Dear Seller: Let Your REALTOR® , ROD AND GLORIA Get It SOLD! You've selected a REALTOR® to become the listing agent in the sale of your home. Here are 10 Things that will help get it SOLD! 1. Be honest and upfront with your expectations. 2. Listen to the realtor®. When it is necessary to lower the price in order to get people through the door, then do it. We will have documentation showing current value. Price point is key and has to be inline with the market to peak the interest of buyers. 3. Keep your house clean and ready to show at all times. If you have animals, keep them in kennels or in an enclosed area for the buyer's safety as well as theirs, not everyone is an animal lover. Clean out litter boxes well beforehand. 4. Do not talk real estate with other agents. Direct them to contact your REALTOR® with questions or concerns, showings and feedback. It is unethical for agents to discuss your house with you while you are under contract. 5. When the home is being shown, please leave. Most people do not want to know why you think they should buy your house. They will surely find out if they are interested on their own. 6. Maintain a good attitude. When you ask how the Open House went last weekend, be positive about the results even if only 2 people walked through the door. One of the two could be a potential buyer. 7. If something is wrong. If you think we are not doing our job, speak directly us, not to your neighbors, the hairdresser or other agents. We will make it right 8. When you receive an offer, avoid completely shutting down the process by saying NO! Talk it over with us and lets begin the negotiation process. Once you have passed that window of opportunity, you may be in for another price reduction. 9. Be realistic about timelines in order to sell your home. We will show you how many days your home has been on the market what is typical for your home regarding price, size and location. |
