Each Listing Is Like A Newborn Baby - By: Maria Sapio, Realtor

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams of Central PA RS334568




The seller has carefully selected the agent to list the home for sale - 


What happens next?

For me, I treat each listing like a newborn baby.

1.) TLC -

Each home deserves the utmost level of tender, loving, care (TLC). 


Does the home need a fresh coat of paint on the front door? 
Perhaps the bathroom needs to have the scatter rugs removed? 
Maybe the kitchen counter is cluttered?

I will guide you through each step.We want this 'baby' to be bright eyed and looking happy and ready to be seen by potential buyers!

2.)  Photos -

Only the Best will do! 

A professional photographer is called upon to do the job.  Exterior and interior photos showing off every nook and cranny of this beautiful 'baby.'

3.)  Marketing -

I am so proud of this 'baby' and can't wait to show everyone - so when it comes to marketing - Exceptional is the word! 
Each marketing piece must meet my very high standards.  

4.) Attention
Every 'baby' is carried with tenderness.  Continual communication, oversight, awareness, and precision to each detail from pre-listing until 'sold.' 

When you decide to sell your home, find an agent that will treat your home sale like they are caring for a newborn baby.

LOVE this post too, Maria! You know, if we don't treat each one like this, the sellers are not going to be happy! They've put years of loving into the home they're selling and we must be careful in our presentations for prepping their homes for the market too.

Hi Maria

I love this analogy! It speaks clearly to the care, attention and emotions that are part of a new listing, and what the seller should expect from us in a caring and sensitive way. Yes it is a business transaction but one with a huge emotional and personal investment.
