First consider selling your home is a result of a change in your life. And as we all know CHANGE is usually known as stressful.
When you consider however, change is constant. And all you need to do is some strategic planning before you even call a Realtor you can eliminate stress right up front and begin to create a mindset of the fact this is just another change in your life.
Next is selecting the RIGHT real estate agent.
If you are in Phoenix Arizona, there are around 40,000 to choose from.
30,000 you will never find because they sell one home every couple of years, never market themselves so they would be difficult to even find.
UNLESS one of those happened to live next door to you or were one of your friends. If this is the case, then you will have to be the one who musters up the courage to just say: NO.
If you know a few or let’s say you feel close to five of them, you may want to interview each of them.
Then too, you probably can eliminate a couple of them because you are not fond of them for some reason or another.
Also, don’t be afraid to tell them: “this is a business decision.” That should in most cases, cause them to turn and walk away.
Because that indicates you have made a business decision, and they were not a part of it.
This selection of a Realtor when you have a few friends who are agents, can be one of your most stressful situations.
Keep that in mind, and work to eliminate that stress right up front.
Over the past 38 years I have been on both sides of this as an agent, the winner and the loser. And can’t say of any friend did I ever become an enemy.
That is just part of life. Win some. Loose some.
