June Real Estate News: The Pricing Mistake That Could Cost You Your Sale

on
  Most sellers come into the market with one number in mind. And it’s often the one that costs them the most. That’s their   asking price .  A  survey  from  Realtor.com  shows about 8 in 10 (80%) of sellers expect to sell at or above their asking price today. But here’s where things get interesting. In reality, only about 4 out of every 10 (roughly  40% ) actually do. That’s a big gap. And it’s where a lot of sellers get caught off guard. So, why the disconnect? And how can you set yourself up to be one of the 4 in 10 that get top dollar?  Let’s break it down.

February: The Valentine’s Day Gifts Your Significant Other Actually Wants to Receive

on

 


Flowers, cards, candy… it’s all some of us can come up with for a Valentine’s Day gift. But, really, you’re better off saving your money. No one really wants these things—we all know it.

Instead, try one of these unique gifts this year that your loved one actually wants to open.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Bouquet

A box of chocolates? Nice. Chocolate fondue for dessert? Sure. A Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Bouquet? YES, thank you this is the gift of our dreams! Walmart is selling these bouquets, with orange flowers interwoven throughout, for $44, or you could order them from Amazon.

Art, Featuring Your Pet

If your significant other is obsessed with their pet—we’re talking wants to lay on a pillow with their pet’s face or wear their pet on their clothing—then boy, do we have a gift for you. The company Pop Your Pup sells apparel, accessories, home goods, and wall art—all with your beloved pets face. All you have to do is select the product you want and upload a photo!

An Experience

There’s really no gift better than one that you’ll remember for the rest of your life, and whether it’s sky diving or something a little less daring, Groupon is a one stop for anything your significant other could possible want to do. Turning hot glass into art? They’ve got it. Discount tickets to a monster truck jamboree? You bet.

A Class Taught by Their Favorite Celeb

Your creative writing professor in college may have been the worst (you totally didn’t deserve that C on the final)—but what if your class was taught by 19-time New York Times best-selling author James Patterson? MasterClass is a program that offers a month-by-month or yearly subscription to hundreds of classes taught by experts in the field. You can get guitar lessons from Carlos Santana, learn the rule of thirds from Annie Leibovits, and practice your free throws with Steph Curry. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving.
