Need to sell the house at Thornbury or other neighborhoods of Solon?

Please don't hesitate to utilize Local-n-Global winning marketing system for sale of Greater Cleveland houses.

Call Svetlana Stolyarova 216-548-4663 today.

All Local-n-Global listings get an excellent Internet exposure. Our marketing standard requires the separate web site for each Greater Cleveland house or condo offered for sale by Local-n-Global Realty to be created, optimized for SE and published. We also do VFlyers, Real Bird mini-sites, Property Previews videos and submit them to YouTube, Craigslist, Facebook, you name it!

We utilize the power of Active Rain and Localism to promote our listings to potential buyers and their agents. We heavily advertise with Realtor.com. We post our listings at Zillow, Trulia, Oodle, etc., etc.

We target our local audience by posting at Cleveland.com, PluggedinCleveland and Local-n-Global.com. We post the horse property at LandWatch.com and AmericanCowboy.com.

And we still love traditional Open Houses. Interesting, but most of our Open House visitors come from the Internet advertising. They know what to expect, they saw multiple photos, tours and videos - and they still want to FEEL it. They appreciate the opportunity to see the house in person.

There are more motives for buyers to visit our Open Houses: they are shopping for a good Realtor. Or they just don't want to be obligated to work with one agent, so they do preliminary research on their own. Or they are thoughtful enough not to bother the listing agents by scheduling the private tour - they just go to Open House instead. Pretty serious motives to ignore them, huh?

That's why we do traditional Open Houses. However, Sunday Open Houses almost don't work during the football season. So we do it on Saturdays now!

Please check out our Let's Talk Greater Cleveland Real Estate blog. We will post our Saturday Open House announcements here.

Or just call Svetlana Stolyarova 216-548-4663 or e-mail to: Realty@Local-n-Global.com.

Have a great house hunting season! Please go to Greater Cleveland MLS property serach.

I receive more and more calls from people who are in a desperate need of renting some place to move in because their landlors's property is going to foreclosure! What a shame! Such situations show how deep is a crisis and how many people are really affected by the mess created by mortgage industry.

Mortgage boom and later mortgage crisis hit Greater Cleveland Real Estate market in muptiple ways. First of all, it "helped" to sell many of Cleveland homes which, IMHO, should've never been sold. I am talking about these crappy houses which were flipped without adding any impovements to them.

However, this kind of flipping practices is  much better than  business performed by many of unexperienced "investors" who overpaid for houses in need of rehab, paid a lot to repair them and never had a luck of selling or renting them out. As a result, we get a lot of houses looking like this one.

No wonder that we see so many foreclosed houses in a relatively good condition on Cleveland market today, which are selling for nothing. What a waste of resources!

However, the situation with mass foreclosures created another opportunity for serious investors. We have a great rental market today in Cleveland! You can buy a very decent house in nice neighborhood like South Euclid, Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, Mayfield Heights for a fracture of value. After a moderate repair (usually $10K-$15K) you may rent it out for $900-$1,100/month.

If you need to rent the nice house in Greater Cleveland, please consider this opportunity: 3 bedroom house in Lyndhurst for $1,250/month is offered for sale or for rent.

Here is another option: beautiful 3 bedroom condo in desirable Aurora Shores just for $1,100 / month!

We live in the world of reflections. Everything reflects something. Have you noticed that the properties which we list for sale are all somehow alike? Don't they reflect not only our professionalism and marketing approach, but also our personalities? Probably, my fellow agents know what I mean: sometimes we know before showing how the house will look only by knowing the listing aget's name. Even more important is to plan right the negotiation on our client's behalf by knowing or just quessing what kind of personality the listing agent is.

Listings are all about presentation. Curb appeal, staging, good pictures in MLS, nice and truthful marketing materials, convincing sales copy at the property's web site - all these details not only present the house to the potential buyers and their agents, but also represent what kind of persons we are: dominant and influencial, stable or compliant, caring or negligent. And I wish all the agents wanted to show up only the best of their wonderful personalities.

I often think what kind of person should enjoy listing all these crappy, dirty and stinky houses which we see sometimes on our market? Foreclosed houses? Abandoned houses? "No picture" houses? Or it's "just a job" to list them?

Isn't it important to show the most appealing sides of your personality by listing only the houses which you are comfortable with?
