Newsletter - October 2008 It may not be the best time to sell. That said though, it’s not the worst time to sell. You may not get as much for your current house as you once expected, but you won’t pay nearly as much for the next one, either. And it’s undeniably the right time to buy!

The Ultimate Buyers Seminar. From start to finish. Wednesday Oct 8th, 7 pm Jenny Pruitt & Associates, 4651 Olde Towne Parkway, Marietta Free - registration preferred but not required! The seminar is mainly aimed at renters who could easily – in this current market – own their own home with little or no down payment… most of them would be surprised that their monthly rent converted in a monthly mortgage would provide them with a lovely and inviting home. Beside renters, we are very happy to welcome any potential buyers as everybody could benefit of our informative evening. Peter Babcock, Closing Attorney at Dickenson Gilroy and Jim Malone, Home Mortgage Consultant with Home Services Lending, an Affiliate of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, will be our guest speakers. During the evening, several topics will be covered: working with an agent, the loan process, loans currently available with little or no down payment, appraisal, the closing in detail, … every step will be covered and we will end the evening with a Q&A. Refreshments will be served.

The importance of pictures Prospective buyers in this market want to see images of your home before they want to visit in person. The more photos they find, the greater the interest they seem to exhibit in your home. With listing with 21 or more photos, it seems to be that consumers were three times as likely to delve deeper into the listing for a detailed view, and as a result, generated twice the amount of interest and twice the number of leads. Photos have a high impact on driving real estate transactions. Make sure your agent takes numerous quality shots of your home!
