ALL Sellers are Motivated in this Market

Jacksonville Home Owners – Motivated to Sell

.

A look through the long list of homes for sale on MLS today revealed an interesting trend.  I’ve started to see listings that state, “Not a Distress Sale”.

I can understand the Realtor wanting to note that the home is not a Short Sale, but in my professional opinion, every home owner who has a home on the market….in today’s market….is motivated to sell!

Tips to Sell a Jacksonville Home Here

Those remarks that the Realtors put in MLS often get distributed out to all the Realtor.com, Craigslist, Yahoo Real Estate, and all the other Home Searching web sites.  With those remarks, would you want to see the house? Not me!

In this market, I want a FOUR letter word.  I want a D-E-A-L!

If you have a home to sell in Jacksonville.  Know that the Buyers looking will all want a DEAL.  Knowing this, be prepared and heck, market the home as a “DEAL”.  If you price it right, have great curb appeal, and are willing to ENTER into negotiations, your home will sell!

If your neighbor is “that guy”. The guy who maintains his home is the best on the block.  The best views, the best yard, the best upgrades, etc.  He may be right but guess what, he also will scoff at any low offers.  “That Guy” becomes irritated with Buyers who want to get a DEAL.  And guess what…..his home sits FOREVER!

My professional opinion:  If you have a home to sell in this market, understand that you are motivated to sell, and be prepared to negotiate as all Jacksonville Home Buyers want a DEAL!
