house: Priing Your Home - 09/10/08 06:37 AM
Up until 2004, you could price your home ahead of the market and it would still likely sell. In today's market it is important to price at market value. You are only a new listing once. Regardless of what type of housing market we're in, the most attention is typically in (0 comments)
house: Home inspections - 07/02/08 07:13 AM
Home inspections have become more and more popular over the last 10-15 years. When looking at homes, it's difficult to spend much time at each home and quite difficult to notice hidden issues. It's well worth the money (typically $325-$400) for a home inspection...

In the past, de-cluttering and cleanng were enough to get a home sold. That is not the case in today's Real Estate market.

The important 3: Condition, pricing and aggressive marketing/networking...combine these 3 and (1 comments)
