Traditional Real Estate vs. Help-U-Sell
I want to share a true story with you that recently took place. I received a call from a former seller whose home I had listed several years ago asking for my help. Her home had still not sold and she wanted me to list the home again, which I gladly did. You might relate to the story she told me. While I had the home listed, the owner was in the process of building and was trying to time the market so she could move once. As such, she was not very motivated and when she didn't get any offers in the six months I had the home listed, she fired me and went to a traditional real estate company. She relisted at the same price and was with the agent for the next year and a half! Next she went to an auctioneer, spent money to advertise the auction, and held open houses only to have the auctioneer tell her there was not enough interest to hold the auction. So, it's back to a traditional company at a lower price for another six months with the same results.
So, she came back to Help-U-Sell. How will the story end? I hope I will be able to say that it will end with the sale of the home. But, for those of you who think having the big name companies sign in your front yard guarantees success in selling your home, think again. And before you offer to pay someone a large chunk of the equity in your home, call us!
