You never know what you will find when you view a FSBO (For Sale By Owner) home. The seller let us in and went out on the deck to give us space. As I viewed the home with my buyer, my buyers spoke freely about the "mess" this home was. It showed horrible. Never mind the lack of staging, decluttering or even picking up for the showing. This home was a mess.
Despite that, they wanted to buy a fixer upper and this was definitely that. SO when we walked outside and the sellers met us. Mrs. Seller was in a "bad mood" repeating that the buyers said the home was a mess was insulting. But how we wondered?
They listened to us with a BABY MONITOR CAMEREA Security system. Now, they can watch, but to listen... that is illegal in NH and I did not hesitate to let them know that.... in a nice manner of course. They need to post warning signs at the entrances that sound is being recorded.
The Sellers turned these buyers off and the buyers chose not to make an offer on this home. The seller has called a few times since for advice. They are doing everything wrong and at least know it, seeing their home is not selling. They said that selling their home on their own was not so easy in realty as it looked on TV. They need an agent and can I come by next week to talk.
The BEST way to go about any home sale or purchase is to know that the consumer should not choose just any agent. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. By using a philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process, I can help you find your dream home or sell your property.
