Sellers: What the Right Realtor Brings to the Table
When you're looking for Morgantown homes for sale, you know you need a real estate agent you can trust. Buyers virtually always have a real estate agent on their side. But what about sellers? An agent's role may differ in selling versus buying, but it's just as crucial.
Our real estate agents want to help you make an informed decision about your approach to selling.

Home Staging How-To for a Quick Sale
When it comes to Morgantown homes for sale, a faster selling process leads to better results for homeowners.
Our real estate agents know most sellers have very specific goals for a sale in timeline and desired price. The sooner you can attract buyers' attention, the better: Getting to closing day in 30 days or less is much more likely to result in the best value for your property. As time goes on, selling at a premium becomes less likely.
After 60 days, many buyers have to consider re-listing. That's bad news!

What Makes a REALTOR® Different?
It's time to buy or sell a property. You start searching for a representative who can help you navigate the real estate world. Then you find that some identify as REALTORS®, others as real estate agents. While most people use these terms interchangeably, they aren't the same thing. Both list houses for sale and help buyers with the acquisition process, but not every real estate agent can identify as a REALTOR®. Here's what you need to know about the Realtor difference when looking for or adding your home to the list of Morgantown homes for sale.
Real Estate Agents
A real estate agent is a professional who has been granted a state license to engage in transactions relating to the sale, purchase, or rental of property. The license is acquired after the individual passes all required real estate classes and the real estate licensing exam, which can vary widely by state. West Virginia, for example, requires a minimum of 90 hours of classroom instructions. After that, the applicant should pass a written test that covers real estate standards and state and federal real estate laws. A real estate agent must renew his or her license every one or two years and pay an annual fee for it.

Sellers: Brighten Up January With the Pantone Color of the Year
The occasionally dreary month of January is a great time to bring freshness and a pop of color into your home, especially if you are considering selling your home in the future. Many buyers searching for Morgantown homes for sale get excited when they walk a house that's been recently revived with splashes of color. Our real estate agents recommend that homeowners interested in listing their properties incorporate the 2020 Pantone Color of the Year into their aesthetic.
2020 Pantone Color of the Year: 19-4052 Classic Blue
Also referred to as "Chinese Porcelain," Classic Blue is an elegant, rich, and tranquil color that inspires a sense of peace in our hearts and minds. Such a reassuring hue fosters resilience in our spirit and the mental clarity to move forward into the decade with stability. It's an honest color that delivers a bold character without being aggressive, presumptuous, or loud.

How Great Listing Photography (And The NY Times) Helped Sell This Fairmont Home
The motto of the New York Times, the most well-known newspaper in the United States, is, "All the news that's fit to print." Thanks to the know-how of our broker, the Times recently saw fit to print a Heritage Real Estate listing from one of our great Fairmont homes for sale.
So how did our listing get this prestigious placement? The story illustrates the power of quality visuals and skillful marketing in selling real estate.
Setting the Stage
Broker Heather Neill received a listing for a charming 1927 Tudor Revival house in Fairmont. Knowing the importance of strong visual content in online marketing, Heather followed her customary practice of filming a live video walk-through, posting an immersive 3-D walk-through, and taking carefully composed still photos.
Before long, Heather's postings went viral. One posting alone received upwards of 5,300 views with 1,900 likes. Even more impressive are the 2,700 shares that gave the listing a greater visibility than was ever possible before the days of digital marketing.
