Is there a difference between a good “listing” and “just having a house on the market.” I would have to say “yes.” Having a good listing means having a
home that is reasonably priced for the on-going market. If the home is priced too high (especially in this market) the chances of it selling are weakened.
On the other hand, if the home is priced too low, then the home owners may be left thinking they could have received more for their home.
Another key to a good listing is a motivated seller. The highly motivated sellers, tend to be more flexible. Motivated sellers tend to have time against their
side, whether it’s because of job relocation, troubled finances, divorce situation or just needing to upgrade. The less motivated the seller, the less likely they
are willing to do whatever it takes, ie price reduction, to get the home sold.
One more important key to a successful listing is the bargain and sale deed. If the home is priced right, and the seller is motivated, you don’t want a surprise
guest claiming interest in the property and preventing the sale.
No one I know likes to waste time or money and through experience I’m learning how easy it is to burn time & money by just having a house on the market.
It is my focus to pay attention to all the key elements of attaining a good listing before I just put another house on the market.
