What Real Estate Agents Should Do Before Listing a House

Funny. Functional qualities are not going to adjust the price at all. There is nothing wrong with taking comps to the house on the 1st visit. It is called not wasting their time. Oh hey realtor what do you think of my value? Oh me, I am sorry I didn't even look yet. I just wanted to come say high. You take the comps, say hey let's look around 1st and then sit down for a chat and look at these comps. That builds rapport right away. The other stuff is true, keep it clean and neutral.

Practice lying?

Ha, Ha, Ha, Red shag carpet. That's funny because I've been house hunting and ran across a listing of a house that had red shag carpet and it was ugly. I also can't stand light color carpet that shows up dirt too easy(especially with kids)

sorry, but this is so obvious!

Good luck Madcat!! I'm sure you'll do well.

nice vid....please make 100 more

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be back to uploading videos soon, once I finish my latest book.

Taking the RE exam tomorrow. Wish me luck! I'll be looking out for the book.

this actually is an excellent video-pretty clear instructions on how a seller should prepare. Per other comments, if your agent isn't doing this, find another!

I always wonder why some realtors take 7 pics of the outside and not one single pic of the inside and expect the house to sell quickly. Makes ya wonder if there is something they are hiding.
