As a seller... a buyer's agent can be your best friend.

Mike I find that the more pleasant other agents are the smoother transactions flow. Having a rep of being fantastic to work with is a gold mine for everybody involved.

Absolutely true.  If the agent loves the house, they will call all their clients to go see it.

Mike,
You are spot on. There is always more inventory than buyers. That buyers agent will work like crazy to help you close.

Hi Mike, I agree, and I really enjoyed your analagy about impressing the girl's mom.  Very true.

Mike - There is no reason why both agents in a transaction can't get along. I find that when working together, more often than not the transaction runs smoother, and both the buyer and seller get what they want.

LOL  I agree with you on the agent aspect, but the girl following if the mom is impressed.... none I know, certainly not my daughter.

Hi Mike.  Enthusiasm is contagious isn't it.  Have a great day.

These are wise words that should be listened to by not only sellers, but listing agents as well.

Hi Mike -- wise advice to sellers and suitors alike.  Did your Mother-in-Law help you with this post?

Mike Rock - A good sellers' agent will pay attention to the buyers' agent, give them the information they need, and court their business.  After all they are the ones who are screening and selecting properties to show to their buyers!  Great advice!
