As a seller, you control...

Short and sweet Laura.  Wouldn't this make a great disclosure to add to the Working With Real Estate Agents brochure!  Then we could have their initials.

Good blog. That's right short an sweat. Good luck and keep up the good work. Thanks

Good morning Laura,

You have made some excellent points..great observations which come from experience :).

Laura there is great power in being able to reduce hours of conversation at a listing appointment down to the basics as you have done in this post. I’ve subscribed to your blog.

Perfect Laura! A nice tidy post that all sellers should have to read & sign. LOL!!  Have a great day!

Sellers do need to know this and be reminded of this. I feel that more and more sellers are understanding the market.

This is current real estate truth and  those sellers that are able to understand this (hopefully the agent can help with that) are going to get results and those that don't accept this are not.

Sadly, most sellers today purchased at the height of the boom. The selling theory back then was to stick a sign in the ground and let the buyers fight it out. Not the case today...

Good morning Laura. Great post with true and accurate information. A simple way to put it to the sellers. Well written. I like your style. Suggested.

Pricing and marketing are the two reasons property does or does not sell. No marketing is like winking at a girl in the dark. Don't get the results you wanted, planned on in the flirting process. Just keep lowering the price when the marketing is only local, not too appetizing and like hospital food bland, or incomplete is lazy. More wider angle images, real video of the property and the area, little red hen effort for aerial maps, easy site navigation are key. Complete information takes time, home deliveries of it still more. There's the magic elixir, secret. The buyer needs a buffet of well stocked, easy to access on a moments notice on line oasis for when he or she has time to whip out the Droid, lap top, fire up the desk top in their home late at night, anytime.
