Real Estate Corner…
Q. Why do some homes sell in days when others take months or don’t sell
at all
?
A.
When sellers or their real estate agent overlook any of the important
ingredients of a successful sale, a home can linger on the market. Here are
three reasons why a home doesn’t sell quickly:
1. Asking price is too high.
When a home first comes on the market, the list
price must be at or near the market value so buyers see it as a good value
and put in an offer. If you would like to know your home’s current value, I
will gladly conduct a
Maximum Home Value Audit
. I conduct this in-
depth analysis for no charge to identify your home’s highest possible value.
2. Poor marketing plan.
Most real estate agents will do nothing more than
put the house in the MLS. When I am hired to sell a home, I use a
28 Step
Home Marketing Plan
to reach more potential buyers in the first few
weeks after a home is listed for sale.
3. Home is not staged properly.
A buyer wants to buy a home they can
imagine living in with their family. If the house is not staged or it’s done
incorrectly, buyers may lose interest and move on to other homes. Get the
facts on how to stage your properly by requesting my Free Consumer Guide
“4-Steps To Stage Your Home For A Fast Sale.”

Guess who won last month’s Trivia Question? I’m pleased to announce
the lucky winner of last month’s quiz. And the winner is…drum roll please:
Tom Padden of Santa Monica was the first to correctly answer my quiz
question.
What did the creator of Scrabble, Alfred Mosher Butts, use as a
reference to set the distribution of letters for the game?
a) Webster’s Dictionary b) New York Times
c) Encyclopedia Britannica d) Life Magazine
The answer is b) New York Times. Butts studied the front page of the
New York Times to determine the relative frequency of letters in the original
Scrabble game. He tweaked it by only including four “S’s” to make the game
harder and limit plurals. So, let’s move on to
this
month’s trivia question.
What is the largest denomination note ever printed?
