If you're trying to sell your home, DON'T keep it a secret!  I have had several conversations lately with homeowners who want to sell their home, but haven't listed it with a Realtor.  They have shared the information with one or two Realtors that their home is (potentially) for sale, but they don't want to take it any further.

That is not the best way to sell your home!

A number of years ago (more than five), buyers used to start working with a Realtor and ask about what homes they should go and view that might be of interest to them.  Nowadays, most buyers have spent countless hours on the internet researching homes and neighborhoods on their own. 

When all of those buyers were online searching for homes, did they see your home, and was it presented in the best possible light?

Consider working with a Realtor who can develop a strategic marketing plan for selling your home --- and who can expose it to the widest possible audience to maximize the opportunity for a sale!
