Are you selling or aren't you?

My pet peeve of the week is sellers who won't let people in. Last weekend we set it up an appointment through another real estate office. We showed up at the house and the seller told us we could not come in. She wanted to know if 3 days from then would be okay!!! Duh. The seller just got the buyer mad and they are not coming back to look at that house. She supposedly does not empty her messages off the answering machine to know when the appointments are scheduled. Not the smartest seller in the world.

I have two more. Another one we called to see tomorrow they said how about next week towards the end of the week. This was a lease. The people need to move. They will be looking elsewhere.Another one we called to see tomorrow (a different buyer and seller) the seller said not tomorrow but how about Sat between 12-1 or Sun 4-5. 3 days later again and to at their convenience.If you are going to sell your house make a commitment to yourself and let it be shown whenever possible. It is a slow market you can't afford to let a buyer go by. There are some houses that are not getting lookers but once a month. I can understand if you have out of town guests, birthday party, a child sick, but let your agent show it as much as he can. Even if it short notice, even if it is not perfect.I sold one house this way. Another agent was in front of my buyers house and called me. They wanted to get in right then. They liked the looks of the house. I called my buyer. He ranted and raved about no notice. I told him to quickly make the bed and apologize to the prospective buyer on how it was not totally cleaned up. That buyer bought the house. They put in a bid that night!!!

If you are thinking of selling your home. Don't let the buyer get away. Don't let the buyer get away. Don't let the buyer get away.

They are far and few between right now. They will put your house on the back burner like you did them. There are so many houses on the market to look at. Make it available. Make it easy to show all the time. I know it is work to keep it clean and pretty. But if you truly want to move and sell the house then you might have to pack up the kids, the dog and run out of the house. Go to my website and do one of the March things to do in Michigan.

Michigan lake homes and Novi boat show

http://www.russravary.comWell we stopped by the boat show in Novi. I've decided you either are a boater or you aren't. I remember going to the boat show as a kid. It still is exciting. I love sitting in the boats checking out all the neat options. Some of the ski boats are so darn expensive. I can't believe some of them are $50,000 plus. You have to be a wake board or ski boat fanatic. I wish they had more booths with the toys that go with the boats. That is what adds up in cost. The tow ropes, the skis, the fishing rods, the tackle, the tubes, the life jackets. That's what makes the boat even more fun.
The reason we went to the boat is that I found a house on a lake for a client. They got a great deal on a 2800 square foot house on a lake. Now they need a boat. It had all the fun stuff in a home. A 16 ft bar, a sauna, a hot tub, boat hoist and docks. The master bathroom was the nicest bathroom we saw in the $430,000 to $585,000 range. It is a beautiful house. Even the chandelier was on a wench so it could lower so you could clean it with out getting up on a ladder. So if you are looking for a lake property now is the time. Lake properties around Metro Detroit have come down in price. Search for lake homes in Livingston County, Oakland County. There are great deals on homes in Metro Detroit right now. Lake homes have become more affordable in the last year. If you are thinking of making a move to a lake now may be the time to start your search. Go to Russ Ravary's dream home finder and put in what you want. I'll email you listings of homes that fit your criteria. Start dreaming of being able to relax after a hard day at work on your boat on your lake. Think of having a cold drink in your hand, watching the sunset on the horizon. It's possible with this market. Have a safe weekend Russ Ravary
