Pam - I agree- the numbers don't lie! If a seller really is ready to sell, listen to their Realtor*

Meg,
I have a client who asked me several months ago about selling. They followed my advice; painted, cleaned up clutter, etc. They also listened to me about setting a price, and it looks like after a very short time on the market they may have buyers bidding on their home. I am going to print out the before and after photos of their home, and the CMA info I used to help them decide on a price, and perhaps make it a part of my listing presentation. I have plenty of clients who didn't listen to me, priced their homes too high, and the home sat many many months on the market until sufficient reductions were made.
I actually don't mind at all if people don't want to take my advice; it's their home, they can ask whatever they want for it. But what drives me crazy is I've had clients not listen to my advice, then get angry with me when their plan didn't work out!! How is that possible?!
