I took a careful look at your house-for-sale blog. You have a very nice house and you include a tremendous amount of information. <strong>[-- paragraphed here snipped out by editor/homeowner Griff Wigley --]</strong> Your flyer is very nice, especially the photos. I would suggest listing the room dimensions rather than the square footage. Most people have a hard time picturing 225 square feet; it's easier to "see" 15'x15'. Regarding Louie, you're right. I found it most hypocritical that he would sit here in our office asking us to spend tens of thousands of dollars on advertizing in his paper while he was blatently selling his own properties without a realtor. I often wondered what would happen to the Northfield News if the real estate offices in Northfield decided not to advertize. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the progress you've made in getting your house sold. I would also enjoy speaking to you about the costs and benefits of using a realtor to sell your house. With the market being as tight as it is, I would think you might give us serious consideration. P.S. Include the address of your property on your blog so people know where to find it.
