| Like a
courier who picks up your cleaning, think of me as your gofer who will preview the inventory in your price
range. You should be spending your time looking only at the homes you will consider. I only get to show off negotiation and paralegal
skills if I successfully accomplish the worker bee task of locating that property which
best suits your needs. Sometimes this takes looking at the new listings every day until
your home is found. |
If a buyer was smart, they
would say to me? "Will you make the time to look at twenty homes and show me the best
four homes?" Occasionally I will sell a home to an ex-Realtor and they don't even
approach me this way. Did you know
good real estate salespeople are more like librarians than salespeople? When we find you
the right house you rip it out of our hands. |
Recent WCRER (Washington Center for Real Estate Research) statistics reveal
our average buyer looks at ten homes. Ten is a reasonable number but I suspect at least
half are homes that should not be compared with the home you select because the buyer
tallies random open house looking in this ten count. IRED has a link for a check list for House Hunters. Try this checklist, it's shorter. |
