Salability Scale

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Success Realty

Something I use to make sure my listings are "salable".

 

Salability Scale

 

The purpose of the salability scale is to measure the overall likelihood of a home selling quickly and with the most profitability compared with other properties on the market.  A score of 80% and higher is deemed ‘saleable' for purposes of this test.  Thirty-two ‘yes' answers = 80%.

That is quite the list!  I get it though.  The first 20 are on the seller...the last 20 are on you!!!  So, you can show the seller, you are doing your half...what are they doing???  I like it!!!
