As a species, we cling tightly to the familiar until the unfamiliar proves itself, and real estate is no different. For eons, it seems like, folks who want to sell [...]]]></description>

They do take a hefty little slice of the pie (likely from 3% to 6%) in return for varying levels of effort and competence. Of course, the old fashioned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The unusual aspect of the Open Door Auctions selling process is that it&#8217;s good for sellers, buyers, and real estate agents who aren&#8217;t afraid to diverge from the old fashioned way of doing business. At times, it seems like the traditional approach to selling real estate results in the three sides of the equation working [...]]]></description>

Conventional wisdom says that these areas can make or break a house deal. While we wouldn&#8217;t be so rash as to suggest otherwise, there is a third room creeping onto the horizon [...]]]></description>

You might not have noticed, but when they talk to a buyer about a purchase, it's called a "home." When they talk to a seller it's referred to as a "house." This choice in terminology is not accidental. A home conjures up an appealing image of a personalized space where you live, raise your family, and decorate according to your tastes. Buyers tend to think in terms of whether or not they can see themselves living in a particular structure. A house is simply that - a depersonalized structure, one of a million on the market at any particular point in time. As a seller, the sooner you can de-personalize your feelings about the home/house, the sooner you'll do what needs to be done to get it ready for sale.]]></description>
