No such thing as magic pill or magic website that is most accurate, you still need to do your own due diligence, agents can put comps and CMA, some times they don't even match that against tax records, all they pull is from MLS, you wanna know about all sales weather on MLS or off MLS.

There is no magic pill or one specific way to get new customers rather there are 100's of different things to do and you must do all of them constantly to have a consistent business flow.

Especially when I add in the fact that the house is on a major street and the nicely remodeled house next door that is listed at $355k has been on the market for almost 5 months with numerous price reductions.

Derek,most people think that you have to mass advertise which I disagree, you have to pick a smaller list and continue to work that and be in their presence more and your results will be better. 25 letters send 4 times a month to a specific list is better than 1000 letters once every month to a bigger list. every one thinks you just need one way to do marketing, you have to always be flexible and have variety of stuff to do your marketing with to generate new blood. all business either have too much or too little business as it is never balanced, its either family or feast. you should never turn off the marketing machine and constantly be looking out to take in new business with different strategies, as your business grows you continue using marketing but get pickier who you want to take on as a client. there is no magi pill of one item for successful marketing there are probably over 30 different things to do and you must be doing all 30 to get new customers.

With that large of an equity reduction you'll probably have to market to all three absentee types.

Americans have reduced our household debt by over $800 Billion since 2008...I agree things are looking better than back in 2008, but your stat above begs the question, "Is some significant portion of this debt reduction due to Americans getting rid of their personal mortgage debt because of foreclosures?"

I think it works in your favor to list. 1) you can show there was a reasonable effort to market the property with the previous list agent and THEN LIST BELOW THE LAST LIST PRICE 2) BPO agent look at listing history and list price when determining value, so if that figure is in line with your offer, you have a MUCH stronger chance of having the BPO come in where you need it.3) a list agent will do incremental price reductions. this again all builds a case for a listing history.

The wholesale fee is charged to the motivated seller in the form of a price reduction.

I use a 3rd party company to help protest my rental property appraisal values and they take 1/3 of the actual tax reduction as the fee.

Earlier this year, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announced a significant reduction in its mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) for new borrowers.
