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.

How to Quickly Find Out Your Cupertino School’s Accountability Score

How to Quickly Find Out Your Cupertino School’s Accountability Score



By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe, Your San Jose Saratoga Lynbrook & Cupertino Schools Expert



The California Department of Education recently released the 2009-2010 accountability progress report for statewide schools and districts at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/. Naturally parents are curious to discover how their current (or potential) schools are performing in relation to established goals and standards.



For a quick How-to, follow the directions below to find out how your current Cupertino school performed, and perhaps browse through the report to view how others did as well.



Go to the California Department of Education website at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/



Click COUNTY Level



Click 43-Santa Clara County



Click Submit



Select the first item on the list (see below)


2010 Growth API Report - List of Schools in the County



Click Submit



Then simply scroll through the alphabetic list to find your school district (Fremont Union High School, Cupertino Unified School District) and scan your schools to see how they’ve recently performed.



For your convenience, the link to the entire list of schools is http://api.cde.ca.gov/AcntRpt2010/2010GrthAPICo.aspx?cYear=2009-10&cSelect=43,SANTA,CLARA.

To get your own copy of this report , Michelle C. Carr-Crowe and the Get RE$ult$ Team will be giving them away, as part of their FREE Home Buyers Toolkit (www.freehomebuyerstoolkit.com) and FREE Home Sellers Toolkit (www.freehomesellerstoolkit.com) promotion, in person this Saturday and Sunday, September 18 and 19, from 10:00 am till 6:00 pm at the Moon Festival of Silicon Valley.



This year’s Moon Festival will be held at the Orchard Farms Shopping Center, located at 6148 Bollinger Rd., San Jose (in the Safeway, Chinese Performing Artists of America & Calabazas Cyclery Center). The cross street is Miller Ave.



You may also send an email to getresultsteam@hotmail.com and request a free home buyer toolkit or free home seller toolkit.
