You Sold My House in One Day - Will You Lower Your Commission?

I wanted to re-blog Pat's post when it was originally posted. Now that re-blogging is enabled, I took this opportunity to re-blog this featured post.

Pat has a great argument to those sellers who always will try to justify a lower compensation for great agents like her who could sell the home in one day!

Read this post - in case you missed this featured post...

Pat, that is a great post,BTW...

Sold

“You sold my house in one day.  Will you lower your commission?”

My house sold in one day for almost full price.  You must have underpriced it.  I probably could have gotten a lot more money!”

“Mr. Seller, your home sold quickly because we had it priced right and you did everything I recommended including hiring mywinner stager.  Your house won the price war and the beauty contest.  You have a lot of jealous neighbors.  You should be very proud!”

“You did not have to spend hardly any time or money marketing my home.  This was probably the easiest money you have ever earned.”

“Mr. Seller, I do my best and work my hardest for all of my clients.  I do not short change anyone nor do I give anyone extras.  Your $350,000 home received the same exceptional marketing that my million dollar listings receive.”

“I don’t know…..Will you charge me less commission since my home sold so quickly??”

“Mr. Seller, are you telling me that if it had taken six months to sell your home you would have paid me more?!”

Praful, we missed this the first time-thank you for the repost!

The last sentence and the graphic said it perfectly! Much of our behind the scenes work is done up front and the sellers may not notice it. That is our fault for not explaining the process but to lower our commission because we did our job well is goofy. We price the majority of our listings with our sellers present. They see what we see and we price the home with them. This helps to alleviate the price issues since they are a part of the process from day one.

The sellers feel that we are paid by hours! Finally they know about it.

Yes, this is the expectations of most sellers - though they won't pay more if the home stays on market for long!
