Save The Commission
If you are thinking of selling your home some may suggest that you should save the commission and sell the home yourself. This route requires time to; manage the paperwork, take care of all the showings, pre-qualify the buyers managing the inspections and much more. 
With the upcoming changes in the offer to purchase—now 9 pages in length vs. the current 5 pages, you may want to consider talking with a professional who will walk you through these complex and at times difficult situations. With the changes in the appraisal rules this alone can cause any Realtor® headaches not to mention a homeowner who is going at this for the first time. If you would like to see what a professional offers prior to committing to an agent, feel free to contact me and ask for my Marketing Plan in writing. I explain in detail everything that will take place if you choose to use the services of a professional. Today, the home is still the single largest investment most people have and after 20 years of successfully assisting families I can honestly say that I have saved the would be For Sale By Owner, money, time and headaches. Get all the facts before you decide to sell on your own.

I admit that I’m a sucker for new technology. Never one for reading the directions, I usually tend to grasp the new gadget and try it out, expecting to fall into the “expert mode” by barraging those around me who have “superior knowledge” of the particular device with a steady stream of “How do I do this?” questions. This always poses the risk of a steep learning curve, but I’m an all in it, kind of gal. I had a Macintosh Quadra years ago that would capture VHS video onto your computer…very cool…so as to eliminate the ol’ glue stick process for photos, on real estate flyers. I carried around a purse size, hand held recorder to jog my memory of the most recent FSBO’s (For Sale By Owners). I couldn’t be bothered with pulling over and jotting down an address. I moved my way up into the “bag phone” (Now I’m dating myself), and ultimately the cell phone. I believe I’m on my 4th phone (recent purchase a Blackberry). I have more than one desktop pc and a very cool laptop, complete with a the wireless card.
