The fall buying and selling season is just around the corner. See if one of these articles could make a difference. Enjoy!
Winning a Bidding War
Most real estate markets across the country in 2018 have been characterized as heavily favoring sellers. Buyers are often faced with the challenging of being up against multiple offers on the home they really want. In fact, most buyers have been in the position where they have lost out on at least one house they really wanted. This has caused many buyers to ask their real estate agent how to win a bidding war on a house. After you have lost out on a few houses it makes sense why a buyer would want to do all they can not to have it happen again. The article at Maximum Real Estate Exposure offers concise tips on how to dramatically increase the chances of coming out on top.
Going Green to Save Money

John Cunningham has been writing a series of articles on how to save money around the home by going green. Take a look at his exceptional tips found at Phoenix Real Estate and Homes. You no doubt learn a thing or two in the process!
Buying Real Estate as a Single Parent
Buying a home as a couple is challenging. Buying a house as a single parent adds a whole different level of stress. In his latest article, Paul Sian provides some great advice for those who don't have a significant other and are needing a place to live. Paul starts his article by explaining how important it is to have a fantastic real estate agent in your corner when buying a home. I could not agree more! In an industry where just about anyone can get a real estate license, it makes sense to search out and hire the best local pro you can find. Paul follows up with more solid advice on buying when you're single.
The Need For Professional Real Estate Photography
In the real estate industry you can usual spot a pro from a bonehead just by their photography. A professional real estate agent knows the importance of photography. On the other hand many lazy agents do whatever they can to avoid spending any money. This is not the kind of real estate agent you want when selling your home! The photography on your home is your first showing. The buyer is either going to put their nose up in the air and move along to the next home or schedule an appointment. As Kevin discusses you never ever want to discount the importance of your homes photos. They speak volumes in getting the most money possible for your property.
Responding to Low Ball Offers
When real estate markets favor sellers it is rare to see a low ball offer. Most buyers understand when the market favors the seller they must do whatever they can if getting the home is their goal. One of the first things you will start to see if the local real estate market starts to favor buyers is low ball offers. Unfortunately, lots of buyers think that writing a low ball offer is the way to go. The buyer fears that if they don't start low they will be overpaying for the property. As Sharon Paxson points out, insulting a seller is never a good move if you really want to buy a particular home. Some sound advice - don't do it! These five articles all are jam packed with great content. If you are going to be buying or selling a home, have a look and see if you can glean a tip or two from them.
