A Real Life TRADE UP! Success Story! It's not just fictional blog content after all!
A few months ago I wrote a blog entitled TRADE UP! 5 Reasons why this is the BEST market to upgrade! It was one of my first blog posts and I was lucky enough to have it featured on Active Rain.

home selling: The Importance of Pricing Your Home Right THE FIRST TIME! - 01/26/10 07:32 PM
The Importance of Pricing Your Home Right THE FIRST TIME!
One of the cardinal sins that many sellers make is overpricing their home. Let's look at what will happen if you overprice your home:
1. Buyers will not even see your home!  Many people say that we are currently in a "buyer's market."  All that really means is that there is an oversupply of homes and there are more sellers than buyers in the marketplace.

home selling: You Didn't Really Lose Money. It Never Really Existed. - 12/20/09 10:17 PM
 
This is a great blog post by another real estate agent!
