HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MARKET ME AS A BUYER?

Real Estate Buyer

Here is the reason why,

A recent study by Move Inc produced some interesting numbers. In a survey of over 1000 home owners, 49% of homeowners would buy another home if they could sell their current home for an amount equal to or more than they paid on the property, among homeowners aged 25 -34, that figure increases to 68.2%.

In short half of the home owners in America would consider selling their home. That would equate to something in the region of 56 million homes on the market or more that 10 times the number of homes actually listed on the market today.

This is no surprise to us at the National Buyer Listing Service; Over 70% of the sellers looking for buyers on our site have yet to put their home on the market.

House hunting on its own is as pointless as smiling in the dark, you know you’re doing it but no one else does. Statistically you should find a neighborhood you like and then go and drop letters through the door of every house and ask if they would like to sell their home. 50% of them will answer yes!

So if you are one of the lucky people who are in a position to buy today. Leverage that fact to find a great deal on the perfect house for you. Demand more from your agent and make sure people know you are buying.

I admire people with that rare ability to ask the awkward questions as so often it actually pays off. The hotel room upgrade, the discount on the product, the free extra with a purchase. A friend of mine recently stated that she wanted to live on…

Stop Hiding!

Real estate seems to be infested with an increasing number of "mysterious companies. " These are companies who claim to offer a great service of one type or other if you sign up but have one tell tale sign of the old "I smell a rat". Don't get me…
