Buyers Market Challenge

You may have read my post on April Fool's Day, April 1, titled Starting a Series of Blogs for Sellers.  I encouraged you to subscribe to Focus On Crofton so you could read each installment as it came out, whether you are a consumer or an agent.  

I also promised to provide a summary at the end, here on the Maryland Real Estate Blog.  Here it is:

  1. A SOLD Sign in Your Crofton Front Yard - April 1, 2008.  A challenge to sellers to be one of those who DOES have a sold sign in their front yard.

  2. Factors That Impact the Sale of Real Estate - April 8, 2008.  Discusses factors beyond a seller's or agent's control and emphasizes the importance of addressing those which ARE within our control.

  4. Five Things Crofton Home Sellers Must Do - April 21, 2008.  Find out what home sellers must do, both inside and out, to make sure their home is ready to sell in this Buyer's Market.

  6. One Big Secret for Effectively Marketing Your Crofton Home - May 5, 2008.  Find out why most real estate marketing doesn't work.

  7. Negotiating Skills Are Essential for Crofton Home Sellers - May 12, 2008.  Find out when negotiating begins and when it ends - it may not be when you expect.

MARGARET - This is outstanding.  I've featured it in Active Rain Addicts.  I have been working on something similar for buyers and the advantages of using a buyer agent for purchasing.  I've missed a few of these, so I'll have to go back and check them out.  Nice use of graphics.

Good Morning Margaret,
You certainly have put together an eyecatching and appealing summary to your series which buyers certainly will find informative and helpful. 

I'd like to get a glimpse into your brain and see how it works.....you come up with such good ideas.:0)

Brian - Thank you.  This is apparently working, since I'm generating more seller leads and when I refer them to these posts, they've already read them!

Adam - Thanks for featuring this in the Addicts group, on of my favorites!

Cynthia - That Relocation Package Contest has been so effective, with a summary post of everything related, so I made a list of other series to create.  This was #1, and I have more in progress.  I actually wrote the entire series over a weekend, so they were ready to post in advance using my best friend, Blogjet.

Hope - I thought the cartoon approach would lighten up this serious business!

Karen - I love that, too, and I'm so grateful that Richard and Gary were willing to let me use it.
