I enjoyed seeing so many of you at our Office Open House this past Sun., Aug. 7th .
When you are in the neighborhood, please give me a call to say “hello”. I am happy to show you the beautiful location, technology and teaching resources at my new Keller Williams office! I’m at 20230 Stevens Creek, Suite #E, Cupertino (right across from the fire station at Torre/Vista, between Blaney & De Anza). My number is still the same, so you can Just Call 408-252-8900!

I enjoy sharing resources and helping people improve their lives. Most of the time my consulting skills and knowledge are applied to real estate needs, other times I feel God wants to use me to help someone because it’s just the right thing to do for that person at that time.

Here is what I learned and/or blogged about this week:

REALTOR® Achieves For Sale By Owner Victory

REALTOR® Achieves For Sale By Owner Victory
By Michelle Carr-Crowe, San Jose real estate agent and Cupertino homes selling expert

It’s so easy for sellers to mistakenly think for sale by owner is the way to go when you need to save money on selling a home, whether it's in San Jose, Calif. or Manhttan, NY.

However as the story of ForSaleByOwner.com founder Colby Sambrotto shows, selling real estate for sale by owner is hard work, even when you have good knowledge and experience. Sometimes a for sale by owner can work at selling a home for six months, invest lots of money in advertising and open houses, (as well as feel permanently inconvenienced) and still not sell the home.

However, as Mr. Sambrotto found out, hiring a true real estate professional who takes the time to understand the seller (and seller’s motivation), the market and the buyers can make a huge difference in results!

In the The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Sambrotto shows how exchanging the FSBO model for a full service real estate agent was a winning one. As reported by Tim Fennell in ActiveRain, the story of Founder of For Sale By Owner Company Turns to REALTOR® for Help is spreading like wildfire.
Sambrotto's wise choice to fire himself and hire a professional REALTOR® resulted in attracting multiple offers for his 2000 square foot condominium in New York.

And as a sweet bonus for his client, negotiated a final sales price of $150,000 OVER the asking price.

It's easy to lose perspective when selling For Sale By Owner. Whether selling real estate in Silicon Valley or New York City, it's a hard job. As a professional REALTOR® I am thrilled for everyone involved in this transaction to see that a real estate professional achieved success for the client and made the difference in getting the job done well and right.

This story highlights the good news, and important role, that experienced, knowledgeable real estate agents are performing every day in aiding the U.S. real estate recovery.
