......and you the seller have a very important part.

 Houses can only sell when the selling Team works together and you are as the seller you are part of the team. Nothing new but now let me explain you what I mean with this.

Your part is to make sure that your home put its best foot forward. Without this very vital contribution to the Team the rest of the Team will not have it easy to do their part.

The Marketing part of the selling is done the time right after you are signing the Listing contract and most of the REALTORS® will advertise the house online and with fliers that are available in the flier box right in front of the house.

One of the seller's parts of the Teamwork is maybe to de-clutter the house and to put their personal possessions away during and prior showings.

Now the Buyer, who has read the web advertising and has looked at the pictures of the home that have been posted online will read the possible property remark:" Roomy home, with ample storage" goes through the house and now finds the kitchen full with clutter and stuff and the toothbrush dirty in the sink or dirty laundry on the floor.

I know this is a drastic example but this is to show how important part a seller plays in part of the selling team.

The REALTOR® is there to help as a coach to get the team to the finish line and to the goal and everybody is a vital part of the team.

Bettina,  I think that telling the seller at a listing appointment is such a great thing.  It puts part of the weight of getting the home sold on their shoulders.  They need to take responsibility for how the home shows and the condition.  It is not how many open houses you hold, or how many newspaper ads you do.

Good post. We in the real estate business know that the agent is not the only part of the sale. We need every person to do their part...
