Ok...I am going to borrow a topic from my friend Denise Broesler <a href="http://dbroesler.com"></a> and talk about having my own home on the market, and listing it myself.
I totally agree with Denise when she says that every Realtor should be required to buy or sell his/her own home every so often so that they can remember just how emotional this is.
Tanya and I love home, but we are making some lifestyle changes which include downsizing a bit, mainly because both of our jobs keep us out of the home more than we would like. So, we've put it on the market, and have been getting a LOT of showings. This, of course, is a good thing, as more showings means more possible offers. But man it is emotional! There is so much to do when selling a home, that I am grateful for my knowledge as a Realtor here in Cranford. I know the market. I have priced it competetively, as evidenced by the traffic through our home, and I know exactly what to do from a business perspective, but that does not minimize the wide range of emotions I feel every time I get a call from a Realtor to show the property.
We are very excited to have the professional opportunities we are blessed with right now, and I know we will make our new home wonderful. Right now though, I know that these feelings will help me better serve my clients. The more I understand how my clients are feeling, the better I can serve their needs. Its more than a house....it's a home, and it's a life.
