Silence is not always golden!

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 North Town & Country

When trying to sell a home, silence isn't always golden especially when your clients are expecting a call.  In fact, it's one of the leading complaints among sellers in the real estate market.  Often times agents are more than willing to take on a listing, but not qquite as eager to communicate regularly with the seller.

Keeping the communication lines open between the two parties assures the seller that the agent is keeping them apprised of any and all offers.  In addition, agents often provide valuable tips on why prospective buyers weren't interested.   This allows the agent to give the seller constructive feedback and offer important tips on how to make the home more attractive to future buyers.

Selling a home can be a lot of work and sometimes quite stressful.  It is incumbent upon an agent to satisfy the seller's expectations of routine updates, this will ensure the possibility of future business not to mention a successful sale.   If both parties work in a cooperative effort, the selling experience will be more successful and enjoyable for both the agent and the seller involved.
