Brighton, MI

On Thursday, December 4^th, I'll be joining my colleagues from the Brighton Optimist Club to ring bells for the Salvation Army. We'll be in front of Taorello's Market Place, 1007 E. Grand River, Brighton 48116, from 10 AM - 8PM.

If you're in the area, stop by and say "Hello!" to an Optimist - especially if it's a cold day. We'll be working in one hour shifts, and I can tell you that standing for an hour on a cold day is a challenge. My time slot is from 3-4pm, and I'd especially love to see you and exchange greetings of the season!

This year's campaign kicked off on November 14^th, and the goal is $145,000. The Salvation Army also runs an Adopt-A-Family program to make sure that nobody is forgotten during the Holidays.

This is just one of the many community service projects that the Brighton Optimist Club undertakes each year. Sometimes your time and energy is as important as a monetary donation (or more so!)

Where to Turn When Your Home Doesn't Sell? If your home has just come off the market and hasn't sold don't be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale.

So Why Didn't Your Home Sell?

Last year many of the homes listed for sale never sold at all and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount of homeowner needed education on the sale of their home for top dollar in the shortest period of time.

Don't risk making the wrong choices in losing both time and money on your investment. Before you hire a realtor, know the right questions to ask to save you time and money. Here at the Fisher Team we have prepared a free special report called "How to Sell a House that Didn't Sell" which educates you on issues involved.

Before you even think about your next plan, review your previous one first using the following as a guideline.

An expired listing usually reflects a problem in one or more of these four major areas:

1. Teamwork
2. Pricing
3. Condition of your home, and
4. Marketing

Starting with teamwork-review the kind of relationship you had with your realtor. Was communication between the two of you always open, honest, and comfortable? For example did you receive detailed and dependable feedback on the progress being made on the sale of your home?

The next point to review is your asking price did it work for or against you? Keep in mind that pricing too high is as dangerous as pricing too low. How was the condition of your home?

Did your home present itself with showcase quality both inside and out? Remember there's lots of competition out there, especially from new homes and bank foreclosures. Keep in mind too that a house in move-in condition invites a sale.

And last, but not least, did your realtor best represent your needs with a solid, innovative marketing plan. Remember one of the first steps in your selling plan involves finding an agent who will best market your home. When shopping around for an agent be sure to compare their knowledge and experience. Remember that not all agents are the same and this can make the difference between selling your home for the most amount of money... Or not selling it at all.

To assist home sellers here at the Fisher Team we have prepared a special report entitled "How to Sell a House That Didn't Sell" to help avoid making the same mistakes twice you can request this free special report by simply going to our website http://nickfisherhome.com or just a call at (810) 844-2373 and please leave your name, e mail address, with a phone number and we will send you your special report.
