6 Part Series: Uncovering Selling Myths...

I'd like to share with you some selling Myths - whether you are selling a home today or in the near future, hopefully these tips will help you:

Myth #1: You should always price your home high and negotiate down.
Truth: Pricing too high can be as bad as pricing too low. If you list too high, you'll miss out on buyers looking in the price range where your home should be. Offers may not even come in, because buyers who are interested in your home are scared off by the price and won't even take the time to look at it. By the time you correct the price and list your home at its fair market value, you will have lost that window of opportunity when your home draws the most attention from the public and real estate agents; i.e. the first 30 days that it is on the market. A well-trained real estate agent who looks out for your best interests will consult with you on your home’s fair market value and different pricing strategies for the current market.

Check back tomorrow for Myth #2 (if you can't wait, then feel free to email me via my website, http://www.uzi4azhomes.com and I'll be happy to get you the rest sooner...)
