TRUE OR FALSE?  Once you have chosen a Seller Agent to represent you in the sale of your home, and have signed a Listing Contract, you should get out of the way and let the agent find a buyer.

FALSE!  Selling a home requires involvement by the home owners as well as the Real Estate Agent.  It is a TEAM effort.  Sellers are responsible for two KEY areas:

1) pricing the home fairly with attractive terms

2) providing a home in marketable condition.

The home owner's Seller Agent is responsible for preparing and implementing a marketing plan to attract suitable Buyers.

Fair pricing is critical because most Buyers comparison shop, eliminating homes priced above market value. The Seller Agent can provide details of recent sales in the local market as well as pricing of similar homes currently for sale.   A home owner should use this informatoin to arrive at a price that reflects the value offered by the home.

Offering a home in marketable condition is critical to a successful sale. Buyers expect to purchase a home in excellent condition.  By performing a walk-through inspection, the Seller Agent can provide Sellers with a list of needed improvements.  It is up to the Sellers to present a positive first impression.

The Seller Agent creates a creative marketing plan that targets Buyer groups most likely to purchase the home.  Advertising and promotion attracts the Buyers attention.  The home is thus positioned to appeal to the widest possible segment of purchasers.

Joy, It is a team effort.  Seller must cooperate on many levels in order the get their home sold. I have certain criteria for sellers ... if they can't or won't meet the criteria ... I decline the listing.  A lockbox is a must!

Hi Joy -- sellers working along with their agent in a team effort will bring the best results -- higher price and a shorter time on the market.

That's good philosophy Kathleen - I may start to incorporate some of that thinking.  Is a sign a must too for you?

 

You are right Michael, I hope I will be able to reach some sellers and get that point recognized!
