Ready to sell your home, condo, or mult-family? We can help in a number of different ways.

But first, a bit about today's market.

Since about 2006, most of the country has been in a "buyer's market", meaning the the supply of homes has outstripped the demand for homes. A number of factors have contributed to this scenario with the net result being a drop in prices for most types of homes. In addition to a general drop in price, we've also seen that homes are taking longer to sell, vs. pre-2006.

The New England home market has, relative to the rest of the country, faired well. Prices haven't 'dropped as much', and buyers are still active however the supply of homes is still high, meaning that you're going to need a strong, well thought-out approach to getting your home sold. EXIT Realty Partners is here to help - even if you're selling it on your own!.

    Strategies When the Appraisal is low

    Today, more than ever, 'the appraisal' can make or break the sale of your home. Lenders will use the appraisal as a baseline for the loan and if the appraisal shows that the home's "value" is less than the agreed to selling price, your buyer will either exit the sale, or renegotiate the selling price.

    Learn more about what to do when an appraisal is lower than expected.
