The Price of Your Home

Why is it that some homes sit on the market for a year while others sell like hot cakes? Frustrated sellers will blame a bad market, while a good real estate professional will tell you that many times, a slow sale is often attributed to the listing price.

If a home is overpriced, buyers will stay away. But, if the price is competitive with similar homes in the area and "shows" better than the competition, it will have a better chance of being sold quickly.

"Four Worms and a Lesson"

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol. The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke. The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup. The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in the alcohol...dead. The second worm in the cigarette smoke...dead. The third worm in the chocolate syrup...dead. The fourth worm in the good clean soil...alive.

So the Minister asked the congregation... What can you learn from this demonstration?

An elderly lady named Maxine, sitting in the back, quickly raise her hand and said,
"As long as you drink, smoke, and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"

That pretty much ended the service...
