Well it was a great success! There were 10 seniors who attended, and they all gave me wonderful feedback and said they learned a lot from the presentation. One in particular was ready to sell in the near future and had several specific questions.

At the end of the presentation, I had one of my Realtor partners give a 5-minute introduction to our next seminar (scheduled for Saturday April 4th at the Keller Williams office in Santa Monica) that will cover the following topics:

• how the sales process is different in a buyers’ market
• how a pre-sale inspection can save you thousands of dollars
• creative pricing strategies
• offering seller incentives that movtivate buyers
• strategies for selling when your mortgage is more than your house is worth
• bullet-proof ways to pick the ideal buyer,

and of course…

• how to properly prepare your home through staging

All in all I was very pleased with the outcome of this seminar and hope this is just the first of many that I do at local Senior Centers!
