Trying to sell your charming fixed-up Victorian?

John Kavaller, a Jeffersonville real estate agent, has some tough advice for you: 

The fact that you renovated beautifully, sunk a ton of money into your Victorian, and are receiving mildly interested offers at 15% or more below your asking price is a common problem in today’s real estate market here in Sullivan County, NY ... Sitting at the poker table with your last $20.00 bill means one thing to an experienced player--you're out of the game next hand. If you cannot afford to keep your Victorian due to financial difficulties and telegraph this to anyone, you have a problem. In essence, you too are out of the game and will not get an acceptable offer on your terms.
