Caretakers of America - Do you have a vacant home?

Have a vacant home?

The Marketability

The free service offered by Caretakers of America can relieve the problems that occur when leaving your home "VACANT".

Real Estate Professionals agree that an occupied home sell as much as 30% faster than those left VACANT. It is easy to understand why. Vacant properties are not kept up on a daily basis and are subject to vandalism, inclement weather and abuse.

But it goes beyond that. When prospective buyers see a comfortable and clean lived-in-home, they will picture themselves in that home, consciously or subconsciously.

"...a customer arriving at a property is influenced more by what is seen than by what is said. We might want to consider concentrating 80 to 90 percent of our selling efforts toward influencing the customer's perception, and then reinforcing his perception by what is said. Much of the visual perception comes from subliminal and subliminal persuasion."

	Our caretakers are responsible adults who have either owned their own home and are making a change, or they are saving money to purchase a home, or they may be building a home. They are screened and specifically matched according to their furniture, to show your home to its maximum potential.
	The" model home" concept was designed by new home builders when they found how difficult it was visualize how a home would look with furniture. Real Estate professionals agree that a vacant home does not have the same appeal that a furnished home does.
	Curb appeal combined with attractive furniture provided by a caretaker means a quicker and a more profitable sale for you as an owner. Your home is accessible and in "ready to show" condition, seven days a week. We have created a way for your home to be occupied without the hassles associated with a tenant.
	Holding costs are at a savings to you as an "owner ". The "Caretakers" pay all utility bills (electric, gas, sewer charges, trash, water, homeowner association dues). They maintain the lawn, and pools. NO MORE newspapers in the yard and lights left on.
	We regularly do spot inspections to insure our homeowners and the agent that the home is being maintained to our standards.
	The benefit to you as an owner & your real estate agent is:

Insurance cost is reduced because home is occupied.

NO Landlord/Tenant problems

Caretaker can vacate in as little as (10-30) days upon closing date.

Home is left clean for new owner.

THE WAYS WE CAN HELP YOU AS A HOMEOWNER ARE LISTED BELOW:

1. Property management: For 1/2 of a month's rent, we advertise, interview and carefully select a tenant. For a small percent a month, we collect the rent and remit with an accounting to the homeowner monthly. We also take care of the DAY TO DAY problems.

2. Caretaker Occupied Home: For a home on the MARKET FOR SELL! A selected Caretaker with complimentary furniture will occupy the home, care for and maintain it pay all utilities and homeowner association fees until sold, at NO COST to the homeowner. The home is protected and in show condition. The Caretaker pays a modest fee to be a part of this uncommon program, allowing us to provide the service at NO COST to the Homeowner. We guarantee the home to be in as good a condition when we vacate as when we first occupied the home. Possession will not be a problem as there is not a tenant/landlord relationship.

3. Modified Caretaker Program: The Homeowner receives monthly compensation. Approximately 20 to 25% of what rent would be. Selected Sub-Contractors are placed in the home, enhancing it, caring for it, paying utilities, vacating on 30 to 45 day notice, having the home ready to show on a 4 hour notice.
