Seniors Real Estate Specialist

One of the most common complaints I hear from new real estate agents is that they are struggling to come up with new ideas for their first selling client. Obtaining buyer clients appears to be relatively simple, and many brokers appear to be terrified of locating listing clients. Here are a few tried-and-true strategies for finding listings.

When choosing a listing agent, what factors do sellers consider?

"Buyers buy houses, sellers buy marketing," goes the old adage. This, I feel, is correct! Your potential listing has only two objectives: to sell quickly and for the most money possible. They typically feel that a well-known realtor will be able to help them!
