Is using a Neighborhood Specialist an advantage

to a Home Seller? Listen to Elizabeth Razzi,

author of The Fearless Home Seller:

Razzi's Rules for Staying in Control of the Deal,

as she was interviewed on Market Place Money

TESS VIGELAND (hostess and interviewer, at the conclusion of the program): All right, I have to ask you, what kind of home seller have you been? Have you followed your own rules?

RAZZI: Unfortunately, some of these rules come about from experence. And I have been in the postiion of owning two homes in the middle of a very icey winter, where we had to hammer the ice off the steps of the house we were trying to sell so that people could come and look at it. And owning two homes with two mortgages is not at all fun. And I've gone through some of the mistakes that I try to drive people around in this book.

VIGELAND: Such as?

RAZZI: Hiring a real-estate agent who was a fine agent, but wasn't a specialist in my neighborhood. (Emphasis added) And that cost us. It cost us several weeks of primetime on the market. Most of us make mistakes when we're doing this because we don't buy and sell a house every couple of months. Every time you go back to it, every 5, 10, 15 years, the rules have changed a little bit.
