5 Tips Every Military Home Seller Should Know


Whether you’re retiring from the military and planning a move, or you’ve just received PCS orders to relocate, I got your back. As a military homeowner, it’s always smart to have a game plan ready for selling your home on a timeline.

Here are five tips to help get you there!


Call me, right now at 919-308-2292.

Time is of the essence, if you are on a timeline to sell your home. Call me and I'll come over and we can go through each room and note any repairs or improvements that need to happen. We'll make sure you’re taking care of any damaged or malfunctioning appliances. Things like leaky faucets, broken appliances, and carpet damage are a huge turnoff to buyers.

Let's Get Some Professional Quality Photographs

Regardless of the time of year, high-quality listing photos pay for themselves. Professional photos will make your home look much more appealing than ones taken on your cell phone, and will invite potential buyers to come see it in person. In addition to hand-held images, drone images help make a listing stand out, especially if it is near some water feature. This is especially useful here at the Crystal Coast.



Let ME Research the Market for YOU

The market has probably changed a lot since the last time you bought or sold a home. Before listing your home, I'll take some time to thoroughly research your local real estate market, whether it is in New Bern, Swansboro, Jacksonville or Morehead City. I will familiarize you with things like the current listing prices in your neighborhood, average turnaround times, and the type of housing for sale around where you live.

Create a Cozy Atmosphere with Staging!

Now that it’s officially fall, we can take advantage of cozy fall staging ideas to really welcome buyers into your home. As it gets colder outside, potential buyers will be feeling the cooler temperatures; imagine their relief when they step into your warm and cozy home after being outside in the cold.

We can play up the cozy aspects of your home by lighting lightly-scented candles (like cinnamon or cloves, nothing too crazy!) or putting a pot of cider on the stove. Place throw blankets on furniture, highlight your fireplace or wood stove, and make sure to keep all your shades or blinds open to let in the natural light.

Allow ME to GIVE YOU a PROPER Property Valuation

The most important step to selling your home within a time frame is pricing it correctly! Using my extensive marketing reports and research tools, coupled with my experience selling homes in places like Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle, to create a customized property evaluation. This evaluation will take into account the specific qualities of your home and the surrounding neighborhood in real time.


As an active duty or retired military member, you deserve a real estate experience that’s custom-tailored to fit your unique needs. When you are ready to choose a partner to "git 'er done", give me a call today at 919-308-2292 to get started! No time to call. Send me an email at Denis.ShorewoodRealEstate@gmail.com.
