Mel Wagner's Q&A

There is also a Keybank Community Fund program that is zero down.  Homes must be in certain areas of Salem to qualify. 

It depends on what you are looking for in a park.  Bush Park and Minto Brown are great for walkers and runners. My husband is a runner and prefers Bush Park over Minto, if you are a runner.   Riverfront Park offers entertainment for the whole family.  There are great walking and running trails, a wonderful playground, and also the beautiful carousel.

Sounds like Zillow is having issues today then.  Hopefully support will see this thread and get it worked out.

dl80,I've had issues with uploading pictures before when the file size was to big.  You may want to try re-sizing your photos to a smaller size.  They also upload quicker when you do this.  Good luck!

Melina gave you great advice.  Over 90% of buyers start their search for a home online now, you need to be sure that your home shows up.    I always encourage people to use Google.  Google different agents, and see who has the best online presence for their listings.  Best of luck to you!

Your welcome rockingblu-have a great evening! 

Rockinblu's blog did have some good tips and links attached.  Postlets is one of the links that I would have sent to you.  I love the site because you can post to many other sites and make a nice flyer for Craigslist.  I wasn't sure how Zillow feels about us posting other sites.Being Realtor friendly can also be a big help.  If you plan to allow a buyer to work with a Realtor, meaning that you are okay with paying a commission to their agent, then be sure to put that in your advertising.  I have had some bad experiences with FSBO's in the past when calling to see if I could set up an appointment for my buyers to view a home.  If I see that you are cooperating, it makes the phone call much easier to make ;-)

Hi, they are charging now to list your home on Zillow.  That is something new that they just started.  If you hover over the homes tab at the top of your screen, you will see an option that says "post home for sale by owner".  I have some other sites that I also post my listings to that I have found get good results in addition to Zillow.  You will want to get your home on as many sites as possible.  You can email me if you want, and I'll send you some links.  Good luck!! Warm regards,Mel

Hi Darci-Is it currently listed and manually entered by you, or your broker, or is this the general information that shows up on Zillow about your home? If it is currently listed, you or your broker can edit the home facts by clicking on the edit status button right below the address.  Page down to update home facts and you should be able to edit from there.  If it is the general information on your home that Zillow has on record, you may need to contact them.  If no one from Zillow comes on to answer your question, you can try this.  There should be a flag content button right underneath the picture.  It looks like a little flag.  Enter your question in there, and someone from Zillow should contact you.  Hope that helps!

Did you use a Real Estate Broker, or post the home yourself.  If you used a Broker then they may need to remove the photots.  If that doesn't work you should see a flag button on your home listing.  Click on that and ask them to remove the pictures.  I'm not sure if they will remove all of the information, but I know they will remove the pictures because I have had to have them do that when I take over a listing that had a prior Broker.   Good Luck and Happy New Year!!Warm regards,Mel
