I spent hours researching real estate agents and pricing our home...I am convinced that our home sold in two hours because I had done my homework. The hours of research had paid off.

[Our real estate agent] offered to sweeten the deal by accepting a lower commission and represent both us and the buyer. Knowing what I know now, the equivalent of a submarine diving alarm should have sounded.

Choose a real estate agent who has the tenacity to make any contact, and learn all that is evolving in the market place. If my agent had not been vigilant, I might still own the unit.

If the seller can afford major repairs, then they should complete them; it can only enhance the value of the home. The average buyer is not looking to sink a ton of money into a home right off the bat.

Our buyer had us over a barrel. Having a realtor on our side of the transaction at this point suddenly seemed like a very good idea.
