10- There is nothing beautiful about the act of childbirth- Trust me, those of you who have seen this already know and those of you who do not believe me are not parents yet.

9- Many new born children really favor Danny Devito- They are short, fat, and nearly bald if not all the way bald. If you ask me, that's a lot like Danny Devito.

8- When you are already half asleep and exhausted, no one speaks your native tongue- They may be speaking English when they talk to me, but I have no idea what they are saying.

7- New born children know the exact moment that you get comfortable- In fact, their volume while screaming is directly linked to how comfortable you are at the time.

6- Leaving the ribbon off of your door and mailbox fools no one- People inherently know when you have brought a child home from the hospital and really need your rest. They will show up on your doorstep in droves.

5- Facebook starts to suck more than normal- All the sudden you will come very curious about the guy in China that's a "friend" of a "friend" and is commenting on a picture of your 2 week old because your sister in law just had to post a new one.

4- New born children can be used as a weapon- When I no longer want you in my home now, I feed my Son, then shake him up, and hand him to someone I want to leave. Those of you who have had an infant know what will happen next, those of you who have yet to become parents will learn on your on.

3- You had a plan- Had is the key word of that statement and planning is a nice thing to think you can do. But in all honesty, it's like a boxing match, everyone has a plan until they get hit and then it's just a fight.

2- Before the child arrives, you will think that you have way too many diapers stored. Then you realize that they really go through those things faster than you could have imagined.

Clean cloths make infants sick- Literally! If you are wearing nice, clean cloths what ever you do, do not pick up they child.

 There are simply times when being a Realtor, our any other form of sales person for that matter, will require you to use the "N" word. As dreaded as it may be and I have seen many people who just can't say it to save their lives, you need to learn the proper use of the word NO.

 It can be one of the most difficult aspects of this business to learn,but knowing the right time and place to use that little two letter word can save a lot of hassle and heartache. No one likes to take a pass on a new listing, that means you have no chance of selling it and no chance of receiving sign calls as a result of said listing. But if the seller is completely unreasonable and you just know that things will not turn out well, then with all due respect why put yourself through the headache of fighting a battle you were going to lose from the very start.

 If a buyer is not willing to take the proper steps to make a purchase, then all you're really doing is offering a free tour. I request that all buyers speak with a lender prior to showing them homes for sale in the area. They need to know where they stand, what their price range is, and if they can even buy a home. This is good for them and myself as well. There is no more need to waste their time than it is to waste mine, and a lender can sum things up for us pretty quick.

 Frankly, some of the best decisions I have made since entering this business is saying no in certain situations. Buyers and sellers that I have passed on to another agent or passed up altogether. Like it or not, this is a business and you have to treat it like one. How many businesses do you know that want to fail at turning a profit because they took on too many bad investments?

 If you are trying to sell a house these days, then you have likely come to the realization that they are not flying off the shelf. Though we are seeing activity, in Columbia, SC new home sales drive the market, and new home communities will always be your largest competition. There's nowhere you can put a house on the market that isn't close to a new home community here.

 That doesn't mean that you can't get it done. In fact, it's entirely possible to compete with builders as well as the other resales around you. You just have to come to another realization.

 You need to get serious or you need to get comfortable. If you truly want to sell your house, then you need to do the things it takes to accomplish that task. If you are not willing to do what it takes, then you may as well make yourself at home, because you won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

 These days with a reduced number of buyers on the market, you have to make you house as attractive as possible. If you're not willing to do this, then you have little if any hope of selling your house.

1- Price it right -Price is far and away the most important thing in selling your house. You have to put the right price on it or the house may not even show much less sell. Buyers know what's out there and how far their money will go.

2- Condition - If price is the most important part of the puzzle, then condition is a close second. Fresh paint, new carpet is yours is damaged, fresh landscaping, and a clean house is a great start. It sounds like a lot, but if you're not willing to do what it takes, then there's no need to even try. If a buyer can get a brand new home for cheaper than they can buy your house that's not in great condition, then guess where that buyer is headed every time?

3- Depersonalize - It's part of the process of going neutral and allowing the buyer to picture themselves living in the home. They don't need to see a thousand family photos or your collection of 50 rooster figurines in the kitchen. You can put those up in your new home, but if you really want to sell, then this isn't your home anymore.

4- De-clutter - This is another incredibly important factor. I live in a house myself and I know how easy it is to accumulate more stuff than you really have room for in your house. I also know how easy it is to pack up all that stuff and put it out of sight and out of mind. It doesn't leave a good impression of the house when you have too much stuff crowded around all the rooms and it makes the place look smaller than it actually is in the end.

 These are just a handful of things that you can do to give yourself the best chance at selling. If you have really made up your mind that you are ready to move on, the you need to take it a step further and go through the motions necessary to make that happen.
