As a seller, you obviously want to get someone to buy your home. To do that, you need to get buyers to come look at it. How easy is it for that to happen?

Try calling your broker's company to set up an appointment to see your listing. What happens? Does the message say the office is closed even though it is an hour before they say they close? Is your agents phone forwarded to the office phone? Does the office message still say they're closed the next day during office hours?

You would be amazed how difficult it can be for an agent to show houses. Even vacant houses! Conventional wisdom would suggest making it as easy as possible for buyers to see the house for sale. As is often the case, conventional wisdom doesn't always prevail.
