The Unique Real Estate Blog

There are many homeowners who would like to sell their homes by themselves, thus saving money on commission. But who can you trust to tell you the truth about the how’s, the why’s, and the risks? Nine times out of ten, you really can’t trust someone who is trying to sell you something (that’s probably more like 99 out of 100, truth be told). The tough part is that those people are the ones who are most well-versed in real estate. At the risk of becoming unpopular with my Realtor peers, I’m going to follow my teacher heart and explain home sales to you honestly.

Let’s face it, it’s a hard cruel world out there. The real estate market is definitely seen better days. The worse part about this is that if you are trying to sell your home by owner losing hope isn’t that difficult to do. No one blames you for trying to reap as much profit on your home but it sure feels like it with agents calling you and buyers acting as if you owe them the house for free! It’s not the same market we saw a few years ago but all is not lost.

Should you Have an Open House.

Times are different now. With the digital age we now live in it makes no sense to me, as a real estate broker owner, to hold an open house. It seems to me there is more to risk than to gain. Some people will talk photos and video clips from small camera or cell phones. With these videos and photos they will either plan a later robbery on your home or sell this data to someone who will.
