I moved to my current neighborhood in June 2005 and just flung myself right into the swing of things. I joined the Woman's Club (which I'm still with to date) and decided right off I was running the block party which seemed to need a leader as current folks had stepped back.
The past organizers were a bit burnt out in organizing the event and it was time for a takeover, so fine, I elected myself. That event went great as did Block Party 2006. But in 2007 no one stepped up for the job, and I was way too busy so no block party. This year I was 3x as busy as I was last so when my kids asked me about the block party I said, "sweetie, I'm just too swamped, can't do it."
Well, let me tell you some kids just can't be told "no."! My son, pseudonome "Rocker" and his buddy "Puck," ages 14 and 15 respectively, decided THEY were going to organize the block party. And they did...very, very effectively!
I can't begin to elaborate how proud I am of these kids. They took the project, took my spreadsheet from previous years, enlisted minimum help from adults and ran with the job to a complete success!
My husband's band provided some entertainment as they played a few songs before their gig tonight. Everyone BYOB and contributed a dish or dessert.
What a great event! And joint-organized by non other than my 14 year old. Poor kid. Now that he's demonstrated the skill to pull this off, I'll be looking for further initiative in terms of his academic and volunteer effort! Hey, mom's job is to continuously raise the bar, right?
As mentioned in my first installment of Ten Critical Mistakes You May Make When Marketing Your Home for Sale, there are a number of faux pas that, as a homeowner marketing on your own, you just cannot afford to make!
Real estate transactions have a tendency to be fraught with emotion, ego and everything else that doesn't belong in a business transaction, but somehow manages to weedle itself into the fray! Unique business, this real estate stuff!
Here's the second installment of Ten Critical Mistakes You May Make When Marketing Your Home for Sale. Read up!
Costly Mistake No. 6
Signing a Listing Contract with No Way Out
Shouldn't you have right to fire your agent if they're not performing? In some companies the broker will assign your listing to someone else in the office, someone you didn't personally select. As a Quality Service Certified® Realtor, I offer a written guaranteed of exceptional service. All of my clients have the opportunity to rate my performance at the end of the transaction. I'm accountable to you at all times as it should be.
Always protect yourself by getting a guarantee of performance, or some sort of "out", which gives you the right to cancel anytime for any reason.
Costly Mistake No. 7
Limiting the Market and Exposure of the Property
The two most obvious marketing tools (open houses and classified ads) are only moderately effective. Surprisingly, less that 1% of homes are sold at an open house. The Open House, although it gives good exposure to the home, to the buying public and also neighbors who may know someone who wishes to buy in the neighborhood, it also is used to attract future prospects, in addition to selling the house.
The right Realtor will employ a broad spectrum of marketing activities, emphasizing what he or she believes will work best for you. There are more effective ways to find buyers than just open houses and print advertising. Did you know that most calls come in during business hours when sellers are at work, and most home showings are between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday? My listings are marketed 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, 365 days a year, and all marketing efforts are paid for by Prudential New Jersey Properties as the broker, or myself...not the homeowner.
Costly Mistake No. 8
Using a Re-finance Appraisal or a Dated Comparative Market Analysis to Price Your House
An appraisal is an opinion of value for a certain purpose and is based on comparable sales in the same township. Don't make the mistake of thinking that the value you were told 6 months ago when you refinanced your home is what a real buyer would pay. Ask your Realtor for ALL the recent sales in your area, and then decide. Also the homes located in our lakefront markets in our area are extremely unique and deserve a REALTOR who specializes in that specific market, and have seen the inventory...both active and sold. There are lots of opinions but only one set of facts. Insist on the FACTS!
Costly Mistake No. 9
Choosing the Wrong Realtor, or Choosing Them for the Wrong Reasons
It's very likely that you don't interview people very often, and yet in order to find the right Realtor, you may interview several. The quality of your home selling experience is dependent upon your skill at selecting the best qualified person.
Should you list with the real estate agent who has the most listings? How will they deliver the best service? When a broker has many signs in a neighborhood, it means they have many listings...that aren't selling. The world is populated with real estate agents who are wrong for you.
The sale of your home could well be the most important financial transaction you have ever been involved with. The person you select can make it a satisfying and profitable activity or a terrible experience. It's your home, your time and your money. The choice of your Realtor is up to you. Make the selection carefully.
Costly Mistake No. 10
Hiring an Agent that Doesn't Understand or Utilize Today's Technology
Technology is rapidly changing the world that we live in. Naturally, the real estate industry is also being impacted by technology as well. Today, there are new and exciting tools that home sellers can utilize to improve their bottom line and reduce market time. Unfortunately, most real estate agents are way out of touch with today's technology and insist on doing things the old way. They refuse to welcome and embrace change.
I'm very excited about the possibilities that exist for my selling clients and utilize different methods to help achieve a top-dollar sale as quickly as possible. My website, www.AntoinettesHomes.com provides a venue that prominently exposes your home to local buyers, as well as those that are relocating to Morris County. Consistent follow-up helps keep our clients feeling informed throughout the home selling process, never adding to the stress levels which are bound to be tested at this important time!

Antoinette was by far the best agent we have ever had! This is our THIRD house, and I look forward to working with her again when we sell our home!

Dear Sirs,
"Almost a year and a half ago I bought a fix- me-up home in West Milford, NJ. It was to be an invest to "flip." The home cost more than $240,000. The real estate agent said if I put in $20,000 and three months work, he could sell it for about $360,000.
After SIX months work and $40,000, the same salesman said he could get $330,000. I signed a six months contract. In that time he brought in his friends for a clean up for $150. I got a bill for $300. He wanted to bring in a crew to landscape the property for another $800. I did it myself for nothing. I was spending more than $2,000 a month in mortgage and building material payments. I was desperate.
Twice he said he had the house sold. Once for $300,000. That fell through he said. Another sale went down the tubes on the way to signing the papers for $280,000. I never met or saw a buyer.
With one month left on the contract, a friend at work recommended I talk with Antoinette Scognamiglio. I called her and explained my situation. Antoinette volunteered to look at the house and make suggestions that might help sell the house. Antoinette came to the home on her own time, offering to help me make some changes even though there was nothing in it for her. I did as Antoinette suggested and still my real estate agent could not get anyone interested. When the contract expired, I signed with Antoinette.
Antoinette went to bat and made up brochures, put the house on the internet, put flowers around the property and held an open house.
The real estate market had peaked four months earlier, and it was going to be a long haul. Not with Antoinette. She had the house sold for $286,000 in ten weeks in a soft market.
At the time of the sale, my bank account was down to my last $81 -- eighty one dollars.
Antoinette sold my house, saved my credit and made a friend for life."
Sincerely,
Don Smith (location withheld)

We went into an open house of a home that we couldn't afford, and Antoinetted gave us excellent service regardless, whether we could afford the home or not! This is why we stayed with her throughout our search.

To whom it may concern:
"We have found Antoinette to be a unique gem. She is a person that goes above and beyond to satisfy her clients.
We first met Antoinette when we were looking at open houses. She really listened to what was important fo our family and our needs. She searched for properties that fit the criteria we were looking for. She researched properties and towns for us. She really had an understanding of what we were looking for in a home. She always met us with excitement and the genuine desire to help.
Also, Antoinette did a wonderful job selling our home. She created a marketing plan so that our home would be well advertised and the open house well attended. The flyer that she created was magnificent and highlighted all of our home's features. She did such a great job of selling our home that we had multiple offers above the listing price. We could not have asked for anything more, as Antoinette truly made the sale of our home seamless.
We are proud to recommend Antoinette as she is an amazing person and Realtor!

"On January 22, while attempting to sell my home on my own, one of your agents telephoned me offering to help me market my property. This agent's name is Antoinette Scognamiglio. At the time I was not interested in turning my property over to a real estate broker. The reason was that I was being annoyed by so many brokers that I just didn't want to deal with anyone.
As it was, Antoinette was probably the only one that did not badger me and so on February 11, I agreed to meet with her to discuss the marketing of my property. She came to my home well prepared and from that time until this very day I am still impressed with her marketing skills and her dedication in finding a buyer for my property.
On June 14 we had the closing on my property, and you can be sure that if I know of anyone who will be selling their property, I will recommend your company and Antoinette to place their home on the market.
Thank you again!

"Thank you so much for all of your help and advice during the sale of my home, especially during all of the difficulties with the potential buyers. I could not have made it through without you!
I wish I could take you with me to California!"
