* You can't go by your tax assessment figure. Even in communities that aim at full-value assessments, figures are almost never in line with what buyers are currently ready to pay..

So how do you price your house?. By putting yourself in a buyer's shoes.. What else is for sale in area? How does it compare with your house? How long has it been on market? What has sold recently, and how much did buying public value it at? What has failed to sell in past year?.

Any good broker can furnish data you need, often in form of a chart known as a CMA, Comparative Market Analysis. .

And once you have it, again think like a buyer. What price would it take for you to look at a list and say to an agent "Take me to see that one"?.

Depending on daily structure of your life, it might be necessary to divide hours you spend each day on your business. This is not a problem as long as you’re consistent. Indeed, sometimes it may be helpful to designate segments of your business time to different operations. You may find it useful, for example, to spend an hour in morning answering email and phone messages and generally dealing with your business contacts. Then in evening you could spend an hour, or two if you have it and can honestly make use of it, in such things as advertising your business, determining your best business sources, and generally doing whatever it is that causes your business to be better this month than it was last month.

In closing, allow me to restate what is probably most important single piece of advice I have ever given: you gotta be consistent if you want to be successful. Whether you give one hour per day or eight hours per day to your business, you have to give it that every day, day in and day out. If you honestly do that, you will find that you have a successful business far more quickly than anyone would ever have imagined!
