Purrfect Realty: Helping people find their perfect home while helping homeless animals

Purrfect Realty is not your ordinary real estate agency; Owner Gloria Ferrier founded the agency on the principles of helping animals in need, and donates all profits of the real estate business to this cause. Purrfect Realty’s commitment to their human clients is just as prevalent as their dedication to their four-legged patrons, and with 10 years of experience in the real estate industry, they have “purrfected” their excellent customer service.

Gloria founded Purrfect Realty on the basis of integrity and dedication, and believes in providing the best and most convenient service to her clients. Where other real estate agents might slack, Purrfect Realty will always come through. For example, once during a particularly difficult sale, Gloria found out that the home had not been signed off between all of the previous owners who had passed away. In order to sell the house, Gloria had to personally track down each previous owner’s next of kin so that they could sign a quick claim deed. Other real estate agents will overlook time-consuming tasks such as this, telling their clients to complete it on their own and then come back when finished.  But Purrfect Realty is different; they will take on these challenges in order to make their clients’ home buying process easier and much less stressful.

Purrfect Realty: An Introduction

Purrfect Realty was born from Gloria Ferrier’s love of animals, and she’s been caring for them for more than the 10 years she’s been running her real estate agency. But back when both Gloria and her husband were working for AT&T, and  Gloria got involved in pet rescue, they could afford to use their salaries on the needy animals.

But once Gloria retired, she realized that her retirement pay was not going to allow her to keep paying the bills AND rescuing pets! And that meant no more spays and neuters, rescues or boarding strays on her property. Gloria wasn’t prepared to let that happen. And that’s what led her to real estate, she says. “I didn’t know what to do. I looked and looked for a new job. It was kind of funny—real estate was never a dream of mine! I was just looking through the newspaper at all the jobs, saw the ad and decided I’d go see what they had to say. This could work for me, I thought. And it did.”

Gloria actually found herself enjoying real estate, and has been doing it for the last 10 years. A few years ago, she earned her broker’s license and founded her non-profit real estate company, Purrfect Realty. Read the rest of this entry »

Selling a Home – Important Info For Sellers

Tips To The Seller

First Impressions Are Lasting

  • The front door greets the prospect.  Make sure its fresh, clean and scrubbed looking.  Keep lawn trimmed and edged, and the yard free of refuse.

Decorate For A Quick Sale

  • Faded walls and worn woodwork reduce appeal.  Why try to tell the prospect how your home could look, when you can show them by redecorating?  A quicker sale at a higher price will result.  An investment in new kitchen wallpaper will pay dividends.

Let The Sun Shine In

  • Open draperies and curtains and let the prospect see how cheerful your home can be.

Fix That Facuet

  • Dripping water discolors sinks and suggests faulty plumbing.

Repairs Can Make A Big Difference

  • Loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers and other minor flaws distract from home value.  Have them fixed.

From Top To Bottom

  • Display the full value of your attic and other utility space by removing all unnecessary articles.

Safety First

  • Keep stairways clear.  Avoid cluttered appearances and possible injuries.

Make Closets Look Bigger

  • Neat well-ordered closets show that space is ample.

Bathrooms Help Sell Homes

  • Check and repair caulking in bathtubs and showers.  Make this room sparkle.

Arrange Bedrooms Neatly

  • Remove excess furniture.  Use attractive bedspreads and freshly laundered curtains.

Can You See The Light?

  • Illumination is like a welcome sign.  The potential buyer will feel a glowing warmth when you turn on all your lights for an evening inspection.
