sell a home in tallahassee: How To Identify The Right Agent To List And Sell Your Home - 10/14/11 08:32 AM
If you are a homeowner wanting to sell a home in anywhere in the United States, I would recommend you put some serious effort in finding the best agent for the job of selling your home.
With the flood of distressed properties that have hit the market (and will continue arriving for quite some time), you will be competing with a lot of homes where sellers are less concerned about the price they receive and more concerned with just getting the home sold. This means that pricing pressures are going to make it nearly impossible for a homeowner who is trying … (6 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Five Hidden Home Seller Resources Exposed - 10/13/11 09:15 AM
Less than half of all people who have tried to sell a home in Tallahassee have succeeded over the past four years, and we actually monitor this trend and call it the home sales success rate. In looking at the 57% of failed home sellers over the past year, one thing that immediately stands out is that they failed to use all of the resources they had available when trying to sell their home. You see, just getting on the internet and into the Tallahassee MLS are not enough, you actually have to take advantage of every opportunity to attract a … (4 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Seller Motivation - What Home Sellers Should Understand Immediately! - 09/23/11 09:52 AM
If you are thinking about whether or not to sell a home in Tallahassee, you must first understand your true motivation for wanting to sell. When I first meet with a prospective home seller at my office, my most critical task is to determine the motivation level of the homeowner.
While it might not be initially obvious to most home sellers, the fact is that their motivation for selling a home is the single greatest factor in whether or not the home sells.
In today's technology driven real estate market, determining the value of a home is a fairly straightforward process … (4 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: When Home Sellers Should Put Their Homes On The Market - 07/04/11 10:18 AM
Happy Independence Day Tallahassee! Today we received an email request for some real estate advice and it raises the question on what home sellers should do when they know that a move is imminent, and specifically, when you should put your house on the market.
Our reader wrote:
I was wondering if you could answer a question for me via email. Our family is planning to move outside of Tallahassee in the summer of 2012 (give or take a few months). Our home is in [northeast Tallahassee]. We realize that the market is slow right now and see many homes remain … (0 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Avoid The 5 Prolific Home Selling Mistakes - 10/14/10 08:37 AM
I was working to improve upon my Progressive Marketing Plan for selling a home when it dawned on me that I am seeing the same home selling mistakes being repeated all the time by the “Failed To Sell” group of homeowners in the Tallahassee real estate market.
So I got out a pen and paper and started taking notes, and the results were a consistent repetition of what I will call the “5 most common home selling mistakes.” Day in and day out I talk to frustrated homeowners who have spent the past six to twelve months languishing on the … (1 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Home Sellers: You Cannot EXPECT What You Do Not INSPECT - 09/24/10 08:42 AM
Are you interviewing real estate agents for the job of selling your home? If you are like most new home sellers, you invite an agent or two into your home and you have them “pitch” to you the reasons why you should hire them to sell your home. They come right to your home so that you don’t even have to visit the real estate office in which they work.
And therein lies your biggest mistake. It is expected that 70% of the homes listed for sale this month will fail to sell during the term of the listing period. … (0 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: My Message If You Are Trying To Sell A Home - 09/17/10 09:26 AM
If you are trying to sell a home and have not succeeded, then you are like much of your competition. It is expected that 70% of the homes on the market today, as well as those that will enter the market over the next year, will fail to sell. It should be obvious to anybody paying attention that home values are dropping and that competition for home sales is rising.
So, if you have been trying to sell a home and have not heard, the market’s message to “borderline” home sellers is “just go ahead and remove your home from the … (6 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Home Sellers Should Check Home Listings For Completeness - 09/09/10 08:42 AM
If you have a home for sale in Tallahassee (or anywhere for that matter), you should check to make sure that your listing in the Tallahassee MLS is both accurate and complete. A review of the Tallahassee Board of REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service this morning showed that many “tricks of the trade” are not being utilized by all of the real estate companies in Tallahassee.
I was prompted to do this check because recently a reader wrote in with a question about where to go to find information about creative financing and other options a home seller needs to consider … (4 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Will 62% Of Home Sellers Laugh At This Video? - 08/23/10 07:04 AM
I think it is safe to say that actions speak louder than words, and when we look at how most home sellers hire a real estate agent, the words they have been screaming with their actions for many, many years sounds like “I don’t care!“
I know that home sellers really do care, but it is time for them to wake up and realize that the real estate agent (and more importantly, the real estate company) that they select to market their home for sale is an incredibly critical decision.
Back in April, I wrote a blog which explored a recent … (48 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Real Estate Supply And Demand: The Truth Is Coming Out - 08/06/10 09:11 AM
It seems that the lobbyists of the National Association of REALTORS and the National Association of Home Builders are losing control of their spin doctors and housing reports are starting to reflect the reality that we have been reporting in Tallahassee. We have been reporting a gross disparity between supply and demand in real estate for more than 3 years, and I suspect other markets are going to start to realize that they are truly in the same position.
Recently, Altos Research produced a documented article and webinar entitled The US Housing Market: It’s worse than you think, and it … (8 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Discover The Two Biggest Mistakes That Homesellers Make - 08/02/10 08:32 AM
I have found that there are many home selling lessons that can be learned on the golf course. This weekend my good friend, Ron Rice, was in town to participate with me in a golf tournament at Golden Eagle Country Club. He and I like to compete in tournaments, and through the years we have discovered that though we are not necessarily that good of players, we seldom make mental errors in tournaments.
Our favorite quote that we use to remind ourselves about the importance of the “mental” game comes from the late, great John Wayne:
Life is tough, but it’s … (6 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Smaller Buyer Pool Noted For Home Sellers - 07/27/10 08:46 AM
Home sellers are competing for an increasingly smaller pool of homebuyers, and our recent housing market reports are providing proof that the market is going to be tough going for home sellers for some time to come.
In case you missed yesterday’s blog on the rapid growth of foreclosure sales, it is worth a review. The bittersweet news is that banks are finally starting to really take action on their bad loans, but this is going to flood the market over the next 6 to 18 months with bank-owned inventory homes (Real Estate Owned or REO properties). In the simplest sense, … (0 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Tough Decision For Home Sellers Must Be Made Today - 07/21/10 09:49 AM
Home Sellers must decide to stay or go. It is as simple (though very painful) as that. This has been a recurring theme in real estate conversations that many of my troubled customers and I have discussed on a regular basis for more than two years. There are enough buyers in the market that we can sell just about any home, so ultimately the ability of each and every homeowner to sell their house is in their own hands.
Home Sellers: STAY OR GO! If you go back to articles that I was writing in 2008, I urged homeowners to … (6 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: How To Sell A Home Using The Internet - 06/25/10 12:35 PM
Do you want to know the truth about how to sell a home in today’s real estate market? If you try and find information on what REALTORS® are doing, it seems you get information overload.
With roughly 60% of the homes on the market failing to sell over the past year, it is obvious that most home selling plans are not effective. Would you hire somebody if they told you they had a 40% chance of selling your home? The fact is, that is most usually the case.

sell a home in tallahassee: How To Triumph In Home Sales Negotiation - 06/24/10 09:39 AM
Understanding how to triumph in home sales negotiation should be simple to understand, but I find that is not always so.
If I were to ask 100 home buyers “how much are you willing to pay for the home,” when they found the right home to buy, most would give me an answer that would work against them. The purpose of this post is to demonstrate for home buyers and home sellers the smartest way to negotiate during a home sale.
Much of my advice on real estate negotiation is counter intuitive, but that is why I believe most people … (0 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Active Internet Marketing Requires Full Time Commitment - 06/22/10 07:11 AM
There really is a huge difference between the two different types of plans for marketing a home for sale on the internet. It has taken me three years to complete the evolution from where I was based in traditional realty methodologies to being a much more active marketer on the internet.
You see, the two methods are diametrically opposed, but very simple to understand.
Passive Internet Marketing occurs when a real estate company starts the evolutionary process from traditional methods to the use of the internet. “Ads” are placed on the internet in the hopes that consumers will contact the real … (6 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Are You Selling Any Homes? - 05/28/10 08:17 AM
Are you having any success in selling a home in Tallahassee? I get this question from prospective home sellers in Tallahassee, as well as from REALTORS from all over the internet. I think it is one of the more important issues defining our housing market nationwide.
Most real estate professionals define a “good housing market” as one where when somebody wants to move, they can sell their home. Simple. Concise. Understandable. There is a market for homes and somebody will want to purchase mine if my family needs to move. Unfortunately, that has not been the case for the past few … (6 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: How To Calculate Risk Versus Reward When Selling A Home - 05/13/10 08:10 AM
If you have to sell a home, you need to understand that a fundamental change in the real estate market has occurred. With this change, the way that you address risk versus reward will need to be modified. No longer will you have the luxury of trying to get the top dollar for your home and suffer no negative consequence should you fail.
For most people in the real estate industry, prices have always been going up. Real estate appreciation was the rule, so pricing a home to sell, and all the various other elements in the home sales process, were … (4 comments)

sell a home in tallahassee: Home Sellers - Don't Do This! - 05/06/10 08:25 AM
Choosing to sell a home “For Sale By Owner” is not working very well these days. I certainly understand wanting to save money. This is a very tough economy and every dollar matters to most families, so don’t for a second think that I don’t understand why somebody would try to sell a home without having to pay for a REALTOR. I get it. I understand.
Trying to save money is wise, knowing how to do it might be a whole bunch tougher than some people might think. For our regular visitors here at the Tallahassee Real Estate Web Site, it … (2 comments)

The internet has had a profound effect on the way consumers buy products, and this has definitely reached the real estate market. The recent survey compiled by the National Association of REALTORS showed that 94% of home buyers used the internet during the purchase of their home indicates that anybody who is trying to sell their home must not only be on the internet, but must also know WHO they are seeking as well as WHEN and WHERE to be waiting for this new generation of home buyer.
