Three years ago I received a message from a gentleman through LinkedIn as follows: I was wondering if you knew where I could get a "Heavenly Hound" plush toy? My wife used to have one as a child and I want to get her one for Christmas. It was her absolute favorite and she lost it during one of her moves as a young girl. It would make her day if we could find one. I heard that there was a Korean manufacturer that was selling the toys under the same name but after weeks … (19 comments)

In my last “Clutter Wars – Part 2 - What is Clutter?" (Homeowner's Tips) we defined clutter as anything that is out of place, broken, unused, or just something you really dislike. By the way, if you would like to review any of these helpful hints you can find them on my Blog site. Today we are going to start in one small place (a closet or junk drawer will do nicely) and put things in order!
First, you will need four (4) cardboard boxes and … (8 comments)
I fully understand your reluctance to reduce the price of your home. You want to get the best possible value for your property, and so do I.
Unfortunately, the best possible value varies over time according to various factors. Even though demand and prices may go up at some future date, allowing your home to linger on the market for an excessive length of time will tend to reduce its relative value. And then there's the question of how long you are willing to … (2 comments)

Every homeowner must set an asking price when listing their home on the market, but what happens when you don't receive any offers? Just as it's important to know when it's time to sell, it's important to recognize the right time to reduce the price.
Supply & Demand If a lot of homes are currently listed on the market or your home is overpriced, it may be time to consider a price reduction if you hope to stay competitive. If five … (12 comments)

So, you prefer to sell your home without the benefit of a real estate professional, because you know your home better than any Real Estate Agent ever could. Obviously, this is true. But, knowing what it is like to live in your home ... and ... knowing how to sell it (or any property) are entirely different things. So before you commit to putting your home on the market as an FSBO (that’s the acronym for For Sale By Owner), I'd love to go over a … (2 comments)
