fairburn: Sellers, Get Help Listing your Fairburn, GA Home - 07/16/11 05:34 PM
Even though the statistics continue to prove that over 80% of home sales are accomplished with the assistance of a licensed real estate professional, sellers are still looking at listing their property on their own.  The FSBO (for sale by owner) seller is convinced that he or she can go it alone and save the cost of the real estate's commission in the process.  Sellers in Fairburn, GA - here's some additional food for thought:

fairburn: Buyers, You Are Riding on Two Money Trains - 04/09/11 02:48 PM
I was talking over an offer with a buyer last week for a property that he was interested in making an offer on.  We had made an offer about 30 days before, but the seller selected another offer from a different buyer.  My buyer and his family had seen this home, and they really liked it.  So the listing comes around again, and we prepare the best offer possible based on his pre approved loan amount and the request for 'Highest and Best'.  As we talked through the numbers, I reiterated to the buyer that he has to think about the … (2 comments)
