Main Line Pa Chester County Home Buyers Ask How Much Should I Offer?
Real Estate Buyers and Real Estate Sellers need a strong compass to guide them through today’s real estate market to smooth sailing and a successful settlement day. Two questions a buyer should ask? Is the property priced right or priced too high? How did the Sellers price their home?
Sellers may have listened to a real estate agent who over-valued the property in order to gain the listing. Commonly called “Buying the Listing”. It’s understandable that Sellers want the best price but it’s a common misunderstanding that a Realtor determines the price. The marketplace will always determine the price!
Buyers, Sellers and professional Realtor’s® will factor all 4 Major Points on the Pricing Compass: Location, Condition, Pricing and Marketing. The location is a factor that Read the rest of this entry »

Main Line Chester County Home Sellers Tip – 2 Words To Get SOLD? ~ “Bye, Bye!”
In my Consulting Role with Main Line Chester County Home Sellers, I suggest that my Sellers take the dog for a walk or have a cup of coffee with the neighbors and not be home for their property showings. Despite that fact that some Sellers and Buyers bond right away, the risks to the sale are much greater than the rewards when the Sellers are present during property showings.
