Actor Ben Stiller and his wife have just listed their Manhattan duplex for a cool $9.6M a $400K reduction in what they paid for the property back in 2008. (Even the rich and famous have been impacted by the housing market.)

Ben, in the past, has admitted to having a lot of nervous energy and says that " Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener."

The home has a chef's kitchen, theater room, maid's quarters, and incredible river views! Ka-ching!!! If you would like to help a NYC postman or gardener than check out the link below and consider investing in some NYC real estate. If you want beautiful scenery matched by incredible views than maybe you should look at Portland, Oregon...

Tips For Selling Your Property Faster

When I meet with my clients to sell their home, I am frequently asked "how can we sell it fast?" In a recent publication of HGTV Magazine (Click here to subscribe) a fellow real estate pro, Cora Sue Anthony, host of Real Estate Intervention, offered up some tips that I thought I would share.

• Buy The Best Bedding - Nothing dampens the feel of a master bedroom more than a cheap looking bedspread. The idea here is to make the master bedroom "feel like a five-star hotel."
• Spray Down Your Yard - Before you host your open house, grab a hose and give your yard that "dewy look." Grab their attention before they walk in the door or they just might keep walking!
• Give Light Fixtures A Thorough Cleaning - No one wants to see cobwebs or dead bugs. A clean house appeals to everyone.
• Hang Mirrors - Mirrors reflect light and help small spaces seem larger. Buyers will actually see themselves in your house, "subliminal staging at its best."
• Get Your Windows Professionally Cleaned - Clean windows help the house look light and bright!

None of these tips alone will help you sell quickly. However, if you combine these tips with smart staging, your house will sell faster. The key to selling your home fast is to make it look like the cleanest,  most well organized house on the block every day it is on the market. Selling your home is not easy, but is can be done quickly if you take the right steps.
