As we approach the anniversary of my listing of your home (That's right, We've been together for almost a YEAR now) I feel the need to write you a letter from my heart.

It saddens me to say that I must now admit that I have not been completely honest with you these past 12 months because I SO much wanted you to hit your financial goals with respect to this sale that I have been enabling you by not telling the complete truth.

The truth is that the market is NOT going to bring you a Buyer at the price you want.

I know this hurts, and I know that you may hate me for saying this, but I think we have been together long enough for me to be candid with you.

It is now time for you to make a tough decision . . . Whether or not to reduce the listing price of your house significantly.

The market has shown us that these small, incremental price reductions every 2-3 weeks simply aren't doing anything for us . . . 

We are "chasing the market" . . .DOWN!

If you REALLY want to move on from this house to the house you've had your eye on for the pasts 6 months (watching it's price creep down also), it is now time to decide to take swift and resolute action.

We must Reduce your house to 10% BELOW the average listed homes in your neighborhood . . .

If we do this, we may be pleasantly surprised with a sudden surge of Buyer activity that very well could generate multiple offers resulting in a higher price.

Don't worry!

I'm equipped to handle the frenzy that will ensue.

I know this whole thing sounds a bit draconian, and please don't take this personally . . .

I am not doing this because want to get away from you . . .

I am doing this because I LOVE you so much that I want to set you free.

I know that once we close we close on this sale, you will have a great tale to tell all of your friends, family, and work associates about how you and I weathered the great real estate storm of 2009 and prevailed . . . and that should they EVER have a real estate of ANY sort, they MUST give YOUR REALTOR (That's me) a call :-)

So . . . The tough decision is to do this significant price reduction NOW ... or continue as we have been doing the past 12 months and get the same results . . . potentially staying on the market for another year . . . and ultimately selling at a LOWER price.

Please know that I am completely dedicated to getting you into that great new home you have picked out.

We can get you there . . . beginning with this price reduction.

What say you?

Cheers!

I'm just sayin'

Best,

b
