An interesting question to start your day. The Home Seller did not just cross the road, but ran across it. Why you ask? To get away from the flood of calls they got when they tried selling their Manchester NH area home themselves, For Sale by Owner also known as a FSBO?
Isn't a flood of calls what all Sellers want? The answer is actually NO. It is not the amount of calls but the quality of them.
The Home Owner told me the majority of calls were agents trying to list the property. The second most amount of calls were people asking if they could rent to own the home. When you got to actual buyers, they said most buyers did not know if they could even get a mortgage.
They said they got calls at home, at work and on their cell phone. People knocked on the door at all hours. Selling ones home was not as easy as they thought.
THE BOTTOM LINE is that Selling ones own home is not easy. Placing an ad in the paper, one online and planting a sign on the front lawn did not prepare them for what they faced. They wanted to save money, but it cost them time, lots of time they said. They missed work. Lost sleep and had things disappear from their home. They learned they priced their home too low. They learned they did not know how to pre qualify a buyer. They still were not sure what disclosures were required by law. They needed help....
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS is hiring an agent well experienced in Listing homes to guide you through the selling process. The key to having a successful Home Sale or Purchase can increase simply by choosing a better agent. One that explains each step of the buying or selling process and stands by you throughout each.

THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT
1. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.
2. 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.
