Hi Berde,

You have great advice from Diane Glander. I'm not sure how you or your previous agent came up with the list price before but I would definitely suggest that you price it realistically for today's market. As Diane suggested, price it not only below the competition but also slightly below its' current value. This hopefully will create some excitement and urgency to buyers. You also will have a slight edge as values are still on the decline.

I would also recommend you listing it again with a reputable, well-known agency - one who has strong statistics and who is familiar with Brielle. Get recommendations from people you know in the area who were happy with the service they received from their realtor. I also would suggest you sit down with more than one and carefully review their presentations - don't pick the one with the highest number - make your decision based on their experience and the analysis they provide. They should be able to back up the numbers they suggest. If you're not familiar with local realtors, feel free to contact me. I know Brielle well and would be happy to give you my professional opinion.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. I can be reached at 908-309-9405. Good luck!
