Who is your Sales professional?   Every real estate market has hundreds or even thousands of real estate agents in their respective board. Just like “no two people are alike,” “no two real estate agents are alike!” Every real estate agent has different ways of communicating, how responsive they are, how they negotiate, their energy level, and many other characteristics that differentiate one agent from another.

Both their budget as well as mastery of  negotiation & marketing makes such a huge difference.  What is the Marketing  Plan?  According to the National Association of Realtor's, 92% of home buyers use the internet for their home search.

Understanding The FHA Short Sale A homeowner may be eligible for an FHA short sale if the hardship of seller is determined by the HUD. The government has its involvement in short sale so almost all the FHA short sale falls under the Housing and Urban Development guidelines. A short sale may be tricky and confusing to understand for agent and sellers.  Below given tips may be helpful to understand the FHA short sale.

However, there are several reasons to sell your home sooner rather than later. Here are five of those reasons. 1. The Most Serious Buyers Are Out Now Most people realize that the housing market is hottest from April through June. The most serious buyers are well aware of this and, for that reason, come out in early spring in order to beat the heavy competition. These buyers are  ready ,  willing  and  able  to buy…and are in the market right now! 2. There Is Less Competition Now Housing supply always grows from the spring through the early summer.
