Questions, I get questions!

I attended the Brecksville Chamber of Commerce luncheon today.
It seems the first thing people ask me is "How's business?" - Is the real estate market getting any better?" - Usually the questions are followed by a story about the nightmare of someone trying to sell a property.
I see the market getting better for sellers who price realistically to today's market. It never fails that I hear many reasons why the sellers property is still worth more than others that sold for less. I feel sorry for those that have to sell and either can't or won't adjust their asking price. Sorry because the property will be sitting for a long time and then they end up selling for even less than they could have in the past.Some have been on the market for years. - no kidding.
On a happy note......
A seller came into our office today with a signed purchase agreement and ernest $$.
She was all smiles, she put a sign out for the first time and held an open house Sunday.
They priced it according to the present market and IT SOLD SUNDAY! We will be transfering title in 4 weeks and they can move on with their lives.
One more comment: Support your local small businesses. Your town would be pretty empty without them.
