1159 summerville circleNashville Real Estate - I'll give away my secret right now on how to get your listings sold.

Anybody want to guess?

It's not the marketing, I can put homes on so many internet sites at one time that I can't even keep track. I have multiple blogs that have every listing on it, usually more than once. Pictures help, without them it's impossible to get any buyers to look at the house. So take a lot of pictures, use the best ones, and throw the rest away. Even with all of this, the house may just sit for months.

It's not staging, staging helps, but it's not the major factor in getting a home sold.

It's the price.

Let me repeat that.

The price that determines if your listing gets sold, or the neighbors house down the street. It's a war in some areas for the few motivated buyers in the market. And price is the ammunition that's the most effective.

There it is. The secret to selling your listing.

 Now if you can just convince your sellers.

Michael- I don't know why buyers have switched, but they have. In the recent past, they would buy the ones that look the best, but not anymore.

Its the price stupid because it is the economy...the individual buyer's personal economy.

Our sellers (the banks) definitely "get it".  They continue to underprice under the lowest sold and now they are getting 50,100 or 200 offers per property rather than 5, 10 or 20!
