Fact:  Buying & selling of real estate is down 40% from 2005 - all agents are not created equal...

Sellers:  That means you are in a beauty contest and a price war if your property has been or will be up for sale.  Your home (for sale) will be highly scrutinized by Buyers, as compared to other homes for sale and the amenities being offered... not just in your town, but surrounding towns as well.   In some of our local areas, there is over a 3 year supply of inventory currently on the market.

If your home was previously listed, where was your home advertised?  Did you know 84% of today's Buyers are finding properties on the internet?  Did you know they really don't care to look at a video home tour?  Did you know they really want to see 25 on-line awesome pictures of your home?

If your home is a Luxury property, check out how Trump, Stewart, Warren Buffett, Ralph Lauren buy real estate as stated in the Daily Herald Sunday newspaper article.  Then, critique how your property was being marketed.  If your agent just inserted a list of amenities, well... I'm afraid that marketing style doesn't really speak to a specific target market... Buyers buy on emotion & value - not from a list.
