A year ago ago Lady's Island was a dream for sellers. A home owner could reasonably expect for her home to sell in two months or less.
Since the market is flooded with homes now savvy sellers are interviewing realtors who look at hard cold numbers and know how to price homes. If you have to sell even in a slow market there are ways to sell your home in an efficient manner bringing the highest net possible in the shortest time possible.
Your goals as a seller are simple. You want to sell your home for the highest amount possible in the shortest time possible,
There are only two things to consider in this crucial market . One: Make your home as appealing as possible. Two: Find out what other homes are listed for in your neighborhood and lower your price so it's the lowest one in your community if at all possible.
Also when you hire a realtor ask very pointed questions about where and how they market homes and land.
If you don't have to sell and will have to bring money to the closing table consider other options including renting or entering into a contract with a renter with an option to buy.

About Susan Madison:
A believer in the tenets of customer service, Susan's motto is, "It's All About You" A renaissance realtor, Madison has taken the traditional sales techniques and tactics out of her service and practices proactive service. Her background in training and her belief in people to make good decisions based on their needs (and not hers!) allows her to take an approach of providing her clients and perspective clients with all the information they need to make informative decisions. Susan will not use sales tactics, scripts or high pressure motivating. She believes it is her job to enable clients to empower themselves. Her passion for real estate began with her career as a real estate specialist with the Department of Housing and Urban Development where she worked as a real estate specialist. It was this position that developed a keen sense of what makes a good investment whether it is from an investor stand point or a purchaser who plans to live in his or her home. Susan focuses on making sure each client walks away with the best possible investment, whether they are a first time home buyer, a second home buyer or an investor. While she understands and addresses the need of home buyers to buy a home they feel emotionally attached to, she takes the emotion out of the process by doing hours of homework looking at past sales and projective growth. Her service includes a free consultation in which she addresses several points to determine whether it is a good time to sell or buy, an estimate of what the seller or buyer will profit or invest and an estimate of the time they can expect to spend.
