When you go to sell your home, if this is the first time you have done so, many vendors feel that they shouldn’t hand over the marketing of such an important piece of their life to just anyone. Many vendors are very proud and emotionally attached to their home. It is where their kids have grown up, where special events in their life have occurred.
Other vendors are so in tune with the quirks of their house that they do not feel comfortable about allowing others into their home unattended and also they may not even trust the agent they have employed to sell their home.
Well vendors if you are serious about selling your house it may be time to stand back and allow the agent you spent so long select get on with their job and sell your home without your interference.
In many cases vendors feel they are doing the potential purchasers a favour by sticking around and giving them a running commentary as they view the house. The vendors knows the house like no one else, however the vendor is slightly biased. The purchaser can be put off as they may not want to insult the vendor by mentioning something that does not suit them. In many cases where the vendor has shown the hope there are lost opportunities as the potential purchasers cannot relax and evaluate the house to their satisfaction. In some cases vendors can pre-empt problems with the house and give information before being asked thus highlighting the negative elements in the home, many of which the purchaser may have overlooking or not deemed as important.
In saying all this, it is important for the vendor to remain close to the selling process. The proper and most efficient way to do this is to liaise with the agent whom they select because they trust them. The agent will keep the vendor up to date with all aspect of the sale and the potential purchasers will feel more comfortable dealing with a professional agent.
