What?? You mean that is all you think I can get for my house? But it has the special imported tile back-splash in the kitchen and a much bigger yard and the landscaping is so professional and artistic and it is far better that the house that sold down the street. And besides, I NEED more out of it.
Mr. Seller, let me show you some detailed statistics and months of inventory reports and how and where your house falls in the big scheme of things, what's been happening in the neighborhood, how many days on the market we see with houses that are priced over and above where they should be. Let me share the expired listings and where those sellers thought their house should be priced, yet these did not did not sell at all. I can even show you homes that have had a bidding war on them and we can see their origianl price compared to the sold price.
Let me show you how a house with numerous price reductions takes double and triple the time to sell and then sells for less that it should.
You are not alone. You read the financial reports and watch the news and check the stock market, yet it feels like a personal assault when it comes right down to it. It feels like it shouldn't happen to you but it is happening to people like you all over the area. You will get to the point where you will want to be able to have this process behind you and to be able to move on to the next phase of your life and to make another family happy to have your house become their new home. We can do this together-I will keep you informed up to the minute, track showings, bring in pre-qualified potential buyers. We will form a partnership to get you where you need to go and when you need to get there.
If you are looking to list your home in the Middleton Wisconsin or Greater Madison Wisconsin area, let me help you as I have helped many others. Here is a note from one of my sellers:
Dear Barbara, I just wanted to write a bit of a thank you for all that you have done to sell my house. After moving from Madison to Denver I had wondered how on earth am I going to sell my home in Madison without being around to take care of things or oversee what was happening. With all due respect and trust towards you I didn't have a problem. We had daily conversations involving your expert advice and I honored your voice every time. You staged my house beautifully and you took your personal time to make sure things were up to par. I could not have done this without you. I truly believe that your hard work, wonderful personality and great spirit is what sold the house. I really enjoyed working with you and I enjoyed our dinner once the house sold. I wish all the best!

And one more:
I am so glad I chose Barbara Chatterton to be my real estate agent. Barbara sold my house in the difficult market time of 2008/2009 and for a good price. The property, a one hundred year old house, presented some unique challenges-out of date wiring and the lack of a driveway to name two. Adding to the complexity of the transaction, I, the owner, lived in Puerto Rico during the winter. Barbara took these challenges on energetically and brought the sale to a successful closeting. THANK YOU BARBARA!!!
