This is sort of Real Estate Related

Question: Our home is listed with a Broker. We have had quite a few showings. It amazes me how little the Real estate agents who show my home know about my home? Isn’t it their job to know all about my home? How are they going to sell it if they don’t know much about it?

Answer: I think you are a bit unfair. How is a Realtor supposed to know everything about your home when they have probably never seen it before?  A Realtor uses the MLS report to review your homes details prior to their viewing. A Realtor can use his/her experience to point out important details about the home to the buyers as they walk through.                                                                                                                                                                      Many sellers put out home information flyers highlighting the many features that their home offers.

This is always welcomed by prospective buyers.

You can write down all the features you want, but what about the feeling buyers get when they walk through your home?  Do they feel comfortable? Do they like the layout? How does the home look?   Is it updated? Is it cluttered? Does the home look run down, or does it show that it’s been well cared for? Do they experience that Wow factor?  These very important feelings do not require a Realtor to know every detail about your home.  

If you want your home to sell at the price you expect, then it’s up to you to help create these positive feelings, by making your home look as appealing as possible. If you’ve had quite a few showings and no offers on your home, then it’s time to start listening to your Brokers suggestions, instead of blaming the Real estate agents.
