muskoka real estate: Frustrated Seller sent me this email...please read - 07/10/11 07:12 PM
I recently received an email from a frustrated home seller. He found my ‘Ask-An-Expert’ section on my Muskoka Real Estatewebsite when searching for advice on selling his Muskoka home. He told me that he has his beautiful home listed with another Agent, and is wondering why it is taking so long to sell. He has had numerous viewings and open houses, and made a few price adjustments, but after nearly 2 yrs on the market, still no offer. Here is his email to me, with supporting pictures. Please take a look at this and give your opinion...

muskoka real estate: Marketing Your Home For Sale - 06/23/11 11:26 AM
I went to a Home Exhibition. There were two exhibitors 'selling' the same product. One of them placed a fake glass of beer on their display. This exhibitor attracted at least 10 times more potential consumers to their display than their competitor. I am not suggesting that you place a glass of beer in your pictures when selling your home or cottage...but I do suggest you pick a Real Estate Salesperson who knows how to take marketing your listing to a higher level. Contact me for details ;)

Have you ever simply wished for a change in lifestyle? We did, and within 2 months we made it happen! We lived in a typical sub-division home in Barrie Ontario, and dreamed of living out of town, in a newer home with acerage. We found a great house nestled in 16 acres of forested land. Ideal for our german shepard! It is amazing how we turned our dream into a reality, and urge anyone out there to at least try to do the same.
