The Lowry Team Keller Williams Realty Visit Local Farmers Markets

Members of The Lowry Team have had the opportunity to visit two farmers markets so far this Spring, Farmers markets are more than a place to pick up fresh, locally grown produce. It is a time for the community to gather together, visit and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team visited the West Chester Farmer’s Market. The market is open on Saturdays from 9 am – 1 pm at The Square, 9100 West Chester Towne Center Drive West Chester Ohio 45069. Some of the items to purchase are fresh produce, jams, meat, eggs and fresh salsa. Many vendors offer free samples to enjoy. Periodically, there are also guest chefs, artists and pet rescue organizations. The season runs from May 17th – October 11th.

Karen Burck, Marketing Director for The Lowry Team checked out the Wyoming Ohio Farmers Market. This marks the 8th season for the Wyoming market located at The Village Green on Wyoming Avenue. The market is open from 3 pm – 7 pm on Tuesdays. Local farms offer fresh fruits and vegetables. Other items that can be found are baked goods, honey, herbs, flowers, and coffee. Kids enjoy waffles from The Taste of Belgium and street pops made from fresh fruit and herbs. Fireside Pizza is a popular “grab and go,” dinner on the run with the local residents.

Both farmers markets have newsletters that you can subscribe to. They each also have options for their customers in the Winter months. West Chester moves the market inside Mulhauser Barn located at 8558 Beckett Road West Chester Ohio 45069. Wyoming has online order forms to pre-order then pick up beginning in November.

The Lowry Team Keller Williams Realty – 6 Steps To Selling A House

There are basically six steps to selling a house. The first step is to hire a real estate professional from The Lowry Team. Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team will discuss your time table for selling your home pricing strategies, tips to prepare for the market as well as the net profit needed from the sale. Hiring an experienced real estate agent will help protect you and your best interests and your potential equity in the sale of your home.

The next step to selling a house is to price it right. Eric Lowry will share your home’s current market value with you. Comparable sales will be run on other similar homes in the same market area. These items together with the trends in the real estate market, will help Eric determine the right listing price for your home.

The third step is to stage the home to sell. There is only one chance to make a good first impression. The Lowry Team can give you, the seller, tips on what improvements should or should not be made. They can also refer you to a professional home staging company.

Next, your agent will help you to negotiate an offer. This includes terms such as price, occupancy, inspections and any other contingencies in the contract.

Once an offer is agreed upon, it is time to start planning your move. The Lowry Team has an approved vendor list and can refer you to an excellent moving company.

Lastly, Eric Lowry, your professional listing agent will meet you at the closing table. The sellers, buyers and their agents will meet with the title company to sign all of the papers and close on the house. Here you will receive the proceeds from the sale of your house.

Congratulations on another home SOLD by The Lowry Team!
