No, I did not steal these words from President Obama, but he and I both know what we have to do. We have to get out in our communities and make a difference. We have to own up to our mistakes and make resolutions for change. You may be asking what does this have to do with real estate? Well it means helping your neighbors sell their homes by keeping yours up. Start finding creative ways to revitalize your neighborhoods, Volunteer at schools, change your mindset from me to we.
Housing is a basic need, but look at your long term goals and determine if real estate can benefit you. Rates are at record lows, prices have fallen and now is the time to buy.

The Elliott Team's REAL ESTATE UPDATE
Avoiding 7 Costly Mistake of Selling Your Home
Real estate broker and author Sid Davis has identified in his book, "A Survival Guide to Selling a Home," seven costly mistakes that many sellers make when it comes time to put their home on the market. In my business, I've seen each one of these mistakes played out and it just makes me shake my head as to why sellers forge ahead with unwise strategies, instead of listening to the voice of an experienced professional.
Mistake 1:Putting the home on the market before it's ready. Most times this happens because the seller gets impatient or is a procrastinator and has pushed himself up against a moving deadline without getting the pre-sale work done. So it comes on the market with the horrible carpet (that gets replaced during the marketing of the home); or they are painting it while it goes on the market. Presentation is everything -- so get the work done before marketing the property.
