			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Privatepoint private selling real estate marketing system or commonly known as For Sale By Owner (FSBO) private selling  has been designed so you (as a property owner) do as little work as possible to market your property listing to the world. With our system you only need to enter your property details once and our system exports your property listing to a number of 3rd party websites.</p>
<p>Any updates you make to your property listing will be saved in our system and automatically updated on all 3rd party websites that your listing is exported to. Once your property is sold or leased you change this setting in your Privatepoint account and the status of your property on all 3rd party websites will change accordingly.</p>
<p><span id="more-223"></span>No other private real estate marketing system works as effectively and efficiently as what the Privatepoint system does. The reason our system is so superior to any other private selling system is that we have copied the <strong>technology commonly only available to real estate agents</strong> and modified it so it can be used by you to sell your property.</p>
<p>For Sale by Owner (FSBO) has never been so easy and is now something which can be undertaken by all property owners. Waste no more time, get your listing on Privatepoint today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You should be able to provide an answer to this question within 15 seconds of reading it, if not then you should not be selling your property.</p>
<p>On too many occasions I have seen property owners who have not had a specific reason to sell their property resulting in the sales process being a complete disaster. This is increasing apparent during times when property prices are on the rise and property owners decide to “test the waters” by placing their property on the market and setting an unrealistic listing price.<br />
<span id="more-216"></span>Below is a list outlining the reasons why a property will not sell if the owner does not have a clear reason to sell the property;</p>
<p><strong>Unrealistic listing price</strong> &#8211; Owners will only accept a price which is well above the market value of the property and will not be prepared to move from this unrealistic listing price.</p>
<p><strong>Unwilling to commit marketing resources</strong> &#8211; Inadequate money and time spent on the marketing strategy for a property will limit the audience who are informed that the property is on the market.</p>
<p><strong>Lack of property preparation</strong> – As the owner is not committed to the sale they will not spend time and money to prepare the property for sale. If a property has not been prepared correctly then this could affect the first impression a potential buyer has when they inspect the property.</p>
<p><strong>Stale listing</strong> – A listing which has been on the market for an extended period of time will convey a negative image to potential buyers. Buyers will be concerned that there is something wrong with the property or that it is overpriced.</p>
<p><strong>Future Price Reductions</strong> – When the owner does decide they would like to sell the property for a more reasonable price they will need to drop the price more than what the initial market value of the property was. The only way to sell a stale listing is to offer a “bargain” and reduce the listing price below the market value of the property.</p>
<p>Listing your property on the market when you are not 100% committed to the sale can have a dramatic affect on the final price you sell your property for. Make sure you have a clear reason to sell your property and you are not just “testing the waters”. Also, you need to be prepared to spend time and money on marketing and property preparation.</p>
