Selling in a buyer's market, with discipline and care
Selling in a buyer's market is a different game: your buyer has time to inspect, compare, and hesitate, so your price and your preparation have to survive scrutiny before the first showing. Your first price is not marketing; it is risk control. These articles cover how I price, how I prepare a home for serious buyers, and how to protect you through the paperwork: the discipline that protects a seller from a stale listing and from deals that fall apart after acceptance. If you read nothing else, read the pricing piece first.
