A House is Not a Home...

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.

Watch this space for more information on buying or selling your home.

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.
