You should take into account when discussing brokerage fees what services and marketing strategies each prospective agent is going to provide you to sell your home. One of the recommended questions to ask real estate agents during interviews relates to their production levels.
Another common lie that some real estate agents will tell sellers is their production levels. There are some home sellers that will put a lot of weight on the number of homes sold by a real estate agent when picking their real estate agent.
This is a crazy thought because there are so many ways a seller can find out about a real estate agents sales. Is it possible some sellers will not hire a real estate agent because they are brand new? Finding out how long an agent has been selling real estate can be achieved by a simple Google search of the real estate agents name or a call to the local real estate association. Another common lie that real estate agents will tell home sellers is that they have a specialty selling specific types of homes, when in reality they have a limited number of sales of said types of properties.
There are many specialties that real estate agents will claim to have. The most common specialties that agents will lie about having include;. The internet has had a huge impact on the real estate industry and is continuing to do so. The majority of home buyers are beginning their home search online. Recently while selling a home in Webster NY , the seller mentioned to me in conversation that one of the real estate agents they interviewed said they were the only agent in the area using the internet to sell their listings.
Can you believe that a real estate agent actually had the courage to make such a false statement? I nearly fell off my chair when the seller told me this. Some real estate agents will lie to home sellers and tell them they are using the internet to sell homes and other agents are not. What is even more appalling about this lie is that some sellers may actually believe an agent who is making these false statements. A real estate agent who really does use the internet to sell homes will have a clear and concise plan to provide you.
Social media and real estate, if used properly together, can help sell a home. Some real estate agents will lie about their use of social media and tell home sellers that they will sell their home because they will put it on social media.
These real estate agents social media profiles are likely filled with only information about their latest and greatest listing. If the realtor has to utilize this sort of business tactic, then they probably aren't the best at their job anyway. Good realtors should provide clients with a comparative market analysis CMA that shows the seller what they could realistically expect for their home, based on other area sales. A great realtor will analyze this information and explain it, piece by piece to the client, so they can understand why their home should be priced at a certain number.
A dishonest realtor can remove certain data from the CMA, creating a report based on selected sales in the area, not all sales. This could manipulate the price of your home up or down, depending on the realtor's motives. If they want a quick sale, they might frame the CMA to show cheaper median home sales, ensuring your home is snatched up quickly.
Throughout a real estate transaction, the buyer and seller will rely on additional parties to facilitate a smooth purchase or sale. Buyers rely on lenders, inspectors, and appraisers while sellers might need to preemptively utilize contactors, handymen, or painters.
A sneaky realtor might suggest their friends , colleagues, or contacts that give them a kickback for referrals even though the suggested party may not be the best deal for you.
Check to make sure your realtor is helping you get the best deal by seeking out multiple quotes or loan options. This relates to the listing and the final sale price. An honest real estate agent will be upfront with expectations and will truthfully market the house, even if certain aspects of the property leave something to be desired. To land the contract, a sneaky realtor might promise you more for your home than you should actually expect.
Knowing sellers are eager to capitalize on profits, the realtor may market themselves as having the expertise and prowess to secure your desired sale price. However, this could cause your home to languish on the market and instigate an eventual price drop.
Shady agents may also embellish the language used when listing your site, promising potential buyers more than your home will deliver. Dilapidated fireplace in desperate need of repair?

I am thinking of making homemade meatballs this weekend for quick meals. If you're going to toss it up, make salad, it's more appropriate, right Ed Silva? The sellers talked me into listing their property higher than the comps. Buyers came through, during an open house, offered a fair price and they laughed I did not renew and they went went through a series of agents Now, I am getting my appetite back Michael Jacobs , thank you for that!
It is a waste and unfair to those consumers who are lacking knowledge in the local market, Carol Williams. I was able to get my listing under contract quickly because it was priced well!
Glad they are doing their work in protecting their buyers against paying more than they should. I submitted an offer on a house for another client and I knew it was way overpriced because it sat and sat. The offered amount was very fair and just above the comparables. He did not respond and it still sits!
Be unreasonable? Being weak and accepting outrageous demands? Tell me that is not true. Welcome to the wonderful world of real estate, where no two days are alike and I can't imagine doing anything else, Rocky Dickerson! Hi Wanda- you have made many people hungry for spaghetti now!!! This reminded me of a neighbor I had many years ago who would list his home at a high price to see if there would be any takers.
It was a big waste of time. Wanda, I'm seeing this too. Just another example of why a buyer needs solid representation. It is so disappointing to buyers when I tell them we can't find comparables that support the list price never-mind if they offer over list. And yes, some of these homes are selling and some are dropping the price later.
Have been thinking about Chicken Piccatta, Kathy Streib! Am experiencing that more in this market than any other one. Many home builders are requiring bids on their product now, which pushes the price into the upper atmosphere and then fall short when it takes a year to build a square foot house.
