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.

Another great post by Joan. Bill  When a homeowner invites me into their home for a listing presentation, I go through the entire process and let them know what to expect.    Over the years, some homeowners have had questions during this presentation, which of course I incorporate into my presentation.   When I leave their home, they should know exactly what to expect during the transaction. One thing I make sure to let them know --- don't talk to the buyer's agent, or anyone stopping in front of your home while out mowing the grass! I let them know, I can ask a homeowner a question in a way, they don't know I am fishing for information.    Most seasoned agents know also.    So, just don't talk to anyone, have them call me!  Afterall, I DO answer my phone! I would rather be able to mane...

If Your House Could Talk… What Would It Say About You?Alright, let’s have some fun. If your house could spill all your secrets, what would it say? You know, those little quirks and habits you try to hide when company comes over. Here are a few I can imagine:• The Overreactor – ‘She screams every time a spider shows up, like it’s auditioning for a horror movie.’• The Forgetful One – ‘He never remembers where the light switches are, even though he’s lived here for years.’• The Midnight Snacker – ‘I’ve seen this person eat ice cream straight from the carton at 2 a.m. more times than I can count.’• The ‘Just One More’ Decorator – ‘She swore she wouldn’t buy another throw pillow, and yet, here we are.’• The Cleaning Hypocrite – ‘He’ll vacuum right before guests arrive but lives like a tornad...

Open House Pet Peeves (That Make Realtors Cringe)Alright, let’s get into open house pet peeves — the little things that drive every agent a little crazy. If you’ve ever hosted an open house, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about:• Shoes on the Carpet – Especially after a rainy day. There’s nothing like a muddy footprint on a freshly vacuumed rug.• Dripping Wet Umbrellas – Because, of course, they’ll shake it off right at the front door.• Sticky-Fingered Toddlers – Cute, but those little hands can destroy a pristine white couch in seconds.• The ‘Test Everything’ Guy – The person who insists on opening every cabinet, testing every faucet, and flicking every light switch like they’re conducting a home inspection.• The Unannounced Critic – The visitor who loudly complains about the pai...
