sell your own home: When Is The Best Time To Sell Your Home - 08/26/08 01:43 PM
A question we get asked a lot is when is the best time to sell a home. Unfortunately there is really no correct answer. There are years where there is neither a spring or fall market. Sometimes the summer of even the winter is very active.
In real estate there are generally 2 markets; spring and fall. You can expect spring to be the strongest. This is due to owners selling and moving in the summer when the kids are out of school. Others might sell in the fall and move over the Christmas break.

sell your own home: Benefits Of Buying Real Estate Directly From The Owner - 06/15/08 11:59 AM
There are many benefits of buying real estate directly from the owner.
If you were buying a used vehicle, would you prefer to buy it from the person that drove it for the past 5 years or a commissioned sales person?
The current owner can tell you how frequently the oil was changed, when the brakes were last replaced and supply you with all the service records. The commissioned salesperson will look at you like you're a pay cheque.
