I know some Realtors that are out to get every listing they possibly can because they know some homes will not sell before their 6 month listing agreement is up. If you look their amount of expireds on any given month there is a lot that never sells. So the seller moves on to another Realtor or gives up on selling their house for the time being.
I also hold a real estate license but am on the other end. I am very picky about the listings I take. I go into a meeting with the home owner with the question, "Is this a listing I want?"
I spend my time and my money on marketing a house in order to sell it. Is the seller willing to make any kind of investment as well. They expect me to give 100% and I expect the same from them!
We won't list a vacant home unless they Stage it, we won't list a house full of clutter, we won't list a house that is in need of many repairs unless the seller is willing to list it at a price that is appealing to over come those objections.
So why do we do this? Are we crazy? We have a reputation for selling our listings within a 28 day period for asking price or very close to it. We have been very successful Staging other Realtors listings within that same time frame.
Many times we have a house Staged, listed and closed from start to finish in 30 days. Once we did it in 3 weeks. Why drag it out? It only costs everyone involved more money!
