We put our Woodstock, John Weiland home on the market last Oct 13. On Oct 14th we had a verbal offer and a written offer 4 days later. We sold it for $1500.00 under our asking price and closed on November 20. How did this happen so quickly? Some of it we contribute to just having the fortune to have a buyer wanting a home in our area. Although the buyers looked at others in our neighborhood (9 for sale) for over 8 months, they selected ours based on the following in their opinion:

1. Kitchen (we upgraded our lighting, door knobs, and totally decluttered the space)
2. Layout of the floorplan
3. Ability to finish the full walk-out basement

We were just in the right place at the right time, but we did apply all of the "tricks of the trade" when it came to staging the home. It looked like a model home when it went onto the market.
Hope that helps.
