ONLY PHOEBE KNOWS

This is our one of our dogs Phoebe. Statistics in this market often contradict reason, so Sylvia and I sometimes turn to Phoebe to "sniff out" reality. As an example, in the midst of large inventory and declining sales, home prices are actually on the rise; they rose a half point in July and another half point in August. One possible reason is a seller often tosses the buyer a bone in the form of closing credits which still nets the seller less, but isn't reflected in the closed sale price. Creativity in marketing, staging, financing and especially negotiations are keys to getting the deal done. By the way, Sylvia and I are Certified Negotiations Specialists. We can put our knowledge to work for you to get your home sold.
