Until recently, writing or the need to write was never a significant part of my life. Before I began working on my first website, the need to write even a letter or email was not necessary. There was about 20 plus years of the occasional note or filling out a form or taking some kind of exam and that was the extent of it. Everything changed the day I purchased a domain name and began working on my website...

Why do sellers in Cyprus lower their prices and not tell all agents simultaneously? The question of why sellers price their homes way over what they are willing to accept seems obvious and I won't go into that now!  As an agent in Paphos, who charges a very low and competitive rate, I would assume that my sellers would want to ensure that their home is listed with me at the same price as all other...

I get phone calls and emails on regular basis from clients whose property I am listing to sell. They ask me if I think reducing the price of their home would help sell it faster. Of course the answer is yes, the lower the price, the more people that can afford it.

The Cyprus news media just published the median house price figures for November 2007. The source of this information comes from one of the larger marketing companies that operate as an estate agency but are not a licensed estate agency. This company arrives at data from the houses they sold during this same period. There are numerous marketing agencies, developers and estate agents all selling homes so I...

I want to write about Open Houses, an old method often used in the USA to sell homes.  To my knowledge, open houses are not currently or ever been used in Cyprus or in the UK (tell me if I’ am wrong). An Open House is exactly what it says, we open a house and invite anyone to come and view the home during a designated time period usually on the weekend when families are together and are likely to go...
