Lacy Burke - Take the Right Attitude

Lacy Burke is a veteran real estate agent in Santa Monica, California, where he is the head of a RE/Max luxury division office.

He represents home buyers and sellers alike, and always reminds those clients who are selling that it’s never too soon to prepare their home for sale. It’s always a good idea to plant shade trees, and if you don’t think you’ll be selling until years from now, it’s an even better idea. Mature trees, Lacy Burke says, go a long way toward making a property more attractive. And they have the practical effect of cutting your home’s cooling costs by as much as forty percent.

He reminds his clients to always take the right attitude when establishing the price of their house or condo. Buyers have a lot of options, especially in a strong market, and that can present challenges to those who are selling. A property has to be priced with the buyer in mind. Suppose, for example, you are selling a condo that overlooks a car dealership. It can’t be priced the same as an identical condo that overlooks a garden with a fountain. By setting the right price, he says that you’ll raise interest that gets you multiple offers, which in turn can drive up the price.

As a real estate professional, Lacy Burke advises his clients to have a home checked out by a realtor or interior designer before it goes on the market. By listening to their suggestions, you’ll be able to make some improvements that will get you the price that you want and deserve.
