Tips for selling your home. Part 1

I had some recent discussions about marketing homes and what makes the difference between languishing on the market and selling, between getting top dollar or getting less than may be possible.

Ultimately, we have to remember that purchasers have expectations based on tons of information. It may have been possible in the past, to hope that they looked at your house and fell in love and bought it, but today they do that with a comprehensive look at the value and expectations based on not just friends, but TV shows, tax records, computer valuation models, Twitter, Facebook, countless blogs and more.
