Selling Your Home - Isn't that what is suppose to happen?

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty LLC 0225227139

Two weeks ago, really ten days ago, I put out the humming bird feeder.  The first week of April is when the "scouts" are out.  I've never been successful with a hummingbird feeder, but I've never really tried either.  I just put in a 1/2 effort and put it out too late probably for the scouts to get wind of it and by then they had found their favorite places to feed.  Hummingbirds are territorial so they won't usually venture out of their territory.

This morning when I saw a hummingbird feeding at the hummingbird feeder I got excited.  It was cool to watch him.  I found success!  I did what I was suppose to do when I was suppose to do it based on what the experts told me and a "scout" found my feeder.

Of course I told my husband and he said, "Isn't that what is suppose to happen?"  Yes, dear it is. 

But if I equate hanging out bird feeders to prospecting for listings or clients what does that mean? 

It means I have to hang out the right bait.  What are sellers attracted to?  Top producers, someone who cares, or agents that market on the internet.  What are buyers attracted to?  Agents that listen, know the area market well, is available during the times they are available and able to communicate in a way that best suits the client.

I have been been helping folks in the Central Virginia Real Estate Market since 2001 reach their real estate goals and have sold hundreds of homes in this area.  I hang out the right bait.  If you are looking for an agent to knows the market area, cares enough to listen, successfully market homes on the internet and have invested in the technology to communicate with you in the venue that you are most comfortable with and will arrange my schedule to suit your needs whenever possible.

Call me if you wish to list your house or purchase real estate in the Lynchburg, Campbell County or Bedford County area.

Nannette I like your terms bait and hanging out with the right crowd. Good its working for you. Hummingbirds are so rare to come around, but once they do they are fun to watch.

Gary Thanks a bunch!

Mike I love them as well.  It just makes me stop and watch no matter what I'm doing when I see them.

Great job, Nannette!  I love watching the hummingbirds, too!  And what a good analogy you made between success attracting the birds with success attracting buyers and sellers.  It's going to get cold here in Atlanta tonight, but I'm going to get my feeders out later this week.

It got cold here in Va last night too Linda.  Well I say cold I mean in the high 40's.  For some places in the country high 40's is not cold.

Ray thanks a bunch for stopping by.  It is always a joy to see you!
