It's All Relative


There is an old saying that a "rising tide lifts all ships." In terms of real estate, rising home values in past years have benefited nearly all homeowners across the board. Now that the market has undergone a correction, homeowners may be reluctant to make a move. However, unless you are making a move to a vastly different market, you are still in the same boat as everyone else - even though you may be selling your home for less than you might have a year or so ago, you will be purchasing a home in the same market for less money than it would have taken a year or so ago.

Would You Remove Your Own Appendix...

Would You Remove Your Own Appendix...much less overhaul your vehicle's engine? The fact is that, whether a Doctor or a Car Mechanic, most people turn to those with professional experience to get the results they want. In the case of selling a home, there is too much riding on the outcome to hope that a homeowner can do the job himself or herself. While potential FSBO's (homes 'for sale by owner') nearly uniformly focus on saving money, experienced Real Estate agents usally pay for themselves by getting higher prices more quickly. They do this by setting a realistic asking price, advertising the property thoroughly, networking more effectively, qualifying buyers better, and negotiating a better selling price, circumventing potential problems.
