Waiting Until Spring to Sell? That may be the WORST thing you could do! - 12/23/08 09:30 AM


Are you waiting until Spring to sell your house in Westfield, MA or elsewhere?

#2 The real estate market "IS" busier in the Spring, but that isn't a good thing for sellers.  There are a lot more homes for sale, which means more competition for you.  … (6 comments)

Adventures in Knocking on Doors...Westfield, MA Real Estate Agent Confesses - 12/02/08 09:46 AM
Confession time.  I have been a REALTOR for 20 years in Westfield, MA.  I have a background in training and management and ran a real estate company for over a decade.  I was the recipient of awards from an international real estate franchise and did motivational speaking and training for them for several years.  I hosted a real estate television show.  I was fearless...until it came to knocking on doors.

Latent fears are strange and usually make no sense.  I can recall making my younger sister do the door knocking when we were selling girl scout cookies.  I have never … (13 comments)
