Hollywood Celebrity, American Television star, Ed McMahon from the Publishers Clearing House and co-anchor on the Johnny Carson show can’t sell home now. This is a really interesting news update. Home buyers, including celbrities face foreclosure everywhere. If you can sell home now and get out of this mess, you should be alright. For those that can not get their home sold and house buyers that can’t qualify to buy this $6Mil property, beware. Donald Trump may be helping..more soon….

My husband and I are selling (we are having a brand new home built) and based on a contingency, we must sell this house before moving into the new home. My frustrations are plentiful when it comes to having perspective buyers take a peek at our home. It's a very open floor plan with two and half story foyer and all the amenities. But it just seems that people are only looking at our home just to get a sneak peak of the inside and are not interested in buying. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm beginning to get a bit antsy with all of this. Can anyone give any suggestions as to how to go about selling your home faster without lowering the price? (BTW, our asking price for the 2442 sq.ft. home in a very nice sub-division in High Point, NC is 200,000).
Everything that you asked is currently being done—from staging the home, to having it viewable on "visualtour" etc. It's been on the market for nearly three weeks so maybe I'm just a bit too antsy at the moment. We are listed with Keller Williams. They are excellent at what they do so we feel confident in who we have chosen to represent the selling of our home. The other homes for sale are at the same (if not more) asking price.
three weeks into a listing is not a very long time in todays market. Normally the first marketing affords are just starting to take place. It will take a little while until your Agent is able to get everything set up and scheduled. You are saying that you have buyers or potential buyers looking at your house and that you did everything else right. Out of my experience the first "lookers" are neighbors, just checking out the house, what is actually good because if they talk to other people, those people might look for a new home, they can give them all the information and on top of it they can tell them how great the area is. Make sure that there are plenty of fliers at the house they can take with them and show to "everybody" they know.
However, ask you Agent to bring other Agents to your house to let you and herself know what could be changed to make it more attractive for potential buyers.
I was talking to a newer Agent just today. She could not explain that her listing is not getting any public hits on the Web. I checked out the MLS everything was fine. But when i went into other search engines, like yahoo and others, this property did not up at all (using the map search for the area). Knowing the price I was able to locate it. This Agent accidently did not publish the property address in her listing, Understandable none of the mapping searches were able to pick it up.
Sometimes there are just little things that can make a big difference.
this home belongs to my husband and I, my husband allowed his family to operate a home group business to help them out.. and in return of his favor they have his credit all messed up and on top of that we found out that they change the mortagage without my husbands knowlegde or signature so yeah they commited forgery.. my husbands credit is so bad that he can even get a credit card for two hundred dollars..we also found out that they had a credit card in his name and max it out five thousand dollars and never paid… I wanted to go to the police but my husband doesnt want to because of his mother, all this was done by his sister and her husband and his mom.. and he doesnt know what to do..I have a real state agent trying to sell the home but is taking so long. can someone tell me how can I sell the home faster than with a real state agent?? I am so mad at this people and now Im mad at my husband for not doing anything about it. our marriage is suffering please help!!
The home is in good condition it has to be they have disable people living there.. The family had no choice but to let us put the house for sell, they know the trouble they got them self in to,the problem is that the house second mortagage the one they forged my husband signature is for 72 thousand that is why I hired an real state agent to sell the home for me. It feels hopeless sometimes..
If I were in your shoes without children I would walk right out on him. Sorry.
If your name is on that house then you are going to held responsible as well.
Sure he wasn't in on it since he wants to do NOTHING?
If you do NOTHING now they will do it AGAIN!!!
So sorry to hear your husband's family is so evil
I dated a guy who had problems like that so glad I never Married him. His daughter frauded me and no one thought I should make a police report but I did.
Contact the police &the attorney general for advise at LEAST!
Do you think a house will sell in this market? Nothing special, just a brick raised ranch on chciago's nw side. Currently valued at 364k, but we only would need about 345k to buy another home. Also, what real estate co. should I go with when selling to speed the process?
If you are interested in selling you home contact an agent. The fastest way to sell a home is to have the best home on the market at the lowest price.
The agent will give you a Comparative Market Analysis to help price the home. Most people can;t believe how much the price of their homes dropped.
If you are serious about selling get an appraisal about $300. The appraisal is a great sales tool and is the document the banks use to make a loan. This will also limit the financing falling through.
TO get an idea of the average amount of time it will take to sell the agent can tell you the average days on the market for houses sold and you should have them tell you the current inventory available and the number of closings per month. This will give you an idea of the backlog.
If you are serious about selling my wife is an agent in Florida and she can refer you to an agent near you.
Where are some good web sites for good info on forclosures and places to sell a house really fast?The notice for sale has allredy been posted. Please help :-}
I agree with tivodan116. There are a lot of predators out there who take advantage of people who are in trouble. In addition to talking to your attorney who may know investors, talk to a Realtor about listing/marketing the property. What stage are you in with the foreclosure? Have you been served and have you gone to court? If you have a court date, tell the judge that you're selling the property. Take a copy of the listing agreement….the judge is usually lenient. The Realtor may have an investor to do a quick sale.
We live in Orlando, FL and we need to sell our home as fast as we can. We have a 2 Story Home; Bedrooms: 4; Bathrooms: 2.5; 2 Car garage, With a long drive way. Sq Feet: 2642. Its in a great area. We have a realtor that does nothing and we’re thinking of firing him. Is there any websites that we can advertise our home? Please tell me anything that I can do? We really need to sell this home! Thank you.
Also what should be our asking price?
market is very slow and homes are taking months to sell, and you'd better reduce the price at least 10% below what you wanted to sell it for if you any buyer interest in it
Because there are many listings on the market today, your home must be that “shiny penny” that catches the buyers’ eye if you want to sell your home quickly.

I am going to be trying to list and sell my house for the 3rd time very soon. We live in FL in a 3bedroom 2bathroom home its aprx. 1300 sq feet. Has a huge back yard but the grass is pretty much dead I dont have the money to replace it tho. There is hardwood flooring in the living room and in one bed room. tile and carpet in the rest. The walls are pained yellow, green, grey, multi in the bathroom (sponge) everyone seems to love the bathroom
avarage home selling price for my size/condition home is 215,00-240,000.
I would like to sell it fast any tips or thinsg that will help it sell faster? Also I dont want to just give it away I would like to get fair price for it
Find the moeny to sod the yard. You will get it back and then some.
Paint the entire house one NEUTRAL color.
The house is very small - get as much out of it as possible. Make it look spacious.
Hold lots of open houses and agen open houses. Price it on the low end of the range for recent sales in the neighborhood.
Good luck.
i am not behind on payments because i have been borrowing money from family but cant do it forever.i am in a fixed loan and the payment was not bad until my hours got cut at work. i have my home listed with a Realtor.its been on for 6 weeks now with a couple of showings.but i am afraid it will not sell fast enough. i have it priced for 199,000 and owe about 174,000. when i bought it about 20 months ago it appraised for 220,000. and i have put about 30,000 into the lot and home. i don’t care about losing my invested money or equity i just need out before things get bad.i am trying to save my credit.my lender does not want to seem to help me.and i cant really rent it because i would not get enough to cover my payment. plus i will have to get a apartment somewhere. any suggestions?
If you’re not getting much interest, I’m surprised that your realtor hasn’t suggested dropping the price. Does your realtor understand that you need to sell it quickly? Have you gotten any feedback from the showings of why people weren’t interested? The feedback would help you develop a plan of action.
The only other thing that pops into my mind is all the shows on HGTV about staging houses. Have you looked into them at all to see if there are any suggestions you could use?
It’s really hard to give any other advice other than dropping your price.
Good luck.
