House selling or buying: Communication is the key
It you are using a real-estate agent, keep those lines of communication open. Some agents are not all the time upfront with the seller. For any number of reasons, the real-estate agent may keep potential problems to his or herself. They might not communicate the concerns they have.
In this type of circumstances, the seller might be wrongly led to believe that the property will sell. When in reality, the home seller could be waiting forever!
Both the seller and the real-estate agent have a responsibility to each other, to keep the lines of communication open. If the agent and the seller stop communicating, or worse still, start verbally abusing or blaming each other - the intended sale will be the victim.
Both the seller and the agent must stay focused on the goal - to get the best price in today's market.

Selling your home? Are you prepared to sell?
If deep down you don't expect your property to sell, then it might be a indication that you are just not prepared enough (or motivated enough) to make the sale happen.
If you don't feel positive enough to sell your house yourself, then you may be better off facing reality and listing your property with an agent... if you can find a good one.
This blog is designed to help you sell your house by yourself or with the help of a real estate agent, and if you do decide to list with an agent, by reading this blog you will be better informed and in a stronger position to make those all-important decisions.
If you're not fully prepared to sell your property yourself... don't even bother trying. Start interviewing agents.

Less than 10% of For-Sale-By-Owners will sell their homes without outside help
The vast majority (90%) of For-Sale-By-Owners that will sell their houses WITH outside help will do it with a real estate agent!!!
Of the 10% that do sell WITHOUT outside help, 60% will sell to someone they know, or to a relative.
If you are a For-Sale-By-Owner, don't get too depressed. Most of the ex-For-Sale-By-Owners are probably not well organized and have the wrong mindset. As a matter of fact, most fail to have a clearly defined plan of action (well... not all, some).
They don't attract enough potential buyers and by not having any serious buyers, they fail to get offers on their home. Many give it a less than really motivated go and then they give up after a couple of weeks. This can cause considerable stress within families and can damages relationships.
If you really want to do it by yourself, you must act differently than those who just put a small effort into it. So the first thing you should do is to Decide In Your Own Mind That You Can and Will Sell Your Home Yourself.
The key is to have the right mindset when you start. Understand exactly what you are doing, talk through the issues with your spouse and make the commitment. It's not that easy to sell your home. (Thats why real estate agents exists!)
