MY THOUGHTS ON WHY REDFIN WILL FAIL.
(Buyers do not pay the commission)

Thursday, May 7, 2009

is 6% reasonable

is 6% reasonable.
what is reasonable to sell someone's home.
people are just trying to get to the next level.
the next phase in their life. its traumatic, its exciting, its a lot of things.

And its crazy expensive.

So people have tried breaking it down.
Appraisal
MLS
Marketing
Open House
Showings
Negotiations
Contract
Close

all this for 6%.

If you catch real estate agents in a moment of honesty (good luck) they will tell you that one thing and one thing only sells property.

without this one thing, nothing else matters.

you can have the house on CNN news network for 90 days straight and it won't sell, without this one thing.

what is its. Its price.

You need to set the correct price for it to sell. There is such a thing as market value. It is subjective, perhaps by 10 to 20k max. thats it. Every property has price at particular time.
And in the future it will have another price, but at the moment it has a price, like stock.

FSBO, For Sale By Owners, often get this wrong. Because they lack experience AND because they want to try it out, "test the market" see if they can get a little more. But in reality they are wasting time and making their house grow stale. Price right from the beginning and the house will sell quickly and a lot more than if you "tested the market"

so is that all, price?

no.... of course not. If you are so luck to get 2 honest answers out of the real estate agent, his first one would be price.

the Second will be the almighty, the grand daddy, the bootylicious MLS. My Lousy Service.

just kidding. It stands for Multiple Listing Service. Created about 20 years ago to help agents work together, it has now become the beginning and the end of the real estate agents life.

So please get on MLS quickly, if you want to sell.
