It could be the effective pricing of their home and knowing the "inside" information about their neighborhood or market. It could be tips on improving the condition. It could be simply excellent marketing and exposure or targeting the exact kind of buyer for their property. In the end often two weeks to two months or longer are "wasted" in time before they do the right thing and connect with a REALTOR.
