miami lakes: The "Real" real estate market-Part III
- 07/13/09 05:44 AM
Today's challenge for would-be home sellers is to create a perception of value in a depreciating marketplace. No quantity or quality of marketing can achieve this. The only way that this is possible is through a pro-active positioning strategy, in conjunction with the use of the most extensive market exposure available. It is the only way to truly know if a given price point (asking price) is at level that the buyer pool is willing to bear. Logically, home owners who employ limited services brokerages with limited marketing resources, and especially those who choose to go it alone as ‘For Sale … (0 comments)
miami lakes: The "Real" real estate market-Part 1
- 07/11/09 02:54 AM
The real estate business is perhaps one of the most competitive service industries there is. I clearly remember my first day in real estate school when the instructor said "he/she who controls the inventory, controls the market".

Instead, make better choices and wiser decisions. … (0 comments)
