in the U.S. state of New York.
It is called the "Chosen Spot" in the one of
the languages of the Iroquois.
The city of Canandaigua is located at the

of the southern end.

If you have owned your home
for more than five years, here is a tip that might save you thousands of
dollars. Homes purchased with a loan greater than 80% require Private Mortgage
Insurance
Start by defining your needs.
Write down all the reasons for selling your home.
Ask yourself, "Why do
I want to sell and what do I expect to accomplish with the sale?"
For
example, a growing family may prompt your need for a larger home, or a job
opportunity in another city may necessitate a move.
Negotiate to sell.
Most
offers to purchase your home will require some negotiating to come to a win-win
agreement. Your real estate agent is well versed on the intricacies of the
contracts used in your area and will protect your best interest throughout the
bargaining. Your agent also knows what each contract clause means, what you will
net from the sale and what areas are easiest to negotiate.
The asking price you set for your home significantly
affects whether you will profit in the sale, how much you will profit and how
long your home will sit on the market.
Practicing good seller's etiquette
Let's face it: When your house goes on the market, you're not
only opening the door to prospective buyers
Are you a full-time professional real
estate agent? How long have you worked full time in real
estate?
How long have you been representing buyers?
What professional designations do you have?
Do you have a performance guarantee?
If
I am not satisfied with your performance, can I terminate our listing
agreement?
Some home
sellers have had dozens of buyer previews but not one purchase offer. In buyer's
markets, it is especially important to pull out all the stops and make your home
stand out among the sea of inventory on the market
They don't want to offend the seller. It goes against human nature
to offer substantially less than asking price to a seller. It's insulting to the
seller and embarrassing for the buyer
