Even If They Don't Complain.....Sellers Notice

ummmm

If the brochure box is empty….they notice.

If their brochures still shows the original price after two reductions….they notice.

If their agent hasn’t done an Open House in six months (or ever)…..they notice.

If no feedback cometh after showings….they notice.

If there haven’t been any showings in a month…..they notice.

If their Craigslist ad hasn’t been refreshed…..they notice.

If their agent hasn’t updated them on market activity…..they notice.

If the only time they hear from their agent is when he calls to ask for a price reduction…..they notice.

Just because a seller doesn’t complain doesn’t means he happy. And just because he’s not complaining to his agent doesn’t mean he’s keeping quiet elsewhere. If his agent doesn’t seem to care about selling his home…..the seller notices.

Pamela -- very well said. Agents need to be proactive and let sellers know what to expect and how the "message" will be delivered. Communication is definitely key.

Well written post sellers notice and we as Realtors should be on top of our job before they notice. Thanks for sharing.

Your Dream. Our Passion.

AMEN! Good contact with the seller actually ensures a relisting, and better possibilities of price reductions. Does anyone out there list with the intention of not selling the home?? No owner contact will ensure you will not get the listing renewed, and may be counter productive in getting price reductions as well. Call as you would want to be called.

Great comments Michael and Pat. Yes, one would think that ALL agents are proactive, but in reality not all are. Jennifer, I loved your comment "call as you would want to be called".
