10. TAKING ADVICE FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Everyone who’s ever sold a house has stories to tell and advice to give. But not all markets are the same. And if your cousin sold his house 20 years ago, in the middle of the housing bubble, and your uncle sold his condo 10 years ago at the beginning of the housing bust, their experiences will be different from yours today. The best advice your family and friends can give you is the name of a real estate agent they liked and trusted. HOW I CAN HELP: I will use my years of experience to help you in these ways. • Conduct a market analysis that helps us price the property realistically. • Train my fresh and experienced eye on your property and help you present your home in its best light. • Post your listing on the MLS and several other online listing services, where most people begin their property search. • Create must-read material and go to must-attend open houses. • Do the paperwork. • Help you locate contractors, lawyers, and title companies.
