John & Irene Beake share their story about working with Mark Thudium to sell their Grandview home of 50 years.

"We worked with Mark about 15 years ago to sell my Mother's home. It was a small home, and we were impressed with the level of attention Mark gave to the process of selling it. We realized quickly that he was an extremely hard worker, and took his responsibility as a Realtor seriously.

Mark was very professional, experienced and personable. What really sealed the deal for us was that he listened to our needs and goals. We felt confident he would make our goals his priority, and he did!

Fall is a great time to sell your home. Sellers can take advantage of the warm colors and rich foliage. Here are some tips to catch a Buyer's eyes this fall season.
