Does it look like we live in a barn? Was the question a FSBO seller asked me. He has been trying to sell his home on his own for some time here in the Manchester NH area. I met him earlier in the week at Home Depot where I was getting some keys made. He asked if I was in real estate, we spoke briefly and i gave him my card.
You never know if a FSBO will call you back and when they do, you do not expect this type of response. He was begging me for answers.
He said he could not believe the amount of buyers who showed up to see his home with pets in hand or on a leash. "What makes a buyer think it is ok to bring a pet to a strangers home?" The basic answer is two fold, by allowing everyone in to see your home, the fsbo created this situated by not pre qualifying buyers first before letting them in. Secondly, some buyers do not know any better.
"How does he solve this?" he asked. He does not know how to pre qualify a buyer. This is a part of real estate most sellers never think of. How many strangers did he have in house that could not even buy a home? Nearly all of them he said. He thought it was easy. He never thought people would take things during showings. He never thought people wold bring dogs in his house and they would pee on his new carpets.
The seller is ready to list. He is ready to have things done right. He is ready to eliminate this stress in his life. He is ready to sell his home, not have it it on the market. We discussed asking price, what the home will most likely sell for and his timing to close.
The MOST IMPORTANT message is to share with every consumer that my philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other.
