Who says homes aren't selling now?

The truth is, homes are selling! However, there is more inventory and fewer buyers than in recent years. That means that in order to sell, your home needs to be priced, staged and marketed appropriately.

The reality of pricing is that all homes sell for fair market value, no matter what type of market we are experiencing. I will determine your home's fair market value, which enables me to develop a target market for your home, that, together with the right price, will generate the optimal number of prospects.

My 24/7 Marketing Plan is designed to meet the needs of today's buyer. But I don't stop there. By target marketing to other real estate agents as well as directly to potential buyers, I make certain that all the bases are covered. After all, over 85% of buyers consider a real estate agent their #1 source for finding a new home. The #2 source for finding a new home is the Internet. My explosive Internet Marketing Plan ensures that we will be wherever a buyer is searching.

Of course, all the marketing in the world and even the perfect price won't help if the home doesn't show nicely. I offer staging assistance to get your home in tip-top showing condition.

The bottom line is: my listings are selling! If you would like to experience the same success selling your home...give me a call. I'll be happy to meet with you and explain my marketing plan and commission structure in detail. However, I must warn you...the information contained in my marketing plan will cause your home to sell!

They are, but not as many and for not as much. There were 439 successful sellers in 2006 in South Lake Tahoe. There were 682 expireds, or not-succesful sellers. It was all about price, and attachment to prices that no longer exist. Am thinking what I should do is see how many of our Sellers want to buy the Lucent I still have at $82 a share. Then ask them why not?  Thanks for your post.

Gary: Thanks for your comment. I agree...it is all about price. Sellers need to "get real" if they want to sell their home, and if they don't want to sell then DON'T! As for that Lucent stock...I've got some Motorola...

I like your approach.  The trouble is that most agents structure their CMA's to represent what their prospects want to see rather than true comparables in today's market.  It is only natural for sellers to want to maximize their sales price.  Staging is one way to do it.  Another is seller finance incentives which can be far less costly than price reductions.  Please consider using the web-link below to see my article on this subject.
