"Why do I need a Real Estate Consultant to help me find an agent? There
are 155 listed in the yellow pages."
"The marketing of any property is an art more than a science. Buyers are very discriminating.
Homeowners know the value of their property, and the transactions are often
complex. It takes years of experience to successfully bring these factors
together to the satisfaction of all parties."
Let’s face it. There are professional Real Estate people who have been in the business for several years. Then again, in this economy agents are coming and going faster than
traffic on Daytona International Speedway. With all the slick advertising and websites,
it’s hard to tell who the real deal is and who is selling real estate because
they are out of work as an accountant, teacher, auto mechanic, ... pick your
favorite occupation.
The other unfortunate by-product of the economy is that it takes longer to sell a home than ever before. Sellers become impatient, and novice agents will blame the property condition for the lack of interest.
"You should replace the carpet, fence in the yard, plant more trees, get rid of
your dog..." Anything to take the focus off the real problem: lack of
experience or, frankly, the grit to do the hard work necessary to sell a home in
these difficult times. Not only that, but they may not have the financial stability and resources to properly market and advertise your property.
An experienced agent will tell you honestly what things about your property need to be addressed, what things about your property have no real impact on the marketability, and adjust the marketing plan to respond to feedback on the
property.
