These are good questions and – lucky you – the answers are right here within the pages of ActiveRain, the top real estate social network on the planet.

Effective holiday marketing ensures your home appeals even during a busy season.Have a super fantastic week!Joe Jackson, Realtor-KWCP The holidays are a time to regroup, rest, spend time with family, and, if lucky, travel to a bucket-list location. But for military homeowners, the holidays can also take a different direction: an off-season home sale. Challenging circumstances like a PCS move, pending military retirement, or even the ups and downs of the housing market often dictate an untraditional home-selling timeframe. Take comfort in knowing that a holiday selling season typically has less inventory, which equals fewer home seller competitors. Scarce housing inventory offers an advantage to sellers because there's less competition. If you wait until the snow thaws to hoist your "For...

Should You Counter a Lowball Offer on Your Home? Here’s Why the Answer is Often Yes!” When you receive a lowball offer on your home, it can feel disappointing. However, countering—even on a low offer—can often lead to a positive outcome. Here’s why you should consider responding rather than walking away. Why Countering a Lowball Offer Makes Sense Keeps Negotiations OpenA lowball offer doesn’t have to be the end of the conversation. By countering, you show that you’re willing to negotiate, which can lead to a more reasonable offer. It’s often easier to work with an existing buyer than to start fresh. Shows Seriousness and FlexibilityCountering an offer sends a message to the buyer that you’re serious about selling but still value the property. This can prompt buyers to rethink their posi...

Did You Know? Selling a Home Means Negotiating 3 Times!Selling your home isn’t just about accepting an offer and moving on—it involves multiple rounds of negotiations. Each stage comes with its own surprises and challenges, so understanding the process can help you feel more prepared and confident.1️⃣ The First Negotiation: The ContractThis is where the journey begins! When you receive an offer, you’ll negotiate on key terms like: Price: Are you getting your asking price or something close? Closing Date: Does the buyer’s timeline work for you? Buyer’s Closing Costs: Will you contribute to these? This stage sets the foundation for the rest of the transaction and ensures both parties are aligned.2️⃣ The Second Negotiation: Home InspectionOnce the buyer conducts a home inspection, they may...

  Advantages of Selling Your Pace, Florida Home in the Autumn Months Autumn in Pace, Florida, offers a unique and often underestimated opportunity for homeowners looking to sell. While many assume spring is the ideal season, the fall months present distinct advantages that can help you secure a successful sale. First, autumn provides a less crowded market. Many sellers list their homes in spring and summer, increasing competition. By selling in the fall, your home can stand out to motivated buyers actively searching. Fewer listings mean your property gets more attention. Additionally, shopping in autumn is often more severe for buyers. They may be looking to move before the holiday season or need to relocate for work before the end of the year. These buyers are focused and ready to make...
