Hi

June is here and finally summer is here, we have had two days of consecutive sunshine. This could be a wonderful trend, which is great because I love the sun! This means great barbeques, camping with friends and warm nights on the patio!

As always our aim with our monthly newsletter is to fill it with great articles, information and stories that will inspire and educate you.

5 Tips To A Successful Home Sale

From Energized Seller

"Today's housing markets are good and bad news for home sellers: Sales have picked up, but buyers still have the upper hand. That means sellers who are determined to get more - or at least give up less - need to be well-prepared for the negotiation that can result in a deal," writes Marcie Geffner, a real estate reporter in Los Angeles.

Here are three of her five tips:

1. Stand out. Homes that are de-cluttered, depersonalized and in the best possible condition sell quicker and for more money.
2. Monitor the competition. Once an offer is received, the seller's Realtor should double check the market to find out whether any more homes have been put up for sale or sold.
3. Be flexible. Sellers should remember that compromise is the purpose of negotiation and that purpose can't be served if the seller just says no.
