August 2008 special: Past Client Testimonials

"Our customers deserve, and will receive, the finest service ever
offered by any real estate organization!"
From the Century 21 Vision Statement
"We want to express how much we enjoyed working with Becca. We are 450 miles away from Murdock where the sale took place and we did it all over the phone. She got all our info + sold it within 2 weeks. We can't think of anything more she could have done- she did all the work and made it easy for us. We trusted her completely. We haven't even met in person. We just saw her ad on the internet for another house in Murdock and called her immediately. We would reccomend her 100% to anybody looking for an agent. Thanks again Becca, you're awesome!"

NAR reports modest gain in home sales!

forget all the bad press, here is the skinny:
The National Association of Realtors reports "increased 2.0 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate 1 of 4.99 million units in May from a level of 4.89 million in April." (http://www.realtor.org/press_room/news_releases/2008/may_home_sales_show_gain)

What does this mean to you? It means the buyers are coming back into the process, and taking some of that inventory off the market. Buyers are feeling like they are getting "good deals" on everything from the terms of the sale- such as their interest rate to the purchase price of the home, and the sellers are satisfied with their sales prices and the amount of "action" they are receiving on their property. It is becoming a balanced market again!

These are existing home sales, meaning not new construction.

If a seller takes advantage of the current trend in rising home sales by doing things to help their home stand out, such as staging, curb appeal, etc... they stand a better chance of getting a better sales price and less market time on their home now more than any time so far in 2008.

Get into the game at just the right time! List you home now!
