selling a house: You Don't Pay High Commissions: Here's Why - 06/17/14 04:39 AM
Why you don't pay high commissions:
Are you the original owner of a 40 year old house or the average homeowner who buys and sells every five years? If you said, the latter, you won’t pay as much as you may think.
It’s the original owner who pays the bulk of the commission paid out. Subsequent owners are really only paying commission on the equity obtained over time. For example, a homeowner sells their house for $200,000 and includes $10,000 (5%) in the purchase price. The buyer doesn’t pay for any real estate fees for their services they obtain through the … (0 comments)

selling a house: Dear Friends and Family: - 03/18/14 10:25 PM

Easy to say, downsizing, but it is a daunting task to sort through all the memories and figure out what can stay and what should go without hurting loved ones who gave gifts over the years. So where do you start?
I've worked with many seniors going through this transition and have suggestions that may seem simple … (3 comments)

selling a house: Please, Please Call Your Sister So Your House Will Sell! - 10/05/10 06:23 AM
I just returned from an agents tour where properties are viewed by all agents in the office.  There were a couple that were really nice and a couple that were "fixer uppers" but there was one in particular that concerned me.   It showed very well.  It was well kept, updated, neat and everything was in its place.  In fact, I can imagine the photos would look pretty awesome and impress anyone looking online.
Here's the kicker, it smelled horrible.  I literally had to hold my nose while walking throughout the property.  The upstairs had an overwhelming smell of dog and the … (2 comments)
