Craig Schiller, founder of Real Estaging in Chicago, doesn’t divulge any secrets or new information in his blog post 5 Simple Factors That Keep Your Home From Selling. They’re some of the same things Realtors have been telling sellers for years…some Realtors.

The article comments in a couple of areas that are hot buttons for me.  “Selecting a Realtor, solely because they recommended the highest listing price, may be the biggest reason why your home will not sell.” and “Sellers need to fully share concerns, needs and objectives with the selected Agent right from the start and continue until the property is sold. But while candid honesty is key, it must also be two way street. Your Realtor must not only listen to you, but you must listen to them.”

I have never been accused of being shy about getting to the real facts and figures, as well as giving my honest opinion as to what it’s going to take to sell a home in a reasonable period of time.  The Taos real estate market is no different than any other when it comes to the five basic truths in Craig’s post.  If your home is languishing on the market, or you’re about to list, give it a read.
