FREE DVD Pricing Your home to sell	5/10/2008 9:36 PM
FREE DVD - Pricing Your Home to Sell By Michelle Shelton If you have had your home listed and you just don't know why it didn't sell, it could and most likely is your price. I know it is not what you want to hear. I know it is a bummer. It is not ideal. If you have a life threatenting illness do you want to go to a physician that tells you everything is grand and sends you on your way with some sugar pills? Of course not! Why not hire a REALTOR that will tell you the truth? Save yourself some money and get your home priced right TODAY. The longer you wait, the more you will lose. If you bought your home within the last couple of years....you better stay put. Just like a garden, some years are good and some are bad. It doesn't mean you quit gardening, does it? Of course not!!! Whenever there is opportunity to make big money, there is going to be the risk of losing big money. I couldn't understand why the investors were buying and buying in the high market. All the investors "I" know want to buy in a depressed market and sell in the high market. This makes more sense. Arizona has always had their fair share of armchair investors...now a lot of them are losing their behinds. Greed can do that. If you are looking to SELL your home...not simply list it. Please call and we will send you out a DVD called, Pricing Your Home to Sell. This DVD will educate you on how your home should be priced and why. 480-626-0312. Looking to buy...........??? Now is the time. Check out all listings on the MLS mapping out for you on a Valley map. www.mapazhomes.com Posted by Michelle Shelton at 3:40 PM 0 comments Subscribe to: Posts (Atom) Michelle's Monthly Reading List Finding Noel Five Wishes Life's Golden Ticket Path to Liberty The Traveler's Gift Think and Grow Rich
This is why your home hasn't sold!	5/10/2008 9:28 PM
This is why your home hasn't SOLD yet By Michelle Shelton So, your home hasn't sold. Why do you think that is? Have you ever sat on a three legged stool that wobbled? What if you took one of the legs out completely? If you didn't have your feet firmly planted, it would not stand at all, right? This is the sellers current market. Leg #1 is Condition....your home better be in stellar condition. It should have great curb appeal, great inside appeal and smell like a candle store. It should also be easy for a potential buyer to see....if you have pets, make sure they are locked somewhere so a buyer can come in at any time. Leg #2 is Marketing....if your home is not being properly marketed, you will miss the sale. This doesn't mean spending tons of money in the luxury home magazines or anything like that....of course exposure is always good. Even if ads drive traffic to your listing agent, there is an advantage to that. The number one most powerful marketing tool agents have is the MLS. The photos better be kept fresh and the description too! It should read like it is already the buyers home. Leg #3 is Price.....this is the biggy folks. Even a crummy home will sell if it is priced low enough. If I were going to sell my home in today's market, I would price it about $100,000 less than my nearest competitor and I guarantee that there would be a lot of showings. Showings are key. If there isn't anyone walking through to see your home, there isn't going to be an offer.So now you have the magic fairy dust...sprinkle it around and call us to get your home sold....or not. Lastly, make sure you get a copy of Pricing Your Home to Sell...we will loan you a copy if you promise to send it back in the SASE we send you. Pop the DVD in and get an education before you price your greatest asset too high! Go to www.thosemasterminds.comand request your FREE copy today.Thanks for taking time to check us out....when there is opportunity to earn your business, please know it is highly valued. -Michelle Shelton, Owner, AZ Masetermind Group
What are homes in your neighborhood selling for?	5/10/2008 1:37 PM
Check out other listings in YOUR neighborhood. You are welcome to use our mapping tool online to view homes in any neighborhood...it is a good idea to watch your neighborhood if you are thinking of selling in the future. This is a pretty cool tool. They aren't up to speed with horse property quite yet....oh they are on there, they just can be sorted out very easily. Unfortunately, we can't seem to get them to do what we would like to do and that is make horse property neighborhoods searchable with a small box at the bottom. Until then, feel free to check out the neighborhoods you want to watch!http://www.mapazhomes.com/ Thanks for stopping! Michelle Shelton
