[5-DayForum] 5-DayForum] Re. Advertising your sale

[JaProe]

Hi Bill,

I believe the realtors have an automatic notification system for properties that have expired listing agreements.  Most of these sharks intimated that I had a realtor that didn't know what he was doing and they could do a much better job of marketing the house.  One realtor even said that if the house was priced right in the first place it would sell right away. . . . .less their commission of course.   Most of the realtors I spoke with were fascinated by your system, but skeptical.

  Jack,

  Actually, all the other realtors count, too.

  The point of a 5-Day ad is to make sure everybody who ought to know your home is for sale, does know.  That includes circling brokers.

  It doesn't matter whether they bring buyers or not.

  As far as I am concerned, you've got the 25 you need to ensure the 3 real ones will be in the crowd.

  Where are the brokers coming from?

    Hi Sarah,

    Can you give us an update on your responses?  If I read your email correctly you had 12 by noon today.  Just 13 more and you are ready to sell!  Sorry to hear that your newspaper ad was mis-categorized.

    As you know, our sale is running this weekend too.  So far we have had 24 direct contacts:  1 from Zillow, 6 from the Strib Open House Directory, 9 from Craigslist, 4 from the Strib real estate classified, and 4 from other sources.  We have brochures on a post in front of the house and 25 have been taken.  It looks like we'll have the 25 contacts by tonight.  Since our home is coming off the MLS we have had many, many calls from realtors wanting to re-list the house.  I have counted as contacts only realtors that said they will be coming to the inspection either representing clients (we don't pay commissions) or as private investors.

    This weekend my son and daughter-in-law, my wife and our realtor will be on hand to greet visitors and answer questions.

    Best of luck on your sale!
