Vince Kleinknecht, Realtor ®, licensed appraiser, and manager of  Peddicord Rice Auction Realty in Dresden, joined with hundreds of top real estate agents around the country to write “Real Estate in 2008” in less than a month.  

“Real Estate in 2008” (www.realestatein2008.org) helps buyers, sellers, and agents succeed in a challenging 2008 market by providing hundreds of ideas from top agents.  Chapters include ideas on how to find motivated buyers, how to help buyers to buy, how to guide sellers to price/position their homes, and other creative ideas from all around the country.  These are ideas from top real estate agents who collaborated in an industry-wide effort which was launched during the National Association of Realtor’s (NAR) conference in November 2007. 

Vince provides a number of ideas as to why buyers should buy in 2008 and how sellers can prepare, price and position their homes to be sure they get sold in 2008.  “Sellers must present the best possible product to the marketplace,” said Vince. “High inventory and a finite amount of buyers equal a very competitive market into the foreseeable future.” Vince adds “For buyers, there is no better time to invest than today. Interest rates are low, and selection is at an all time high.”  

“Vince contributed some great ideas to the book and shared his knowledge with other agents and consumers,” said Steve Kantor, President of Best Agent Business and author of Billion Dollar Agent – Lessons Learned.  “Hundreds of top agents around the country brainstormed and contributed ideas to write Real Estate in 2008 in record time.  We wanted to help agents, buyers and sellers make the most of the 2008 real estate market.”
