Thank you for all your advice. There were so many foreclosures in our neighborhood that resales were being overlooked. After two years on the market, our house finally sold this week. Now two more homes in the neighborhood are going to foreclosure. I have never missed a payment, sent one late, etc. even for the last two years making two payments. It is not easy buying the American dream. SO I'm glad that nightmare is over.

Hi Christ,

I live in Douglasville and feel your pain. It is a beauty contest and a price war you need a full time Realtor who has a comprehensive marketing and pricing plan. They need to show you all your local stats from you neighborhood to high school district of sales and pendings in last 90 days. Just like a appraiser they wwill have to work out trends and sales price $ per Sq ft and compare you home. Then they need a braceted, trigger point sales price. This will ensure 1-2 showings per week or a contract in the first 30 days. They then need to keep you informed and show you stats of your homes marketing and online exposure. If this does not happen the marketing is not correct or the market has shifted and you price is incorrect.

now the other end of the equation, interest rates are low but rising, buyers pricing is at a 10 year low, this is the chance to buy your dream home or a homme with a large ammount of equity that can offsset any loss on your present home.
Sound like a lot of work??? A top Producing agent has the tools and the knowledge of the market to do this, if you have any questions I would loive to take a look at your home and see if I can help you.

Exposure - Appeal - Price....if any one is out of whack you will sit. You have to be realistic, you might have to consider much less than you want/need.

Hi Christi,
An excellent price and excellent marketing plan are key right now, rates are down and folks are shopping!
Please let me know if I may be of assistance.

Have you considered leasing the home you want to sale.
