These houses are so wanted, so desirable, here in The Villages.. If you price the house right and have it clean and if you have it staged properly, it will sell right away without any agent and then you can have McLin and Burnsed close for you. They probably close more homes than most closers in this whole country. Closing cost about $750 about six years ago.

If a house is on the market here for any length of time it is dirty, priced too high has too much junk and bad colors and too many personal choices that cost money to change. Some people insist on pricing it and don't listen to a realtor OR an agent. And do not study comparables.

That is my opinion. I don't sell real estate, never have but we witnessed personal homes sold and our kids homes for a total of 12. I also like to watch what homes are selling for here, just because it is sort of a hobby.
