I hope that your SocialBios is the last About Me page you will have to complete now that REALTOR.com and SocialBios have fully launched the Hyper-Social(TM) Agent Profile Pages and Hyper-Social(TM) Agent Recommendations. Presented at the Young Professional Network Sub-Committee Midyear meeting yesterday in Washington, D.C., you must understand that this is no ordinary About Me page. Your SocialBios page is an information-packed, link-loaded, update-sharing, recommendation-engine of awesomeness that you can take with you via the handy personalized link or by grabbing a bit of code for your website. Set up your SocialBios page today at www.socialbios.com/create!

10.) Price it higher than what your agent recommends.
9.) Make your home unavailable for showings.
8.) Sell it yourself.
7.) Display family pictures and religious items (Also, consider leaving delinquent IRS statements on coffee table).
6.) Leave your barking dog in a crate in the kitchen.
5.) Leave the toilet seats up.
4.) Smoke in the house (especially before the “Open House”).
3.) Stay for the “Open House” (after all, you can show it better than your agent).
2.) Stop paying your utility bill.
And the number one way not to sell a house….
1.) Don’t call me at 443-540-0018 and don’t visit me on the Web at www.YourMoveEasy.com
