Choosing the right agent to sell your home is important but there are other factors to consider. Price, condition and location
Sellers have the most control over the price and condition. When buyers search for homes they do some comparison shopping. How does your home stack up?

Loving it loving it loving it loving it.
There’s still the tendency of overpricing the homes…and no matter how pretty they may be, they will not sell even if they change the agent 1000 times.
It’s happening here in Montreal as well, but mostly with revenue property and high end condos.
Yes, this seems to be a common practice just about everywhere.
Last week my customers went to put an offer on a house, only to find out we had to track down a new agent to do it, it had been taken off the market and re-listed.
The owner also lowered the price 10K which got us in the middle of a bidding war.
Did the new agent sell the house? No. But now it sure looks like she did….
This is one of my pet peeves. Change the price before changing agents. If the house does not sell at the new reduced price, then get a new agent. If the house sells at the same price with the new agent, then the agent is doing something right. However, changing agents at the same time you change the price does not make the new agent successful at selling your house. What it does is prove you should have lowered the price with any of the previous agents and gotten the same result: sold!
Isn’t it more fun to be the second or third agent than it is to be the first? Spend almost no money time or effort and get paid too.
Hello,
We just got a new site through http://www.real-estate-designers.com do you recommend print media or internet pay-per-click advertising for our new real estate website? Please advise. Thank you.
u are changing the agents- as long as the contract between you and the agent passed, u are allowed to find another real estate broker
I love being the 2nd or 3rd agent in the door. By that time the seller has woken up to the fact that their home is not worth what they think it is!
