Preparing your home to sell before coming on the market is critical. Your first showings are always your best, most interested buyers. If the home is not in tip-top condition at the beginning in this Buyers Market it will be passed over.

Are you honest with your sellers?

Do you tell them the truth?

We talk a lot on here about pricing the home correct from the start, being honest, walking away if the sellers won't listen or are unrealistic about the price.... but NOT telling them the truth about condition is NOT doing them any favors in the long run.

Here is a cute little video by Howcast. If you have a hard time being forthright about what needs to be done, then send this their way in a funny little email.

Enjoy!

Missy - cute video. Easy to understand and it makes the key points effectively.

You said but telling them the truth about condition is NOT doing them any favors in the long run. Is this really what you meant? If so, it's over my head. :)

Missy,

I like the video, and I think it is a good idea to give the potential Sellers as it has humour, and still does the job of informing

Missy, LOVE IT!  Where in the world did you find it?  Perfect!  I say "man up" on listing appointments, just like you do.  It's not the most pleasant job in the world, but it sure saves us all heartache later on, doesn't it? 

Hope you are doing well :)

I love the video but I have to take exception to the ceramic pig collection.  I mean, come one Missy. Who doesn't love a few hundred colorful little piglets? :)  Great video!

Missy, Thanks for this. I just took a new listing from a great client. He has a cat he needs to remove, but he just can't seem to do it. Also a dog, oh and another cat! I just forwarded him the link cause he does have a great sense of humor.

Missy -

Thanks for sharing the video.  We can always use new, funny ways to help our sellers prepare their homes.  I've never used howcast before so I went and checked out their website.  Thanks for a new resource!
