Ok. So I know that there are people out there dropping their commission and I don't get why. One of my previous posts was about justifying your commission.
Now, the listing that I took today was previously listed with another agent for 5% according to my customer. Well, my new customer complained that only 5 or 6 people came to see her home during the 6 months it was listed.
I told my client that it was "only" 1% more and that's money in interest that she was losing on the home by not getting it sold anyhow. I told her that I'm a single parent and about my work ethic. I also showed her, because I got the sign in the yard that day and delivered a copy of the contract within 2 hours of getting it signed by her.
I will continue to do things to EARN the money that she is paying me. I believe that the customers should see value in what we do. Many of them do not realize what we go through to earn it. We should remember to educate them!
No one will probably admit to this, but I hear often that people put the listing on the MLS and never talk to their clients again until it expires. Does anyone do that?
Am I the only one who goes out and hands out flyers to everyone I personally know, deliver them to hospitals, human resource places, meet the neighbors and hand them flyers...
What do you do to get the house sold? Do you do Open Houses? Do you do the magazines?
For those of you that have frequent closing miles at the title company...give me a clue. What did you do to market, that gave good results!
