Well, here you are. Just where you said that you would never be when you excitedly planted that For Sale sign at just the right spot in your front yard last spring. I'll bet that you even peeked out of the window as the first several cars rode by, halfway expecting them to come to a screeching halt, just to get the first look at your domestic treasure.

So you have decided to take over the marketing of your home yourself? Why not. No one knows your home better that you do. But, before you get started, heed the words of Horace mann "There is Nothing So Costly As Ignorance" This admonition could surely apply to those that fail to arm themselves with the knowledge and resources necessary to successfully navigate the shifting sands of todays housing market.
