We are going to look at getting the interior of the home ready for sell:
•       Walk through your home.  Store, give away, throw, or donate anything that you won't need until after the move; e.g. furniture, knick-knacks, clothing, toys, equipment, appliances, worn rugs, papers, books, cosmetics, jewelry, games, CDs, etc.
•       Walk through your home again, this time with some tools.  Fix loose door knobs, cracked molding, leaky faucets.  Remove cob webs.
•       Replace worn or broken door knobs, … (0 comments)

realty: Does your home have to meet everyone's expectations? - 10/07/08 12:57 AM
Myth:  Your home must be every home buyer's dream home.
Truth:  If you get carried away with repairs and replacements to your home, you may end up over-improving the house.   There is a point where improving your home doesn't pay off.  The key is to consider what competing properties feature and look like.  A highly-motivated real estate agent will consult with you on what competing properties have to offer - he/she can even show you competing properties so that you can make sound home improvement decisions.

realty: How important is curb appeal? - 10/07/08 12:31 AM
Myth:  Once a potential buyer sees the inside of your home, curb appeal won't matter.
Truth:  Buyers probably won't make it to the inside of the home if the outside of your home does not appeal to them.   Buyers and their agents often do drive-bys before deciding whether a home is worth their time to look inside.  Your home's exterior must make a good first impression so that buyers are compelled to stop and come inside.  All it takes is keeping the lawn mowed, shrubs and trees trimmed, gardens weeded and edged, and clutter put away. Curb appeal is very important … (0 comments)

realty: Selling Myth-To pay a realtor fee or not? - 10/06/08 01:41 AM
Myth:  You are better off selling your home on your own and saving money on the commission you would have paid to a real estate agent.
Truth:  Statistically, many sellers who attempt to sell their homes on their own cannot consummate the sale without the service of a real estate agent.   Homeowners who succeed in selling their home by themselves usually net less than if they had a real estate agent working for them.  The National Association of REALTORSâ surveys consumers every year, including homeowners who succeeded in selling their home without a real estate agent.  Over 70% of these homeowners … (1 comments)

realty: Selling Myth - 10/04/08 04:26 AM
Myth:  You should always price your home high and negotiate down.
Truth:  Pricing too high can be as bad as pricing too low.   If you list too high, you'll miss out on buyers looking in the price range where your home should be.  Offers may not even come in, because buyers who are interested in your home are scared off by the price and won't even take the time to look at it.  By the time you correct the price and list your home at its fair market value, you will have lost that window of opportunity when your home draws … (0 comments)

realty: What to do in the winter months? - 10/02/08 01:25 AM
As this is my first year in real estate I have a general question relating to the winter months. What do you do during the winter months? Since the sales volume tends to go down how do you adjust your business to this known fact? Do you continue to do the same things or change things? Thanks for any input and advice from the veterans of the industry.

realty: How do you break into the market when you are new? - 09/30/08 06:03 AM
I have just started in real estate about 3 months ago. I have been actively going after FSBO's & expireds, have a good geographic farm that I'm mailing to on a consistent basis, and trying to get as much training as possible. However, each day I tend to think that there is a piece of the puzzle that I'm missing. I try to do as much interacting with people on a daily/weekly basis. I have a small budget to work with and thankfully I am not completely dependent on my income. My wonderful wife has agreed to let me go at … (7 comments)
