An Easy Exit Listing Puts
YOU In Control!
MONEY SAVING ADVICE: Never sign a listing based on vague
verbal promises. Some agents will tell you whatever you want to
hear in an effort to get you to sign a listing.
Traditionally, real estate agents have required home sellers to
sign long term listing agreements. Unfortunately, many sellers
found that after listing their homes, the promised advertising
and marketing efforts did not occur.
This is understandably a key reason why home sellers are
concerned about listing their home with a real estate company.
How do you know that the company will uphold their promises? How
do you know that you have an agent who fully understands the art
of marketing and is skilled at attracting a steady stream of
qualified, ready-to-buy buyers through your home?
NEW PROGRAM: While a written agreement is necessary,
there is no reason that you have be locked into a long term
listing agreement. Now the risk and anxiety associated with
listing your home can be eliminated, thanks to my Easy Exit
listing.
The Easy Exit listing allows you to cancel your listing
at any time, for any reason. If at any time you are not 100%
satisfied with my marketing effort, you can exit from the
listing just by calling me on the phone or sending me a letter.
No hassle. No questions asked.
WARNING: If you decide to list your home with a real
estate company, don't be tied up by a listing without specific,
written, verifiable performance guarantees and an Easy
Exit listing.
Your listing contract should
state exactly and specifically what services and marketing the
agent and company will do for you. How many open houses each
month? How many showings (minimum) every month? How many
advertisements in the newspaper every month? Will your home be
in every issue of the Homes magazine? How many feedback calls
will you receive every month?
MOST IMPORTANT: Your listing contract should state that
if the agent does not perform and produce results exactly as
promised that you can cancel the listing, at no cost or further
obligation to you. Without this protection clause, you are
gambling with what may be your most valuable asset.
Statistically, a real estate agent skilled in marketing can sell
your home for 6% more than an agent unskilled in marketing. On a
$100,000 home, that's a whopping $4,000! Know your agent and his
or her qualifications!
So, please, feel free to call me without any commitment or
obligation. You can call me 24-hours a day at 651-779-2411 or
