Perfect home depends on your stage in life   - - By Ilyce R. Glink - Inman NewsThere's a clean line down the middle, but it isn't about being Democrat or Republican. The real estate world is separated into buyers and sellers, and these days, many sellers are looking rather enviously across the aisle, hoping to switch sides.The reason for sellers' envy is pretty clear -- almost everywhere in the country, it's a buyer's market: There are more homes for sale than there are qualified buyers to purchase them. Most buyers have a cornucopia of options, and their agents are helping them make the most of their moment in the sun.But while the going seems good, to avoid getting burned in the long run, buyers need to make smart moves along the way. You can truly be a buyer in the strongest buyer's... 02/28/2007

The better your home looks the easier it is to sell! That`s my motto when doing a listing presentation!   Last month we took a listing in Miramar, Florida that was listed with another Real Estate company for 5 months. The seller was discouraged and very upset that they had only 2 showings in that period of time.  They came to us as a recommendation from our past client.The home is situated on a beautiful lake.It`s appearance needs some work! The home looked worn! The landscaping was overgrown, the exterior needed to be pressure cleaned, the carpet needs a good cleaning. In short the home needed to be rejuvenated.Appearance is everything!    When I spoke with the owners they looked very confused. The other Realtor they hired, never mentioned anything to them!They took the listing, never ... 02/25/2007
