pricing your home: Need to Sell But Can't? What's the Plan B? - 09/01/09 09:25 AM
It's important to go into any listing of a home with an idea of your 'bottom line'. But, the Plan B is also just as important. Often I will go to a listing appointment and while the 'bottom line' is clear for a seller, they may not have a Plan B.
In today's market, perception of value may vary dramatically. For example, the home seller that had a value of $700,000 at one time, may have a hard time believing they are looking at a market value of $550,000. And the buyer, who may still believe there is room to fall … (0 comments)

pricing your home: My Realtor Keeps Wanting Me to Reduce My Price! - 10/31/08 05:18 PM
Why do Realtors keep pressing price? I know that there is this perception of agents as self serving and just looking for a commission. But is that it?

pricing your home: Will Offering a Bonus to the Buyer's Agent Sell My Home? - 08/12/08 08:31 PM
I see this questions in various forums and I hear it often from frustrated sellers. It's a fair question and I've seen a tremendous amount of debate over this topic.
To sell your home you must make sure that it is:
Staged to appeal to the broadest number of buyers. Priced to sell. Easily accessible. Compensation to the Buyer's Agent is in line with the market and your competition. It's marketed effectively. As for a bonus to the agent - the short answer is no. But for a full description on why, visit Why Didn't My Home Sell. If you are … (0 comments)

pricing your home: ...But I Can't Sell for Less Than My Bottom Line! - 08/11/08 04:27 PM
Many sellers are struggling with a thin margin of equity. I see it in Q & A conversations online, I see it with sellers that I'm talking to, and I watch it happen with homes all over our marketplace. I hear sellers proclaim that they 'can't go below $X'!
