How HIT Helps REALTORS Sell Homes

I held an open house a few weeks ago (at a home occupied by a HIT Caregiver) and felt it showed very well...and we received great feedback from visitors during the open house. The Caretaker is very responsive and accommodating. Great Caretaker.

Thank you!

Clean Out Your Car Like A Pro - Part 1

Many of us love to take our car in for a pampering. Getting your vehicle detailed is always a treat, but it can get very pricey. That's why there's no harm in doing it yourself every so often. It's actually very easy to clean your car's interior -- and you don't necessarily need fancy machinery to get the job done right.




Below are a few tips to getting your vehicle so clean it'll look like the pros did it for you! Follow these tricks and you'll be riding in style... super hygienic style in no time!


Give your car a thorough vacuuming and get every last corner!
Give your carpets and seats a good vacuuming and you're halfway there to a squeaky clean interior. Move the seats forward and get rid of all the junk and debris hiding underneath. Unless you're meticulous all year-round, you might be surprised by some of the items lurking down there. Candy wrappers, lost change and even electronics are just some of the things people find underneath their car seats. Don't forget to remove the mats, and vacuum all the dirt under there too.

Question for the Reader: Do you clean your car on your own?

Creating a Realistic Budget - Tip 1

Budgeting -- ooh, what a scary word! If you want to frighten someone whose finances are out of control, suggest that they tally up their expenses on a piece of paper. We all understand the value of such an exercise, but when it comes to the practicality of putting a budget together, we get cold feet. Budgeting doesn't have to be so painful, when you have a systematic series of steps to follow.

SET YOUR FINANCIAL GOALS
As with any other area of your life, it's pointless to start down a financial path if you don't you have some idea of where you want to end up. What is your REASON for creating a budget? Do you want to pay off your debts? Save for your kids' college education? Put money away for retirement? Make a list of your financial goals for the next 6 months, year, 5 years, 10, 25 -- all the way through to old age. And don't spend a lot of time worrying about feasibility -- if your goal is to be debt free in a year, don't think about all of the reasons why you won't be able to make it by that deadline. Just remember, where there's a will, there's a way!

The Diminishing Fee and Closing

How does the Diminishing Fee work?

The cost for HIT's nationally recognized service is based on a “Diminishing Fee” which starts at $1500.00. Each 30 day period our Caretaker works to help sell the property, the fee diminishes by $500 and will diminish to zero (NO COST) after 90 days of occupancy. The best part, the applicable Diminishing Fee, it's PAID AT CLOSING, with no up front cost!

After 90 days of Caretaker occupancy, There is NO COST and we continue providing YOU and and the Property Owner with all the same great service till the house sells! Great marketing advantage, little or no cost, guaranteed performance - That's the HIT solution.

What happens when my Listing goes under contract?

The first thing is to Contact your Consultant or the HIT office by email to let us know you have an accepted offer on the house. VERY IMPORTANT - Be sure to pen in a closing date allowing at least 30 days notice for the Caretaker to be relocated!! We will contact the seller and obtain an official written notice to terminate the Agreement.
