My partner and I recently took a listing in Corona that was on the market for more than a year with another Realtor. Our closest work colleagues told us to refer it out, and to think twice about taking a listing in a neighborhood where at the time, according to the Press Enterprise, there were more than 700 foreclosures in Corona alone. We ended up getting the property into escrow in approximately 63 days against all odds. The purpose of my Blog is to emphasize that things can be sold in this difficult market and we need to start talking about them. Stories like these need to be told more often in the hopes of combating the negative press that's out there. Don't get discouraged! Sometimes going back to basics will sell the more difficult houses. The fact remains that a property in good ... 12/09/2007
