Whether you decide to sell your home yourself, or hire a real estate professional to get the job done for you, there is not room for guesswork today.

The "old fashioned" ways of selling a home that worked back in the 70's and 80's can stall out… or worse… rob you of profits that are rightfully yours. Getting the highest price for your home today involves a thorough knowledge of the market, so you must negotiate carefully in your favor. The "right" knowledge is absolutely essential.

Following Are Costly Mistakes Many Sellers Make That Can Add Up To Thousands Of Dollars Being Lost Unknowingly When You Sell Your Home… Or Cause It To Not Sell At All

• Not obtaining a "total picture" of the entire market before you start to sell.
  
  
• Not getting accurate information about how long it will actually take to get your home sold.
  
  
• Not understanding the huge difference between "Total Market Inventory" and your local neighborhood and particular style of home.
  
  
• Using a standard comparative market analysis of similar style properties to set the sale price of your home.
  
  
• Not understanding the five-step sequence of how buyers really buy homes.
  
  
• Paying for ineffective advertising.
  
  
• Not knowing the simple steps of how to prepare your home to look (and feel) like a "model home" so that it has the highest probability of attracting immediate interest (and top dollar) from buyers.
  
  
• Not insisting that interviewing agents verify their pricing recommendations for your home.
  
  
• Letting a real estate company "buy your listing" with a temporarily inflated sales price.
  
  
• Not setting up bridge financing if you are on a time deadline.
  
  
• Not fully evaluating whether you should sell your home yourself! (It might be to your advantage to sell your home yourself.)
  

You Have A Right To Hear The Facts

When it comes to selling your home, you should be the one who decides what is in your best interest:

1. Whether you should sell your home yourself.
   
   
2. Whether to hire a real estate professional to handle the sale for you at a cost of 7% to 8% commission.
   
   
3. Whether to hire a consultant to put your home on the Multiple Listing Service and give you advice for under $700 total.
   

Gone are the easy money days of the 70's and 80's when anybody could buy and sell a house by just listing it on the market. Selling any home today involves greater focus, more financial precision and marketing smarts because buyers are much more discriminating about what they buy.

Getting The Highest Price For Your Home Today Involves A Systematic Approach

Today's buyers have a tremendous number of homes from which they can choose. Even if you don't have to sell, you're forced to compete with other sellers who do have to sell, and are willing to cut their price to get a sale.

When buyers are as nervous as they are these days about the economy, every buyer counts! There is a systematic, eight-step system that gets results!

There are eight financial and marketing steps in the home selling process that you should thoroughly understand... whether you decide to sell your home yourself or hire a real estate professional to do it for you. This eight-step system is what's needed today to get your home sold for the highest price... on time... without hype or hassle!

The 8 Critical Steps Of Effective Home Marketing:

1. Understanding "Total Market" conditions (not just your immediate neighborhood).
   
   
2. Accurately appraising your home's value (not just an old Comparative Market Analysis).
   
   
3. Setting the right price for your home (by setting the right price range first).
   
   
4. Calculating your bottom-line net profit (using offer price, not list price).
   
   
5. Advertising and marketing your home (not with same old, boring ads everyone else uses).
   
   
6. Preparing your home for sale. (Knowing how to make buyers instantly attracted. )
   
   
7. Qualifying buyers and negotiating contract offers (to get your price).
   
   
8. Getting financing and closing your sale. (Avoid costly mistakes that can derail your sale.)
   

By systematically executing these steps, you will get better results. When you decide to sell your home yourself or hire a real estate agent, you should definitely expect detailed information and straight answers, not "sales talk" or hype that convinces you into going with the company or agent who simply says they're the biggest, or the best, or whatever, to get your business.

Your home is one of your biggest financial and emotional investments. You should not expect to leave any element to guesswork or chance.

Selling Your Home Systematically Makes A Big Difference For Your Peace Of Mind

Real estate agent Karen Abrams gave Charlie and Donna a big hug as they left the closing room at the title company.

Charlie and Donna were as excited as two kids getting a favorite toy for their birthday. This was the moment they had been waiting for. The day when they would be able to move into a brand new home in a beautiful area that had the best schools and was just minutes away from where they both worked!

Donna and Charlie couldn't have been happier. And, the best part was that they made the decision to move and sold their previous home, all in the course of one month! Even they were shocked at how fast the house sold, especially when compared to how many homes were listed for sale in their area and how long many of them had been sitting.

Before choosing an agent to sell their house, Donna and Charlie decided to interview several Real Estate Agents. (They toyed with the idea of selling it themselves, but decided to talk to some real estate agents first, "to see what they had to say.")

The first four agents that came over all sounded like a broken record. They all said the same old things like...

• "We're the biggest company."
  
  
• "We sell more homes in your area than anyone."
  
  
• "I'll work harder for you than anyone else."
  
  
• "We have the most aggressive marketing plan in the world."
  
  
• "No one has more resources than we do, to sell your home fast."
  
  
• "I'm the top agent in the area."
  
  

And on, and on, and on... Donna and Charlie were less than impressed!
When Karen came over, she told them that she was going to show them an eight-step sequence on how to sell their home quickly, at the highest price the market would pay. And, she said that these eight steps could be done by her or them, if they chose to sell the house themselves.

Donna And Charlie Almost Fell Over!

A real estate agent teaching them how to sell their home themselves! Donna and Charlie tried it themselves for a few weeks, with Karen's help. Eventually, they listed the house with Karen, using her Super Save Plan where they got Multiple Listing Service coverage for only $695. Within three weeks, they were the happy recipients of a signed and accepted contract on the property.
