sellers: All Dressed up and No Buyers to Show! - 11/12/08 08:16 AM

One of the agents in our office listed her very lovely personal residence located in an extremely desirable neighborhood in the early summer with very few showings and little interest. Over the months, she made several small price reductions which really didn't seem to make the phone ring until she hit the "magic number" by dropping … (9 comments)

sellers: Buying Down versus Price Reductions - 06/13/08 10:55 AM

I recently attended a seminar on how to "Sell" homes and not just "Market" homes. One particularly interesting item I walked away with was to suggest that Sellers offer buying down a Buyers interest rate rather than simply reducing the price. This is such a win-win for both parties. The Buyers … (2 comments)

sellers: Negotiating a Contract is kinda like playing Poker! - 10/26/07 11:47 AM

I think some folks take the negotiating process too seriously. Of course, the seller wants to obtain the highest price possible and the buyer want to "steal" the property for as low a price that they can. That is just the nature of the business---give, take, push and pull. I've seen … (2 comments)

sellers: Tax Changes we need to know about! - 10/08/07 11:09 AM

Setting a realistic market price for a property is most important if we plan to move it in a reasonable amount of time. Sometimes coming up with a CMA from our local MLS system info is a challenge when there has not been a lot of activity in a given area … (1 comments)

sellers: "We Sell Ugly Houses", have you seen that sign? - 09/24/07 10:50 AM

Do you ever go to an open house or a showing at a property and wonder why the property is being shown in the present condition? If a property is in need of some renovation or cosmetic fluff, it would definitely behoove the owner to get it done PRIOR to putting … (1 comments)

sellers: Too Many Foreclosures! - 09/17/07 10:12 AM

In our local area, each Saturday the newspaper advertises the foreclosures for one month prior to a property being foreclosed on by the lending institution or individual holding the mortgage. This Saturday’s paper had 22 columns of foreclosures noted in our relatively small area!

In pondering this unsettling … (0 comments)

sellers: Tell it Like it Is! - 09/10/07 01:36 PM

Do you ever dread conveying to your seller that you haven't had any calls or showings on their home recently? Do those sellers feel you are doing something wrong or not doing something right? Have you had open houses without any buyers or even any curious lookers? If you have answered … (3 comments)

sellers: PLAYING THE OPEN HOUSE LOTTO! - 08/13/07 06:24 AM

Listing agents strive conscientiously to do all the right things to market our Seller's properties. Part of the process is the ever-popular REALTOR® open house. We implore our fellow REALTORS® to come view the home, we provide the best "bait" we can to lure them & then hope for the best. … (5 comments)
