plano open houses: Did I hear you say you don’t need a REALTOR®? - 09/26/11 01:04 AM
You have finally found the perfect home for you and your family, now you must decide how much you want to offer for the home. This is when you must develop a negotiating strategy or refine the one currently have. If you offer too low of a price, you risk of losing the home to another buyer who is offering a higher price; if you offer too much, you may pay more than the fair market value for the home.
Did I hear you say earlier that you don’t need a REALTOR®? Finding the right home is the easy part, what … (3 comments)

plano open houses: “Hello……..any feedback on the open house?” Your client asks in frustration! - 09/22/11 12:44 AM
 
As we know, many people sell their home for a variety of reasons and no matter the reason, there is usually a level of anxiety associated with selling a property; I know, I have been in that situation more than one time during my military career. Many sellers allow their home to be held open (open house) as another means of attracting potential buyers.
 
We as real estate professionals should go out of our way to ensure a very successful open house and some of the many things we do to prepare are, but not limited to:
