Myth #6: It’s not a good idea to
list with a real estate agent who has a lot of listings, especially if
some of them are in your own neighborhood.
Truth: Actually, it’s to your
advantage if that's the case!
Many sellers mistakenly feel
that if an agent has other listings in the area this will hurt their
selling efforts because that agent may divert potential buyers to those
other homes instead of theirs.
Actually,
what really
happens is that all of those competing properties generate a higher
level of buyer activity for all of the properties which benefits
everybody. Some buyers calling in on your home may ultimately decide to
buy one of the other homes because of personal preferences but, in the
same regard, buyers looking at the other homes will also be introduced
to yours by the agent. This is a tremendous benefit to you. Buyers very
seldom buy the home they first call in about.
Every listing is another “billboard”
which generates valuable buyer calls which is the first step in
developing a good working relationship between the agent and the buyer.
As a result most qualified buyers are working with real estate agents
who have the larger personal listing inventories. This is a major
benefit to all of the sellers listed with those agents.
Fact: One major advantage of
listing with
is that every call generated by a sign, ad, or special marketing
promotion goes directly to Sandi instead of being answered by whomever
happens to be on “floor duty,” which is what typically happens in a
real estate office. Sandi's sellers are confident that all inquiry calls
are much more likely to be converted to a sale.
