Bird Key Home - Under Contract

I am pleased to announce that my listing at 492 Partidge Circle went under contract a few weeks ago. It took 32 days to receive our contract. Not bad when the average days to contract for a Bird Key home in 2010 is 218 days. Of course, it is not done yet. You can never count on it until it is closed.

Tips to Selling Your Home

• A realistic asking price is absolutely crucial
• All of the marketing and advertising in the world will not sell an overpriced home or condo. Buyers look at several properties before purchasing. Extensive advertising might get a buyer in the door but that same buyer will look at your competition and will end up buying the better value.
• Be the best value and you stand a good chance of selling
• The condition of your home is very important. Before you put it on the market clean, clean, clean and fix, fix, fix. Paint when necessary - that is an easy and cheap improvement.
• Hire a great Realtor. It will save you plenty of headaches and might be the difference between a sale and no sale.
• I have never heard a buyer say, "this is a fabulous home....I absolutely love it...it is perfect for me but you don't have a good property brochure so I won't buy it." - Don't get fixated on the little details that don't matter as much. Focus on the most important things - price and condition.
