To Sell or not to sell Privately?

Dec 6 Press Release

I love to show homes. It is a thrill to translate a buyer’s observations into useable information. And naturally, humans sometimes draw incorrect inferences from what they see – for instance moving boxes suggesting the seller is anxious to sell. Not necessarily, they may just be really good planners!

A REALTOR® helps the buyer to navigate the unknowns, and since the buyer is represented – why might a seller need a REALTOR® ? Two very good reasons – safety and convenience.

A REALTOR® designs their work day, from early in the morning to late at night, to show your home. When you are working, taking children to school or hosting an important dinner party, your REALTOR® is convincingly marketing your property.

They take the calls, almost any time of day, from the sign on your lawn. And many of these calls are tire kickers. Imagine you taking those calls instead of your REALTOR® .

How about for safety reasons. Why would you let a stranger into your home. Just because they said they were interested - who are they, do they even have the abilty to buy it? Your home phone number should not be open to all to use. Even if you feel protected because you will be home with family, what if you innocently say you cannot show it because you are away ... you might be signalling a good time for a break in. REALTORS® are trained to describe your home, and be available to answer questions in a way that does not compromise your safety or the value of your biggest asset – your home!
