The Truth About Selling Homes For Top Dollar

About Merribeth Burns

Born and raised in Indiana, I was fortunate to have phenomenal parents, as my role models.  My mother, Ruth Alyea Hall believed in the importance of education and living a balanced, enriched life. My mother saw to it that I experienced all these things.  I was involved in 4-H, Girl Scouts, Travel,  Art, Music, Dance, and Church. She encouraged me to obtain my Bachelor degree from Franklin College. My father, McCoy Hall was self-employed and epitomized the entrepreneurial spirit with a passion. He was a  “Go-Getter”,  the “Deal Maker” and never met a stranger.  I am very much my father’s daughter when it comes to business.  I also credit my parents with instilling in me, the importance of owning one’s residence, and the positive impact of passive income.  Owning property gave my parents financial peace of mind. Given my background, it’s no wonder Real Estate is my chosen career path.  My parents have passed away, however, I carry their legacy on in the way I live my life and handle my business. I am forever grateful to them for all they taught me, and honored to be their daughter. I currently reside in Danville, Indiana with my loving husband. We enjoy cycling, hiking, and “Glamping” in the 5th Wheel with our dogs.  I am blessed, as I truly love my life.

This is what I Bring to the Table:

1. My Drive, My Determination and My Passion to make it happen. I had clients in need of a large home, with a large yard, in a particular school district.  Nothing was available on the market, that would accommodate their family, in their price range.  I began calling on expired listings; I went back 4 years. Within 1 week, I located a couple who were thinking of selling. The Sellers were a taken aback, as they had just begun talking about putting their home on the market. They were excited about the prospect of selling so quickly, and were on board.  Everything fell into place. It was definitely one of those “meant to be” situations. The Buyers were thrilled as well.  It was a win-win situation.

2.
