A client of mine is always on the lookout for properties for sale. Although she is not ready to buy yet, she likes to see what options are out there for her, and she’s always checking out the available inventory.
Last week, I had asked on Twitter and Facebook “what’s the one thing you expect most from your real estate agent?” The responses varied in general, but one specific thing that came up was that people wanted their real estate agent to listen. A novel concept, really … we all want to be heard. Out of that question, someone on Twitter followed up by suggesting that when you have a contract with a listing agent, you can’t fire them, even when that agent isn’t listening.
I still don’t understand why articles in the Sunday New River Valley Current Real Estate section aren’t linked online, but I can write up the article here. Sarah Cox took the time to sit down and find out a little bit about what makes Nest Realty different from other real estate firms here in the area.
Interesting how things seem to fall into place all at once.
A few days ago I linked to a bit from The Dave Ramsey show, where Dave talks about why he’d use a real estate agent to sell real estate in spite of the fact that he might save a little money selling By Owner. As I thought more about it, I realized there were three reasons why I think he got it right.
Dave Ramsey, the guru of getting out of debt, talks a lot on his show about ways to avoid paying unnecessary fees and penalties, and encourages people to save far more than they spend – novel concept, right?
