The process of buying or selling a home takes time and effort. Whether you’re a residential or corporate client, we make the buying and selling process smooth to save you time, energy, and sanity. How? By taking the time up front to get to know you on a personal level, understand your wants and needs, and ensure every option we present down to the road aligns with your needs from A to Z.

Our clients are busy professionals who make carefully thought-out decisions and they choose to work with us because we know how to get the job done right. We provide a direct, proactive approach to buying and selling that combines unparallelled personal communication, and world-class marketing.

Homeownership is one of the core concepts of the American Dream. When you’re ready to make that dream a reality, there are certain necessary steps. These steps ensure that you’re properly prepared to actually own a home, that the right location and home are selected, and that the purchase of the house proceeds as smoothly as possible.

So whether you just started to consider buying a home or you are already house hunting and along your way, you’ve come to the right place to equip yourself with information and an agent that can make the process smooth.

It all begins with a one-to-one meeting (or call with us so we can get to know you, your interests, preferences, and family. As your relationship with us grows, we bring you options that align with your unique wishlist. We’re not happy until it’s a perfect fit!

We’ve created our short list, based on years of experience, that can make an impact with little effort on your part. Click the blue buttons below to expand details.

Exterior

Prune, trim and declutter landscaping. Consider condition of exterior materials, trim and the access point to the home.‌

Paint

By far the best money spent. Don’t forget trim and ceilings.‌

Cleanliness

Declutter and deep clean the home, closets and storage areas. Maintain a very thorough cleaning throughout listing. ‌

Bright and Light

Lightbulbs should all be in working order. Open all blinds and curtains.‌

Furniture
Pare down furniture. If you are considering removing something or rearranging, do so before the listing hits the market. Look at the amount of floor space and number of pieces in each room and how that makes the room feel (cluttered, closed off, small) to determine if it’s best to remove furniture from the home. ‌
Counters
Clear and clean all counters, keep clear during listing.‌
Comfortable Temperature

Set home to 72 degrees for showings and open houses.

He handled some difficult negotiating points with speed and grace, keeping us in the loop and watching out for our interests while keeping the big picture in mind. Sam is connected, caring, and knowledgeable – overall, we were thrilled with our experience.”
