private sales: How To Work With Real Estate Offers When Selling - 08/31/08 03:25 PM
Selling real estate is a very traumatic time. This is especially true when it comes time to deal with an offer. You are about to sign an agreement that commits you to a sale in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Then a buyer comes along and presents you with an insult, not an offer. You will get situations like this whether you are listed with a real estate broker or selling privately. There is no way to avoid it. You have to understand some buyers feel they have to start low to get their best price. This is a misconception … (1 comments)

private sales: Use Our Experience When Selling Your Home Privately - 08/26/08 06:40 PM
Remember the day that you drove into a gas station, pulled up to the pumps and an old guy came sauntering out? He was in a pair of coveralls and was wiping his hands on one of those cloths the mechanics use. He would walk up to you and say ‘good day, fill-er-up?' You would answer and he would then proceed to pump the gas, clean your windshield then tell you to pop the hood so he could check the oil. He would even check your tire pressure and top them up if necessary.

private sales: How To Handle Multiple Offers When Buying Or Selling Real Estate - 08/26/08 02:32 PM
In some markets, multiple offers can show up whether you are buying or selling real estate. As a seller it is a pleasant experience, while buyers have a different set of emotions to deal with.

private sales: Protect Your Investment - Do Not Smoke In Your Home - 08/19/08 03:53 PM
Smoking in a home will do a lot of damage two ways. The smell will become imbedded in the furniture, carpets and drapes. Smoke will discolor walls and furniture.
If the home has a forced air heating and air conditioning system, it will circulate the smoke through the home. Although you think you are confining it to one room, the smoke will be distributed throughout the home when the system is running. Over time the duct work will hold the odor.
Many buyers are turned off by homes that have been smoked in. They cannot stand the smell and also realize … (0 comments)

private sales: Can A Real Estate Agent Really Get 26% More Money When They Sell A House? - 08/19/08 12:14 PM
There is a post on Activerain where the blogger claims that a real estate agent will get about 26% more for a house than the For Sale By Owner seller will.
Lets do some math. A Realtor sells a property for $300,000 which is market value. Based on the above statement, the FSBO seller will only get $238,095 for the same home. That's a lot of money to give away.
Obviously this statement is not correct. I am currently trying to obtain a copy of the report that makes this claim. How can you even start to compile a statistic like … (0 comments)
