He also writes that buyers will pass up anything with any hint of imperfection; they want the best yard, best location, not backing up to a busy street, etc. He also advises:
“1. Fix up the house the best you can.
2. List it for an attractive price.
3. Start lowering it within two weeks.
4. Keep lowering it until you find what the market will bear.”
Definitely check out his website, and if you are not locked into a realtor, give Jim a call. He’s one of the few good realtors out there: honest, understands the bubble, truly wants to help the buyers and sellers, smart, hard worker, and very nice.
