Spring is here!

The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.

In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.

This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.

If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.

Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT KELLY DAY

“From Out of State to Our Perfect Home: Kelly Day Made It Happen!”

"Working with Kelly Day at simpliHŌM was an absolute pleasure! We were relocating from out of state to be closer to our grandchildren and had a lot of ground to cover, exploring homes in Lakeland, Bartlett, and Arlington. Kelly was incredibly patient, guiding us through numerous showings when we were in town. When we couldn’t make the trip, she provided detailed video walk-throughs, which made all the difference in our search.

Her dedication and understanding of our needs helped us find the perfect home in Arlington, and we couldn’t be happier. Kelly’s professionalism and personal care throughout the process made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. If you’re looking for a realtor who will go the extra mile, we highly recommend Kelly Day!"

- Mike & Ingrid S.

"Selling From Out of State? Kelly Day is Your Go-To Realtor!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Kelly Day of simpliHŌM to sell my home, and I can’t speak highly enough of the exceptional service she provided. Moving is a daunting task, but Kelly made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets her apart is her dedication and willingness to go above and beyond. She handled every detail and kept us informed every step of the way. Her deep knowledge of the local market and excellent negotiation skills were instrumental in securing an awesome deal for my property.

One instance that particularly stood out was when our A/C wasn’t cooperating. We had multiple quotes, but Kelly used her connections and saved us thousands! Despite the distance, she stepped in and took immediate action, coordinating with all parties and resolving the issue swiftly and effectively. Her proactive approach and determination were key in ensuring everything stayed on track.

In addition to her professionalism and expertise, Kelly has a warm, approachable personality that made working with her an absolute pleasure. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and her genuine care was evident in every interaction. Thanks to Kelly, I sold my home quickly and at a great price—even from out of state.

I absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone in need of a top-notch realtor who is truly dedicated to their clients’ success. If you want a realtor who will go the extra mile and deliver exceptional results, call her!"

- David & Robyn D.

“Even as a Realtor, I Chose Kelly Day for Local Expertise and Unmatched Support!”

"As a realtor myself, I know the ins and outs of selling a home, so when I moved to Arizona and decided to sell my house in Memphis, I could have easily listed it on the MLS myself. However, I quickly realized that having local representation and boots on the ground was crucial for navigating the sale, especially from out of state. That’s why I chose Kelly Day at simpliHŌM.

Kelly’s expertise in the Memphis market and her ability to handle everything locally made all the difference. She took care of every detail, from coordinating with contractors to preparing the home for listing, ensuring that everything was handled smoothly in my absence. Kelly’s communication was flawless; she kept me informed every step of the way, and her knowledge of the local market helped us price the house right and get it sold quickly.

Her proactive approach, attention to detail, and dedication to my success made it clear that I had made the right choice. Even as a realtor, I couldn’t have navigated this sale without Kelly’s local expertise and support. If you’re looking for a top-notch agent who truly understands the Memphis market, Kelly Day is the one to call!"

- Beth S.
