There once was a dog who boasted to his canine friends that he could run faster than anyone. One day he chased a rabbit and failed to catch it. His friends ridiculed him. “All right,” said the dog, “I did not make good on my boast. But remember, the rabbit was running for his life and I was only running for my dinner.”Incentive is all-important in motivation.

this property? If yes, at what price?

6 Truths About Today’s Marketplace That Every Home Seller Needs To Know

Truth #1: Buyers buy after “shopping around”. In their search for the best buy they are comparing your property to the others currently on the market.

Truth #2: Sellers control the pricing and sale ability of their homes but buyers control VALUE. A property is worth what the market (buyers) will pay.


Truth #3: If a property sits on the market for more than a few weeks it gets shop worn (stale…like an old donut). Price it right in the beginning while it is fresh and buyer interest is at its peak.


Truth #4: Most properties must be sold three (3) times…First…to the real estate agents who have the buyers.

If they don’t see it as a good value, (a WOW!) they may not show it.

Second…to the buyers. If they don’t see it as an attractive offering, (a WOW!) they’ll look elsewhere.

Third…to the lender who will make the loan and the lender’s appraiser. If this group doesn’t see the value…no loan.


Truth #5: What it means if…No showings: Agents don’t see your offering as

worthy of showing to their buyers. Or, buyers themselves aren’t interested enough to look.

No Offers: Buyers don’t see enough value to even negotiate or try to buy.


Truth #6: Overpriced properties actually help well-priced properties sell.
