We believe...anything that requires a license is not a DIY project.

The smart people know the benefits and would not ever consider going at it alone!  I read on our Realtor forum about a seller that chose to go it on their own and will likely end up getting sued by at least 3 different parties.  So much for them saving a few bucks by not hiring a professional, haha.

Nina,

It boggles my mind when people who should know better want to try being a FISBO.  One of the agents we know here was telling us of a broker open for a 10 million dollar home listed by owner.  The owner was sunbathing by the pool reading his WSJ...He would not answer any questions either...LOL A

Well Nina, the proof that it's necessary to work with a Realtor is when you see so many who try it on their own, eventually have a Real Estate sign on their front lawn!

Hello Nina - like many things in life, professionals often make it appear so easy. It's not necessarily so.

Hi Nina Hollander - the Realtor in my BNI asks for a phone shot of a FSBO house with the phone number.  It will turn to a Realtor he knows and he wants it to be his.

I LOVE todays blog, so much good info consumers need

Nina: Sage advice and clear reasoning why it makes perfect sense for agents to market online and to be ready when consumers make contact from our Internet marketing.

Good morning Nina Hollander Definitely sellers get more exposure using a local Realtor, that's why everyone out there thinking on buying or selling a home in Charlotte area should call you today and hire the best!

Nina, no doubt if a homeowner is considering a move, or a buyer wants to purchase - they definitely should call YOU.

Good morning Nina. This is terrific. I would use this as a handout. Beautifully written as well.

Hello Nina,  Once again you are great at what you blog about and that is why buyers and sellers whould be calling you!

Nina- excellent. I think that many sellers don't realize that the process doesn't stop once you put that For Sale sign out there. And even if you do get an offer, this is often when an agent truly shows their value. 

Nina that graphic is an excellent piece to share with Buyers and Sellers.

Morning Nina.

That's our job isn't it, making the difficult things not so difficult.  Another subject for our next training/meeting session, thanks

Hi Nina Hollander,

I love this blog.  Not only do you touch on all the right subjects, but you also don't overpower and turn off the reader.  It has just the right amount of emphasis that keeps the buyer or seller engaged. Kudos!

 Good morning Nina Hollander ,

Excellent post and so glad to see Kathy Streib  feature it in her "Ah-ha" moments for the week. Should have earned a gold star..the AR Gods must be sleeping! Many sellers just don't understand all that goes into selling a home besides placing a sign in the ground.  Nice job of explaining.

Wow - this post is just filled with so much information that it really is a one stop shop. I love the backlinks - in addition to being a great resource for buyers and sellers, your blogs are a great master class for bloggers like myself to learn how the real pros do it. 

Hi Nina:

This is really a top-notch post, and something every buyer and seller should read. While that likely won't happen hopefully the ones in your area will, and then they'll pick up the phone.

Jeff
