As a Taylor-Made sales agent and co-owner, I have access to our in-house services that will effectively highlight your home. Additionally, I have more than twenty years of Deep Creek Lake real estate experience.

My Deep Creek Lake Real Estate Marketing Toolbox

When marketing a listing, there are a variety of ways I insure my client’s property is attractive to buyers. The first step is accurate pricing. I rely on my knowledge of the area. Also, I look at comparable Deep Creek Lake homes and account for the needs of the seller. That combines to determine the best possible listing price.

My Network of Contacts

With over 20 years of experience, I have a vast network of real estate contacts. Your listing might be the perfect home for someone that is already on my radar as a buyer. The relationships that I have built with clients, local agents and area professionals can be very effective in terms of “word of mouth” advertising.

Immediately after listing a home, “just listed” postcards are designed by our marketing department. Those are distributed to a curated database of potential buyers.

Home Winterization Tips for Deep Creek Home Sales

home winterization tips

Home winterization is on the minds of many of my sellers in the Deep Creek Lake are this time of year. I put together my top tips for home winterization to be sure you are ready when Old Man Winter knocks at the door.

prevent frozen pipes

Home winterization starts with protecting your pipes and water system. Avoid costly water damage that can occur from freezing pipes. A plumber will check everything and get it ready it for cold temperatures. Water should be drained from places where it is stored, like water heaters and hot tubs.

Once the water is drained, you won’t need to keep the heat turned up. Your pipes are safe and you will have lower utility costs.

check the gutters for leaks & debris

If water collects and freezes, your gutters could be damaged. The weight can pull them off of the house. Also, this could cause water to collect around your foundation. Most home owners know, that is never a good thing. Clean them out and seal up any leaks that you find. Continue reading Home Winterization Tips for Deep Creek Home Sales

October Deep Creek Real Estate Update

Deep Creek Real Estate Update

The Deep Creek real estate update for October shows that many properties have seen price reductions in the last 30 days: http://mrislistings.mris.com/DE.asp?k=4875395X5ZXZ&p=DE-349549660-429

Heading into winter, our minds tend to shift toward ski-oriented properties, but there is actually still a decent supply of homes in all parts of the lake – north, south & central as well as outer lying areas within just 15-20 minutes of the lake. 

Some homeowners would rather not carry their properties for another winter and are more apt to negotiate this time of year.  Because we have less vacation traffic in the shoulder season, it’s easier to get into Deep Creek real estate properties that may be on the vacation market as well as the sales market.  To view rental specials visit www.deepcreekvacations.com.    

Deep Creek Real Estate Update September 2016

From the data below, collected from our MLS system for Garrett County, you can see that August showed signs of a very healthy market.  Our year-over-year and month-over-month figures were up in almost every category.  Fall has always been a good time to look at Deep Creek real estate.  The properties are easier to get access to and you get to enjoy the splendor of autumn with a colorful landscape.  There are also great vacation rental specials now so you can spend more on dining & entertainment and less on accommodations.
