“When you have 60 listings you don’t have time for all that, but when you’re a well established and respected realtor with a small number of listings, with a lot of contacts in the business, I think that can go a lot further in getting a home sold….”
djrobsd The odds that the agent you list with has somebody that he or she knows who will buy your house near the price you want is very slim. It does happen sometimes. Mostly the MLS and the price sells the house. There are other ways as long as the price is right and you can get some exposure. All the mystique and hype are to be taken with a grain of salt. That is mostly about Realtors trying to compete for your attention and has nothing to do with selling a house.
And…as long as I am butting in. Ray you kind of suggested that the seller look at a Realtor on this blog. It almost seemed like an admonishment. I think all the Realtors here would understand that people do not always want to include a known entity in their business affairs. Even friends,friends of friends or fellow bloggers. Nice of you to go to bat but it really is something to leave on an “each to his own” basis..IMHO.
