There are three things that come into play.  My experience is that all three have to be in place in order to get a fast sale.   The first one is price.  As always this is the trickiest. The point of this is that neither I nor the seller determine that number. See what buyers might be saying about your house right now. The buyer has all of the control of that n... 10/20/2014

Most of the time you will get advised to get a secure credit card to increase your score. Unfortunately, you don't always get instructions on how to make it increase your credit score. A secured credit card is simply when you take $300 to $500 or so to a bank or lending institution and they will give you a credit card in the same amount. Great now you have the card.  What do you do next? All anyone said was to "use it".  That could mean a myriad of things. Here are some r... 10/13/2014

That is a trick question. You see, the answer is unknown. Why, do you ask?   I can't keep track of the latest statistics because they change too fast. Last time I checked,  90% of buyers start their search for houses online.    What does that mean to you and your 3 bedroom house that just won't seem to sell?   If buyers are looking online for houses it is critical that your house pops up everywhere they look. It is also important that pictures are nice but not so photo shopped that when they get to your house they aren't disappointed.    Video is critical. Virtual tours are not the same thing. Virtual tours are... 10/08/2014

The Pamela Madore GroupKeller Williams Realtyhttp://pinkhouseteam.com806-340-7630 Would Your House For Sale Win The Miss Amarillo Beauty Contest? When trying to sell your house and get a good price for it, you have to understand that your house is in The Amarillo House Beauty Contest.  Buyers are looking for a good value but they are willing to pay more if your house is in the top 3 in the Beauty Contest.  To continue the analogy, you need to be high in the swimsuit, gown and talent categories. Swimsuit:  Less is more. (maybe not always). Since you are planning on moving, why wouldn't you start packing immediately?  The less you have in your house the better it is going to look.  Start with a yard sale.  I think the rule is that if you haven't used it or worn it in the last 5 years you... 10/04/2014
