Some sellers like to interview two or three agents. Some sellers choose just one agent and go with them. Earlier in the week I interviewed with a Manchester NH area Seller. In this case I was first agent in. I toured the home, asked lots of questions and let them know what their house was worth. ...
This is a case of the disappearing agent. Gone like POOF replied the Home Seller. He tried listing with a discount agent and never saw or heard from them again. He then tried to sell his Manchester NH area home on his own by a FSBO. In the last year he had 2 agents and 1 fsbo try and the result w...

Still owned by the home owner, who has gotten behind in their mortgage payments. Here in the Manchester NH area, I have seen a few this spring already. Each case is differen...

In one of the strangest interviews to list a home, this seller invited 4 agents over and said with a 90 second interview each, they would hire a listing agent to sell their Manchester NH area home.

It happened again this week. A new listing and within a day, a few offers. The seller briefly questioned why we should look at offers so quickly. Should they not wait for more offers to come in the next couple of weeks? The answer was to remind them that we priced this Manchester NH area home at ...
Two of the hardest sales mixed to form a steady recipe of a hurricane, tornado and earthquake. All kidding aside, Selling a FSBO is hard enough. Many sellers do not realize what it takes to get a sale closed. Mix that with an already difficult divorce, and this Manchester NH area home sale did no...

The sale of a home is hard enough, that you do not need a seller killing their own sale. This Manchester NH area home seller was selling on his own as a FSBO. The home has been on the market since last year. I have driven by it often wondering why it has not sold. Then I got the call. No, not fro...

I had a unique call late on Saturday night. The caller was shocjed by me answering my phone and said they were calling to leave a message. Their listing agent fired them.

The answer is "One". You see... He thought selling his home on his own would be easy. The media is saying there is a shortage of homes for sale, so sells should be able to "name their price." On this Manchester NH area home. the seller soon found a dozen buyers. He really was not sure what to do ...

We sure did not set out to have a Bidding war when I listed a Manchester NH area home. We listed the home just above what the comps were telling us it was worth. With some great marketing, we worked up a great list of buyers to see the home when the listing went live. Within the first day I had s...
I would say yes if it was termites, ants or home destroying insects. But this buyer was purchasing a newer Manchester NH area home. They are proclaimed to come from "The City" where there is no grass or trees except in a park. During a walk through on this warm New England Spring evening, the mos...

Yes you read that right, 20 grand. A Home Buyer looking at a new Manchester NH area home listing boasted it would take $20,000 to replace the already new carpeting. She could not believe anyone put neutral colors in a home that was renovated. As I walked through this 1928 Square Foot home, no wa...
