How To Avoid Tying Yourself Up With A 3 To 6 Month Listing.
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 to 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. What specific advertising, marketing, and positioning will you use to promote my home'? How often will I get an update on progress, either verbal or in written form?; How often will you review current market conditions as they are related to my home by informing me on what has sold, what has come on the market, and what has expired?
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.
Real Estate Brokers and Agents skilled in effective marketing can sell your home for 6% more than an unskilled Real Estate Broker or Agent.
