Having been a full time real estate broker for the last 21 years, I want to share my experiences and advise. Servicing the Chicagoland area I have closed over 300 deals. Short sales have been a big part of my business in the recent years. However there is nothing better than seeing a happy new homeowner. I am looking forward to sharing with you.

To sell your home during the holiday season or not?
Plenty of people ask me this question. I think it is a great time to sell your home if it's furnished or staged. Play up your decorations. Light up the outside. Put a batch of cookies in the oven before showings. Your home never shows better than during the holiday season. Many sellers take their properties off the market to avoid the hassles of showings. Wrong thought. It's serious buyers who want to buy that are looking at this time. You'll stay on the market while the supply drops. Even if it's vacant, leave it on the market. You'll have a lot more competition in the spring. Supply and demand is the name of the game. With interest rates at a record low buyers are out there. I really sold a house on Christmas Eve. So hang those stocking with care, in hopes that the buyers soon will be there. Next topic will be, When will prices start to go up again?
