Greg provided us with excellent professional service in the sale of our home which sold quickly at
a fair and reasonable price for us. During a uniquely difficult process with the buyers he provided us with sound advice which comforted us while making some difficult decisions. Most importantly he didn't recommend a low-ball price just to get a quick sale. We would use Greg again without hesitation. John and Debbie B.
Greg is very professional and competent. Greg's professional services are complete. He begins by
making certain your house makes a very good first impression. He puts together a great sale brochure, too! He works tirelessly for the sale of your house. Joe and Bonnie P.
He handled the price negotiations in a professional manner and attended the closing to ensure a
smooth transaction. The following year, I also asked Greg to provide his expertise with another transaction, which also went well. I highly recommend. Mike P.
Greg was extremely helpful and easy to work with, never once did he question any of my requests.
Once he knew what I wanted and needed he made sure that it happened. Moving is always emotional especially so when going cross country. Greg was always professional yet still able to be sensitive to our emotions. Sean and Jenn M.
In our initial meeting, Greg provided a substantial list of various homes that sold in the immediate
and surrounding areas which enabled us to eventually set a price for the house. Looking back, I think his expertise in the market value of the house was “spot on” as we were flooded with interested buyers and had an offer within the first two weeks. William B.
This was my first time purchasing a home and Greg Schwind helped me throughout the whole
process. He listened to the concerns and characteristics my wife and I were looking for in a home and DELIVERED. My previous realtor didn't make us feel comfortable making an offer on a home, but Greg Schwind somehow made it an enjoyable process from beginning to end. Tom and Joanna W.

Is Your Home Ready . . . To Be The Best Version of Itself ?
3 Your Home is Like You. It Can Get Worn Out.
Schedule a Home Check-Up. Regular maintenance will ensure longevity for
the structural and mechanical parts of your home.
However, with so much to do and so little time,
it’s easy to forget safeguarding your home. “Honey, I’ll get to it.” Sound familiar? This
approach only works for so long. Eventually, the minor costs of upkeep transform into the major costs of repair.
Now may be the best time to schedule a
professional home inspection to ensure your home is safe and sound.
The inspection is non-invasive, the cost is
minimal, and the return is certainly worth the investment.
Clutter has the potential to paralyze our emotional and physical well being by preoccupying our lives with unnecessary “stuff”. It is like the visitor who lingers indefinitely and never seems to leave on their own. Clutter is hard to get rid of!
Start by discussing options with others to help
determine who wants what. Donate your “stuff’ to charity. Recycle what you can. Discard the rest.
Taking steps in the right direction, whether large or
small, will always yield progress. Do your family and friends a favor — take the initiative and start to de-clutter now!
Remove Your Clutter - The Necessary First Step.

Lower Makefield Sales— Slow and Steady Growth
Rely on Your Local Realtor In Real Estate, the perception of “Value” is
based on the merits of Location, Features and Price. As a homeowner, the value you perceive in an improvement may not be the same as what the buyer sees.
Be careful not to outpace the market with
costly upgrades which fail to provide a quick payback. Yes, home sale prices are increasing, but at a slow and steady rate.
As shown in this chart, the 2015 average
price of a single family home is at the same level as it was in 2007.
413 single family homes sold in 2015
compared to 379 homes in 2007, with volume returning to over 400 units for the first time since 2005.
Automated Valuation Models can often be
misleading. The true value of your home will be determined by carefully studying the local market.
