Did u dress up like your profile photo when potential buyers come?

 

[airman88]

They are responsive yes, but u do the hosting yourself.

Biggest risk is when u host u say the wrong things or commit to a lower price than expected if experienced agents try to negotiate directly with you.

I had more than 20 viewings and at least 2-3 tried to find out my final buy price and negotiate directly with me, but I redirect to agent.

So was the eventual buyer with agent?

Did most of the 20 prospective buyers came with agents?

 

[Carnesir]

What is the different between agent and home seller?

If u ask me. Same.

only difference is hosting u do urself.

full agent service honestly overrated. How many times when u tried to do open house and your agent cannot commit and you wasted a viewing opportunity by your buyer?

busy agents can only help you host so many times. You yourself are the best seller cause u lived there for more than 5 years

This statement could well true if they have only one property and no parents place to stay.

Nope some are lone buyers, we had a good chit chat cause many lived in the same vicinity.

That’s right also, agent sometime turn viewer away because got no time. You as seller also know the amenities very well around the estate.

Got cons. Homeseller is very popular nowadays and they wun entertain adhoc or special arrangements.

it seems to be they are doing a lot of things to achieve economies of scale, but I don’t blame them, it is a true disruption to the market.

but if you want your agent to suck up to u, pander to ur whining or whatnots or advise u for things that you don’t even know yourself, better engage typical agent

What sort of adhoc or special arrangements are you referring to?
