NEW! Real Estate Agent and Author Releases New Book “UpSell Your Home in Any Market” & Special 99 Point Marketing Plan
SPECIAL EXCERPT
Many home sellers are mislead by the media, websites, and real estate professionals. Their finances and families suffer. To avoid this you need to understand the truth that almost no one else wants you to know…
1. The home value statistics on websites like Zillow are inaccurate. “Price Estimates” even by professionals can be worse.
2. Today 45.6% of homes in our market do NOT sell. (Only 54.4% do.)
3. Of the 54.4% of homes that do sell, most go through more than 3 price reductions.
(Basically, YOU are doing all the work in marketing your home by lowering the price, not your agent.)
4.The average Days on Market (DOM) that almost every agent uses is inaccurate. Right now, the MLS says the DOM in Montgomery County is 98 days. The TRUE DOM is 215 days.
5. Of the homes that do sell, most sell for 12% Less than the original sales price.
If your Home is listed at $300,000 – poof! You just lost $36,000 and suffered 215 days of stress, people tramping through your home, and scrambling to empty your closets every time a tire kicker “buyer” – doesn’t buy.
There are 5 Reasons why home sellers are mislead into losing thousands of dollars and months of time. Click Here to Find Out Why
