- If you're a Holmdel, New Jersey real estate for sale by owner, you might find my real life analogy interesting.
Looking out the kitchen window I see the pool is covered under two feet of snow. Beneath the snow is a sturdy green-mesh tarp the pool salesman told me could support the weight of an elephant.
Maybe two elephants. 
That first year I expected to maintain our pool until I realized I lacked the common sense. I learned the hard way. The children's dreams of swim-overs and racing contests evaporated under a green algae haze. Hot summer days passed, their dry noses pressed against the windowpanes.
"Stop this nonsense and call the pool guy," my wife insisted, "you're getting nowhere this way."
Defeated, I called the pool guy a week later. Not because the children begged me. Not because I saw a swirly swimmy thing coil beneath the scum.
Okay, so right about now I should seque into Holmdel New Jersey for sale by owner. A few more paragraphs please.
I called the pool guy because I nearly blew off my right hand.
You see I filled a floating canister with granular chlorine (tablets go into the dispenser, not powder). Right product, wrong application. (The pool guy would have known better.)
The tiny pellets interacted with the water, creating an instantaneous chemical reaction. Heat intensified inside the blue-and-white jug. A large hiss warned me so I dropped my homemade bomb back into the pool and ran.
BOOM!
A few seconds later the canister blew around me into tiny shreds of confetti. It shook the rear windows of the house. I still stutter when I tell the story.
Dear Holmdel New Jersey Real Estate For Sale By Owner (FSBO),
- The odds are you're not going to lose a limb from a For Sale By Owner sign.
- The odds are you're not going to find two elephants skinny-dipping in your pool.
- The odds are you're not going to fashion an explosive from household items like some dark-side McGiver.
You will, however, improve your odds of achieving your objective -- getting somewhere instead of spinning nowhere -- if you hire a full-time, experienced Realtor to sell your Holmdel, New Jersey home.
So next time Mr. or Mrs. For Sale By Owner seller in Holmdel New Jersey be careful with the chlorine. It packs a punch.
Now can someone help me coax the hippo off the diving board? It's bad enough he cut the line.
