Investing in anything can be risky and there's as much money lost as made with poor portfolio management. There's no such thing as a risk-free investment - whatever the publicity and hype says. Generally, the more expansive the promises, the greater the risk and the claims of quick and easy returns are the ones that are most likely to be broken but, with good and careful methodology, there are some sound investment opportunities around - Real Estate in Sarasota Florida is one of the best of them.

Rick,

Yes, realtors can view our home with their clients without an appointment.
We asked them to call us first, but we also state (in the MLS Realtor notes)
to "go and show" if no one answers the phone. We didn't want to limit the
number of people viewing our home if we weren't there. Also, we try to be
out of the house when people are viewing it to avoid being asked too many
questions.

The Phoenix market was very hot (seller's market) a few months ago, but it
seems to have really cooled off. We dropped our price significantly after
reviewing the sale price of recently sold homes, and hopefully are closer to
what a most buyers expect to pay. We're hoping that we can sell before the
holidays, but if not, we'll just wait it out through next year.

Our agent finally figured out how to retrieve the data. It surprises me
that
she never did this before (considering she's been "in the business" for
21
years). It turns out only one person viewed our house over a 2 week
period,
so we obviously need to lower the price to get more traffic (says our
agent). Cross your fingers and wish us a quick sale!

I'm curious -- aren't showings for your home scheduled through your
agent's office and don't they keep track of showings? Or are any
agents who have access to the MLS and a keypad able to show your home
without making an appointment? (In our area, an agent calls the
listing broker's office to request an appointment. Often those
requests are approved without securing the seller's approval but the
seller is always notified.)

If that's not the case, it must be tough to know when you've got some
"alone-time" -- like when to take a shower, etc (grin).

BTW, our system isn't perfect -- I sometimes find myself interrupting a
seller's shower because the seller didn't get the notification or was
notified by voicemail/answering machine but didn't pick up the message.
Ooops.

good luck, Dave Markets differ substantially (all Real Estate is
local, eh?) -- but I've noticed a real slowing down in buyer activity
here in the Twin Cities. But homes that are priced aggressively or are
in top condition and staged well for showings still sell pretty
quickly.
