Just picked up a new listing... my neighbors house!

I think it all depends on the neighbor.

Of course it's great that you got the listing?  Who better to represent the seller?

You know the neighborhood better than anyone!!

And you don't need to go anywhere for showing appointments or open houses!

This is a GIFT!  Don't have any doubts or you're negative energy will wish it away!!!

No and H...no, did that one time and the guy was at my house every night for the first week asking what ad I was running and why his home had not been shown yet.

After a month he calmed down but one night after working late I got home around 10 -10:30 got into the house, sat down and the door bell rang, it was him and my wife opened the door only to holler out that it was him.

She fired me the next day, not the owner but my wife. She told the seller that I could not work with him anymore.

Well, you don't look that threatening. I'll bet you're both nice people and the transaction will go smoothly; and you may gain a new friend a future business. Good luck.

I have done so, many times.  It has always been successful.  You are the best Realtor for them, so why not?  Set your boundaries, when you will call with feedback, make sure you call them before they call you and stay upbeat!  Hope that you priced it on the money.  I offer CMA's every two weeks, just to keep up with the changes in our area.

It's a Good Life!

Seems like a good idea to me. Everything will probably go smoothly, and you'll have a friend next door again.

It makes me a little uncomfortable and very cautious, but I would probably do it with a lot of communication. Then again...

Jared & Amanda - I don't market to my own neighborhood, but if the neighbors came to me, I would list their home.  I take 'em where I can get 'em.

Definitely list it!  The buyers, if they find out you live next door, will know you know the neighborhood and probably know that you priced the house accordingly.  Make sure you have great comps to back up the price, and don't get stuck overpricing just because she is a friend!

Sure -- just set boundaries from the beginning and make sure they understand they can't come and ask you things about it at all odd hours.

Not sure if I would...could turn out to be awkward if not done right.

knowing you Jared, I don't see how it would be a problem...you're always a straight shooter...and who better knows the neighborhood than you and Amanda.
