“My father was a home builder in the Lake Norman area. As a child, I would sit for hours looking at different home plans and mark the ones that I thought had the best layout. Sometimes I would go with him to meet with his clients at home sites, and I watched as he listened to their desires for their homes and then worked so hard to make sure their needs were met. Now I am a real estate agent and am eager to put my care and knowledge to work as an advocate for my clients to make sure that their needs are met.”

Kim is also an excellent seller’s agent. Using all the marketing tools that Mooresville Realty provides combined with her attention to detail, she is able to showcase homes so that they reach qualified buyers and sell quickly and at their best price.

How to List Your Home on the National Register of Historic Places

For history buffs, there’s nothing like living in a house that played an important role in the past. Whether it embodies a distinct architectural movement or was once home to a prominent individual, there are many different ways that a residence may be deemed historically significant. If this sounds like your home, you may want to consider having it recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Here are a few things to know about applying for this esteemed designation. 

Process Overview
In order to be listed on the register, you’ll have to first submit a nomination for your home to the State Historic Preservation Office. They’ll work in conjunction with the National Register Review Board and, ultimately, submit the nomination along with a recommendation to the National Park Service, who will make the final decision. 

Evaluating Criteria
Of course, the National Park Service is looking for specific characteristics that make a home worthy of this exclusive certification. They consider such factors as the age of your house, the current condition it’s in and how well it’s been preserved over the years. Regarding the significance, they’re looking for properties that are associated with noteworthy events, activities and people of the past. Homes that are connected to architectural history, landscape history or engineering achievements are also specifically listed in their criteria. 

Benefits
The benefits of having your home listed go far beyond bragging rights. For starters, your property may qualify for grants and tax incentives to authentically restore and maintain it. If you’re worried about facing restrictions upon receiving this certification, that’s only a possibility if you receive state or federal assistance when renovating the home. Lastly, having your home put on the National Register of Historic Places can likely increase the value by confirming its importance with a prestigious designation.

What is home staging and why would a homeowner want to use this service?

Home staging is the process of preparing your property to sell with the goal of appealing to the broadest number of potential buyers. Whether your property is occupied or vacant, a professional home stager can add the necessary touches with furniture, lighting, artwork and accessories to give buyers the sense that this is their new home. Remember, when selling your home, it’s important to present the property in a way that appeals to most potential buyers, not necessarily in the way in which your family lives in the home. 

   83%of buyers’ agents say that staging makes it easier to visualize the property as their future home.     

               44%of buyers’ agents say that staging a home increases the dollar value offered.

Like painting, making necessary repairs and landscaping, staging can be a great investment in the sale of your home and can pay big dividends! Plus, staging fees are often much lower than the first price reduction if the home doesn’t sell quickly.

Once you have prepared and staged your property, don’t skimp on the photos! Professional photos are a great way to present your beautifully prepared and staged home to potential buyers.

Maria Tobin, ASP is the owner of Staged for Success. She has been staging in the Lake Norman and greater Charlotte area for over 11 years.
