After seven successful years in a bad real estate market, The Wells Team has a pretty good idea of what works when it comes to marketing and selling a home. What has worked for us: Pricing the home correctly from the start Putting some money into the home, if needed, prior to listing the home. This includes new carpet, paint, and yard work. Having very good pictures on the internet Being available to show a home at any time Flyers Those are just few of the many. However we have listings that have been sitting on the market for considerable length of time. For the most part these listings are very nice homes that are show ready. There becomes a point when our clients, in the above situation, grow incredibly frustrated with us because their home is still for sale. This is where the "pixie... 07/18/2012

One of the tools here on ActiveRain is it's great referral network. I have received business and closed deals from it. Here is why it is important to me. You can post on the network and when you get responses look at agents profiles here on ActiveRain. How a person blogs and what is in their profile gives you a good indication of how they will treat your valuable referral. I have given more thank 20 referrals out that I can think of. The major criteria I used was the profile of the other agent and their blog. Using the referral network is superior in my opinion to the option of blindly throwing out a lead to a company that has the same name as yours in another area. Now if you know who you are dealing with fine. But if you do not, use the network here at ActiveRain. I have never regrett... 12/19/2010
