A House is Not a Home...

Picture
It seems obvious but it’s not: a house is not a home.  Most people intending to buy or sell a home they forget that.  They make the mistake of trying to sell or buy a house and ignore that what people want is a home.

The difference is simply this: a house is a pile of lumber sitting on a lot.  A home is everything else inside and around the house:  the secret nooks and crannies where your children played make-believe, that warm corner you like to read in, the neighbors (barking dog and all!), block parties, schools, your favorite local coffee shop, and so much more.

When selling or buying a house, focusing on the house and not home misses the point.

Buyers beware:  you may find the perfect house but unless you and your agent really dig deeper it may not have the potential for being your forever-home.

Sellers, selling a house will not bring you the top dollars that selling your home will.

    Kevin C. Crowell:  #Determined! ​

    For over 25 years I worked at the company I built, successfully selling high-tech products in Japan, the world’s most demanding market. My work there required a: close attention to detail, superior customer service, exacting quality, and continuous improvement. 
    ​

    Working in Japan taught me the importance of target marketing and the value of product differentiation which is essential for standing out in a crowded marketplace.

    To build a thriving business I developed lasting relationships with my clients.  I listened to them.  I asked questions until I could negotiate and effectively communicate their needs to their business partners in a way that would be understood and ultimately accepted. ​
