If only it were that easy!When I am representing a homeowner in the sale of their property, I am:
- creatively presenting their home in the best possible light
- aggressively marketing their home to potential buyers
- diligently following up with each Realtor who shows the property to potential purchasers
But many sellers want me to go one step further --- and convince the buyers to buy!
The reality is that I often don't have that opportunity! Most buyers these days are working with a Realtor and thus have someone representing their interests. I can talk the ear off of their Realtor to try to convince them of the merits of the house that their client has viewed, but I don't have the ability to directly affect the buyers' decision making.
Alas,
in a market where sales are much slower than previous years, most homeowners really wish that I (or their Realtor) could make that connection with the potential buyers --- and somehow, somehow, convince them to buy!
