Objectively Selling a Home in West Sacramento

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

I have discovered over the decades I've been in real estate that you can pretty much tell any person anything you want, as long as the news is delivered in a sensitive fashion, backed up with facts. OK, maybe that doesn't work with Donald Trump, but it works with most home sellers in the Sacramento area.

When it comes to objectively selling a home in West Sacramento, a home with certain drawbacks that are, let's say invisible to the seller, it can take a bit longer than perhaps other sales in West Sacramento. You can read more in my personal blog today about it at this link: How Many Offers Does it Take to Sell a West Sacramento Home?

I don't think that requires an explanation, LOL.

You've gotta remember the punctuation, too! All those squiggles, accents and upside-down question marks. This would be ¡Felicitaciones!

Hi Elizabeth.  Even in a hot market price matters.   Enjoy the weekend.

Price always matters. Some people would prefer to spend $2,000 a month in a mortgage payment for 6 months than lower the price by $10K. That's their right. Eventually the price catches up to market . . .

Good morning Elizabeth.  So I take it you don't like Donald.... ??  Who knows he maybe taking the oath of office next year...

I hear there has been a huge uptick in Americans interested in relocating to Canada. More so than those who wanted to avoid the Draft during the Vietnam war.

Good morning Elizabeth. There is not much that I would put past Donald Trump, but you can't argue with his results so far.

Hi Elizabeth.  I must not be so adept at delivering the news, because we have plenty of sellers that no amount of information will convince.

I have some of those, too, and we just go with it. My experience has taught me . . . what is it that Robert Schuller wrote? Even a dead fish floats upstream.

Elizabeth, we do have to be honest with sellers and tell them sometimes what they don't want to hear, tactfully!

If for no other reason than it is our duty to give them the information and not to withhold anything, including our professional opinions. If they don't agree, though, that's their prerogative, and I respect it.
