According to Corcoran Group founder Barbara Corcoran, on today’s TODAY show, the best places to advertise a home for sale online are craigslist.org and Zillow.com.
Other Seller tips from Barbara’s blog:
1. Price your home 10-15% below the competition. Buyers are attracted to the best deals in town and you can get the sale price bid up, even in a down market
2. Get rid of your stuff and stage the home. One of the biggest problems is clutter.
3. Hire a “killer” broker, one who is a specialist in your market and housing type and consider paying a higher commission (8%) when the market is tough.
4. Don’t ignore the first buyer offer, even if a lowball. Buyers feel obligated to lowball. Engage the buyer and counteroffer.
Great advice from a real estate legend.
