Working With Your Realtor

The days of just putting up your listing and letting the realtor take care of things are long gone. Maybe during the days of a sellers market that tactic worked, but not anymore. If you rely solely on your realtor to get your house sold, you are in serious trouble. But why? Well, this article is going to try to explain JUST why. Hope you're taking notes.

Probably the biggest reason all comes down to economics...primarily the kind of economics that affects your realtor in the wallet. See, like it or not, during down times, houses don't sell as quickly. Heck, you're lucky if you can get your home sold for anywhere near what you want, if at all. Because of this, realtors don't spend as much time with your "old" listing as they do with the newer listings. Once you've hit that magic "30 Day Doomsday" period, you might as well forget about getting much help from your realtor at all. I'm sure you've probably noticed this.

So, you need to work WITH your realtor. How? Actually, it's quite simple. While they're out chasing the newer listings, you still have a house to sell and you still want to show your house to prospective buyers. Well, why not take matters into your own hands? What do I mean? When somebody shows interest in your home, why not show them around yourself? After all, who knows your house better than YOU?

Another thing you can do is to help your realtor by placing your own ads. Look, you're talking about selling a home for hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more. Certainly you can afford to place your own ad...and not one of those stodgy things that nobody is going to read. And no negative ads either. Telling people that you "must sell" your house isn't putting YOU in the driver's seat.

And yes, you CAN put yourself there. All you need is a better mindset. In my signature is a great book that has a totally out of the box way to sell a home even in a buyers market and do it in 21 days or less. I wish I had thought of this a long time ago. It is pure genius.

Anyway, work with your realtor. You're the one who wants to get YOUR house sold, and nobody is going to care more than you do.

Sell Your House Yourself

This economy is driving a lot of home owners to drink. Falling real estate prices have created a buyers market where it's almost impossible to get a decent price for your home. Add to that the insult of Realtor's fees and it's enough to make you just want to pull your hair out of your head.

Well, there IS a better way. How? Sell your house yourself, that's how. Oh I know, you're probably thinking that it's too hard. How would you go through all that leg work that the Realtor goes through for you? For that matter, how would you even start? Where would you start? Let's face it, most people don't know squat about selling their home. And the sad part is...they should.

Why do I say that? Think about it. This is where YOU live. Who knows more about your home than you do? Can a Realtor point out the fine points of your home to a potential buyer the way YOU can? If I had to talk to a buyer about my home, I could do it for hours. After all, this is where I live...the place I love. Nobody can put the heart and soul into selling my home the way I can...nobody.

But there's still a problem. The technical side of selling your own home. That's where people really get tripped up. And sadly, there are very few really good guides out there on selling your home. Well, I've found one.

Peter Iannelli found the answer to this problem of selling your home in a buyer's market. It all comes down to buyer's mindset, which is a lot different today than it was back in the good old days when you just had to list your house and get anything you wanted for it. Today, what you have to do is develop a positive buyers mindset.

Peter has figured out how to do that as well as a lot of other things in this very compact (30 pages) no nonsense book on selling your own house. He leaves no stone unturned and I have no doubts that after reading it, you'll be able to sell your house no matter how bad things get. But you MUST read the whole thing. Don't skip over ANYTHING because it is ALL important.
