1. Overpriced Home Nothing shocking here. This was far and away the most common mistake sellers make that prevent them from selling their home. If you overprice your home there is a pretty good chance no one is going to want to buy it. Real estate agents do not set the real estate market. A great real estate agent will suggest a price at which to list your home based on comparable homes that have already sold in the market. Overpricing a home to 'see if you can get someone to bite' is not a strategy (0 comments)

- 01/17/15 06:39 AM
Are their options for your buyer if you are selling your VACANT LAND? There are a few financing options for someone looking to buy your VACANT LAND.

What most home buyer/borrowers don't usually understand is the conditions identified (0 comments)
