An excellent list, including your alert to under promise/over deliver.

Great list. I will refer to it! Thanks.

Fantastic blog! Our broker, Prudential Homesale Services Group, uses a Seller's Guarantee which incorporates many of the items on your list. One of the most important duties of a listing agent is to pre-qualify buyers, even if there is a buyer's agent. I contact the lender myself to verify the pre-approval letter. So far, this practice has been well received by the lending institutions who realize that buyers and sellers need to work together for the common good- especially in this challenging economy. Thanks so much!

Great list--thanks for posting. I also have a 100% guarantee. If any seller thinks I don't live up to what I've promised, they can get out of the listing contract at any time.

Thank you for this- now I can edit rather than to start from the beginning.
