FSBO Mistakes and Why You Need a Seller's Agent Yesterday, I showed my buyers a home listed For Sale By Owner (FSBO). The owners live 8 hours away and have tenants renting their house. Two years ago, when the homeowners first moved they tried to sell their home on their own and didn't succeed. Their friend, who is a very nice person but not a real estate agent, is showing the house for them. The sellers want to save money by not hiring a Seller's Agent. They are willing to pay a commission to a buyer's agent, however. These are intelligent people but they are underestimating what is involved in selling a home, and the value of a Seller's Agent. I knew what this home had looked like when the homeowners lived here. I thought it was a good possibility for my clients. But, the home doesn't ... 04/11/2011

Million Dollar Homes Need to Look the Part! If your house is properly priced to sell at a million dollars or more in Sharon MA or Canton MA, it must be absolutely immaculate and in excellent condition! There may be parts of the country where a million dollars only gets you a small, out-of-date house. Around here, though, one million dollars or more still means the house needs to look good. Really good! I was in one of these high-priced homes earlier this week and noticed the beautiful moldings, marble floors, crystal chandeliers and...the stained, beige carpeting that covered the winding staircase and the second floor hallway. The listing agent asked me what I thought of the price and I said, "At this price, I think they need to have the carpeting cleaned to get the stains out. Otherwis... 03/30/2011

3rd Annual Sharon Friends of Conservation Wildlife Photo Contest I had just stepped out of my car in my driveway when something large walked by on the other side of my car. Two "somethings". Large and prehistoric looking. They were wild turkeys! These guys are big...around 4' tall! They give me the shivers the way they stalk through the yard. Now, granted, Sharon is a rural suburb, but it a far cry from the boondocks. I'm used to seeing deer eating the plants along my front walk, but wild turkeys are usually seen a little further away from the center of town than where I live. Of course, I overcame my fears and ran to get my camera! If I had gotten a clearer picture it would have been perfect for the 3rd Annual Sharon Friends of Conservation Wildlife Photo Contest.The purpose of the con... 03/30/2011
