Do you get scared easily? There are certain phrases or words that may make you want to run, far away when you see them in a MLS Listings comments.

You may wonder if they really thought about what they were writing or did they think too much?
Please check them out and leave a comment what your vote is.
THE TOP COMMENTS IN A MLS LISTING YOU NEVER WANT TO SEE
1. WILL NOT LAST, but has been on the market for 6 months.
2. SELLER SAYS SELL, but home is still on the market at it's original price 6 months later.
3. PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP, but the pictures in MLS show a messy room in the photos.
4. NEEDS TLC. Usually means run, it needs to much work.
5. MOTIVATED SELLER, but you can only see the home every other Tuesday or Friday between 2pm and 3pm but not when it is raining.
6. LISTING AGENT MUST BE PRESENT but they are never available when your buyer wants to see the home.
7. BRING YOUR OFFERS: But why than is it still for sale after 4 months?
8. DREAM HOME: more like nightmare.
9. THE COMMENTS ARE IN ALL CAPS: No explanation need....
10. And the WORST comments are when there is NO comments at all.
Listing Homes is a specialty, it takes a full time local agent with experience to do things right. You can not afford to be someones "trial and error". . The key is to have a Listing agent who goes over the complete listing and selling process with you. That they are there when you need them.

THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT
1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.
2. HOME BUYERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE PRE-QUALIFICATION with a local and trusted lender. They will look at your credit and financial picture and let you know what type of mortgage you may qualify for and what your interest rate and monthly payment may be.
3. HOME SELLERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE MARKET ANALYSIS. Learn what your property is worth in today's market along with how ling it may take to sell. If you are ready to sell now, learn what you should ask for it. How much offers may come in at and what the approximate selling price should be. NH Home owners should contact me now.
IN SUMMARY the key to having a successful purchase or sale can increase simply choosing a better agent. The secret is that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest.
