Lifelong Capital Region Native

As a life-long resident of the Capital Region, you'll be in knowledgeable hands as I have lived, worked and played in the Capital District all my life.

So why real estate? There's so many career options in Upstate New York. why the real estate industry? I'll put my cards on the table. When I bought my first home, I had no idea what I was doing. My realtor didn't explain anything to me, just told me where to sign and where to be at what time. I need to understand why I'm doing something. The process was confusing and left me feeling quite overwhelmed.

It's imperative that my clients feel confident in their decision to buy or sell a home. You will have a firm understanding of the home buying (or selling) process when we work together. Check out the testimonials on my website, and you'll find happy clients!

Thinking about buying a home? Check out my blog where I'm featuring a series on things to think about when you're buying a home, step-by-step http://www.coldwellbankerprime.com/suzanne.prezio/Blog. Thinking about selling your home? Ten Steps of What NOT To Do will be of interest to you.

A little bit about me; I'm a life-long resident of the Capital Region. I am a graduate of Colonie Central High School, in addition to the College of St. Rose in Albany, NY. I earned a BA in Sociology/Criminal Justice in 1988. In 1991, I secured a job as an office manager at a law firm in downtown Schenectady. I managed that firm until 2000, then moved on to manage a firm in the Colonie/Guilderland area until 2008.

How is that of benefit to you? Attention to detail, organization, communication and follow up! Believe me, I may have to place ten phone calls and several e-mails, but I will get you the answers you need!!

In 2007, I obtained my real estate license and became a full time agent with Coldwell Banker Prime Properties in June 2008.

I love the Capital Region. It's where I work. It's where I play. It's where I live and raise my family. Welcome to the Capital Region in Upstate New York. I'm eager to show you my hometown!

Five Tips to Get Your Home Sold This Year

I guess it's no different than going to the doctor. He or she may advise you to lose weight, stop smoking or exercise more, yet, we don't always listen to professional advice.

It's no different with real estate. We make suggestions, but unfortunately, our advise isn't always taken. The result? Unhappy sellers with homes left, well, unsold.

Here are five tips to help you get your home sold - just what the doctor ordered:

1. Price your home right from Day One.
     Starting high - you'll become invisible to potential buyers.

2. You only have one chance to make a first impression.
     All improvements, painting, decluttering should be addressed prior to going on
     the market.

3. Be open minded.
     Before you shoot down the possibility of offering a credit for appliances or
     meeting half way on an inspection issue, you may want to step back and
     think about whether a small victory is worth losing the buyer AND the contract.

4. You get what you pay for.
     Saving a little on commission can have an immediate impact on what you
     actually walk away with.   The agent who works for less probably isn't giving
     you more.

5. Stay local. Reading the news about the "housing market?" The news is rather
     gloomy.   Now take a look at the 2012 Year in Review, (located just below this
     entry).
     The moral of the story? Don't look at Chicago's weather to decide whether you
     need an umbrella in Albany today.
     Our market remains one of THE BEST in the country.
