LEAST & MOST EXPENSIVE HOMES IN TULSA

Just for fun – and contrast – I found the cheapest home and the most expensive home in Tulsa. If you judge by price per square foot...check out this property selling for $7.31/SF and this property selling for $575.00/SF. Six bedrooms, seven full baths, three half baths, yet only a 2-car garage (interesting) on a gorgeous three and a half acres +/-. It's the most expensive by square foot and also on mere price at $10 million.

If you're shopping somewhere in between...give us a call!

CURB APPEAL MATTERS

In real estate, as in other things, you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression. That first impression could mean the difference. Use the following suggestions to help ensure your property will be appealing to people shopping for a home or just driving through the neighborhood. These little things often make the biggest impression!

~ Keep the lawn mowed and the shrubs trimmed; remove dead plants.
~ Repair cracks in the foundation, chimney or walkways; resurface the driveway if needed.
~ Repaint window casings, shutters, or doors, as needed.
~ Store garbage, debris, lawn mowers, and hoses out of sight.
~ Keep the garage door closed.
~ Wash the windows.
~ Clean the home exterior, sidewalks, and pavement - it's incredible what a powerful pressure washer can do.
~ Make sure your front door & porch are clean.
~ Keep the pool immaculate.
~ Make sure the front door opens and shuts smoothly and the doorbell functions.

NEGOTIATION vs. MAKING DEMANDS

It is still a buyers market, but there are still homes that sell very quickly and homes that get multiple offers. It has always been that way. Today's buyer is looking for a bargain but home sales are still negotiated. Negotiating is about give and take and back and forth. Often neither buyers or sellers are in a position to dictate the terms. Both buyers and sellers need to keep in mind that the party on the other side of the transaction is a person . . unless it is a bank. Buyers won't always get what they want, neither will the sellers. Buyers need to understand that it is possible to tick the sellers off and sometimes sellers do not have an unlimited amount of money and as amazing as it may seem sometimes sellers have more than one interested buyer. Negotiating is about back and forth, give and take. Negotiations can break down even in a buyers market if the buyer makes too many demands.
