Home Selling

It's been said that the only thing in real estate that is more confusing than purchasing a home is selling one – especially if you've never done it before. Where to start? Who to turn to?


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.


Within our content library you'll find more millions of articles, written by the pros, on home selling topics like how to choose a listing agent, the questions to ask before hiring one, how to stage the home and create curb appeal. What happens if the appraisal comes in lower than the amount the buyer has offered? Is an offer from a buyer with a conventional loan approval better than one from an FHA buyer?


We have the answers here at ActiveRain and chances are great that if you can't find them now (which is hard to imagine!) you will find them tomorrow or the next day because our experts add hundreds of new posts every day.


Only ActiveRain gives you the chance to read news and advice from professionals who not only talk the talk, but walk the walk – the boots on the ground every day in the real estate industry.


Expert real estate advice, free for the reading – you gotta love that!

Real Estate sales are always a big topic of interest and for 10 + years homes sales had been increasing steadily but ever since the pandemic sales have gone to another level. With 2022 in the books, it is a good time to look back at last years home sales.Find Your Johnson County Dream Home HereHampton Place has always been a great place to live and even after interest rates started to rise last fall, the sales in Hampton Place remained strong. While the total number of homes SOLD in 2022 was substantially less that 2021 (20 vs 36) it wasn't due to lack of interest but a lack of willing sellers. The average sales price rose almost 5% and on average SOLD in 5 days or less. Hampton Place also smashed the previous record with a $660,000 home sale.As we start 2023, sales have remained strong...

This is an excellent post with great information. Thanks for sharing it.Have a super fantastic week!Joe Jackson, Realtor-KWCP The past few years have been gloomy for business owners, with the pandemic slowing down or even permanently shutting down businesses. Attempts to persist during these uncertain times will likely end up in vain, with owners struggling to balance income and costs. In this situation, business owners can opt to sell their assets through the Fresno auction company. Also known as business liquidation, all assets are sold off in order to settle the company’s debts.

For my first entry, I am choosing directly from the list of suggestions in Patricia’s Challenge Post.  Buyer's Agent presents an offer and does not fill in all the blanks.Before I dive into this, I need to say that this has happened 100% of the time with all offers received on my listings.  Dare I say, this is a huge peeve of mine.Describe the scenario. In this situation, I am the listing agent. During this time the market was still a relatively hot seller market with multiple offers over the list price. This particular property was in a “highly desirable area” with buyers competing for homes.  Who is involved?  Listing Broker (Kathleen Daniels), Out of State Seller (name intentionally omitted), and a parade of people masquerading as professionals in the real estate business. What happe...
