Successful Real Estate Agents have a simple yet profound sales secret

It has been proven that the most successful Realtors are more service and client focused. 

If you are a real estate agent ask yourself these questions: Do you use social media to brag about your latest real estate listing or how many deals you have done? When meeting with clients do you talk about what a great salesperson you are or are you more focused on their needs?

Attention Real Estate Sellers – What is your home really worth?

Zillow estimates are not precise

Get a Realtor’s Evaluation of your property for accuracy

As a real estate seller or real estate buyer you have probably viewed the Z-estimates Zillow or Trulia on their website.

This evaluation is called Automated Valuation Method (AVM). Essentially, it is computer generated software that reaches out for publicly available data and then uses that data to offer a suggested value—a quick result which does not involve a human being who has analyzed the actual data. The soft wear has never been in the neighborhood, nor on that particular street nor inside the home.

Why Downsizing Your Home May Be the Best Decision You’ll Ever Make

downsizing your homeDeciding to move is already an emotional process, but throw in the fact that you’re considering downsizing and it’s likely to add an extra element of anxiety to the mix. But considering we’re living larger in the U.S. by an upwards of approximately 1,000 square-feet since 1973 — and space per person has doubled — you’ve got to ask yourself, how much space do you really need?
