  Picking the best offer 2/14/2012
In many of today's stronger real estate markets, home sellers may receive multiple offers for their home.

  Get the house ready 2/15/2012
From experience, Realtors also know that a "well-polished" house appeals to more buyers and will sell faster and for a higher price.

Homeowners have a seemingly insatiable appetite for information about the housing markets. "Are prices going up? How's the market? Is now a good time to sell?" they ask.

Others are transferring ownership of their home to a child, a coworker or a tenant who's already living in the home. These circumstances are the exception, not the norm, however. For most people, a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transaction simply isn't in the cards. Here are five reasons why. ..
