I don’t know why my house is not selling. Could you please look at my pictures and tell me what is wrong. I am so frustrated and stuck, I have put so much work into this and I have to sell by October. I am sorry, but I don’t know what to do. I want to move to Alabama and relax, but I feel like I will be stuck in New York (Queens) forever. I have already purchased my house down south and need to leave soon or everything, all my financial plans will be messed up. Help. PLEASE!

How long has it been listed? The house looks cute. I don’t know much about Jamaica, NY but the real estate market has slowed down. Also, the summertime is a harder sell. Maybe the list price is too high for the area.

In terms of the house itself, I do see places that look cluttered. For example, the bathroom – there is something over the toilet that is holding a bunch of knick-knacks – you need to get rid of that. Get rid of any lacy-frilly curtains and things. Also, in the kitchen I see a blue cupboard and canisters in a shelf under the microwave that just look cluttered – remove it all! In your bedroom, the bed overpowers the room and is MUCH too big for the room. The chest of drawers can probably go also. People want to have big rooms – they aren’t necessarily going to notice that a closet/drawer is missing but can "imagine" one going in there. Keep only one patio set on your deck – take the cheaper plastic things away. Maybe put some plants out there. In the living room, remove the random black/blue chair and set up the sofa/loveseat so they are facing each other. The point is to declutter and make things look really simple and clean.

Good luck!

[Posted in other sections...] I want a career in Real Estate. What do I do?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

So, I’ve pretty much been in school for the past four years. I’ve got an associates in early childhood education, I’ve got a certificate in phlebotomy, and I’ve started taking classes in medical office management.

Well, call me confused but I’ve decided [yet again] that none of these things are what I want to do. Ever since I was little I’ve been fascinated with real estate. I still am. I would love to start a career in real estate. I hope to someday open my own business and flip a few houses. But I’m taking baby steps first.

So, what do I need to start out in Real Estate? [Whether working corporately for Century21 or a private business.]

What does it take to be in Real Estate?

Do I just need the license or are there also degrees? Which would you suggest?

What kind of money do you typically make? Is it commission?

Any other information I should know?

Thanks!!

If you like working with all different kind of people, are patient, be willing to work long hours, on weekends and "after office" hours and if you are willing to concentrate on your Real Estate Carreer you might like this job. Yes, most of us are paid on commission only. That means how much money you make is more or less up to you. Some companies will support you with training, client leads and advertising, some others don’t support at all but are paying a higher commission split.

Yes you have to go to school and in most States you have to take a State Exam to obtain your Real Estate License, you also have to keep your license up to date with mandatory additonal education.

Before you will be able to open up your own Real Estate business in most States you have to be a Sales Person and work under a Broker for 2 years, then you can go back to school and take a State Exam for your Brokers License.

To see if you like Real Estate you might want to go to a local Real Estate Company, talk to the office manager or Broker, talk to some of their Sales Associates, they will be able to show and tell you how Real Estate is working in your Area. You could also go to your local Board of Realtors and ask them for an Event Schedule, where Public is invited to as well. There you can meet other realtors you can talk to as well.

I hope that helped you a little – good luck
