How NOT to Sell Your Home

 

As the branch manager, I get to hear all the stories my agents are dealing with.  This one is the “seller who wants to sell but makes it difficult”.

 

The seller is getting 2-4 showings per week in a slow market.  But because none have resulted in offers so far, the seller has decided that they are going to restrict the showings, since it’s too much trouble to keep the home in showing condition at all times.

 

Now the seller will only show the home during a four hour window on Saturdays, with advance notice.

 

Kill me now!  Any agent who sees that in the showing instructions will just decide it isn’t worth it and move on to easier listings.  With the market as saturated as it is in inventory, agents have plenty of homes to choose from.  And with buyers in short supply, agents are accommodating THEIR schedules, not the sellers’.

 

Homes ARE selling, but it takes more than a great home and a realistic price to get it done.  If the buyer can’t SEE the home, they can’t BUY it!

This puts a different spin on the “laws of attraction” that I can buy into! http://ping.fm/HclKT

This is great advice for agents but it’s applicable to anyone who wants to be successful. http://ping.fm/2wkKA
