So there are so many funny things that happen in my work. Well, some are funny...some are not funny at all.
I thought it would be a good blog to put together a top five list of things I have heard regularly in my 13 years as a Realtor. Enjoy the list and please, please don't take it too seriously.
1. Zillow says my home is worth $____________. This is typically $10,000-$40,000 ABOVE the price I provided in my detailed market analysis based on my knowledge of the neighborhood and market trends. I have yet to have a seller tell me that Zillow gave them a LOWER number. That would be a funny discussion.
2. I have a friend in real estate. Trust me, everyone, and I mean everyone, has a friend in real estate. In my opinion, I am still the better choice. Period, I stand by this one.
3. Loan docs are on their way...wait, now loan docs are on their way. Did I say today? I meant tomorrow. In a transaction with so many little things that all have to be done is a specific order, this can be the most difficult part. It seems like every set of loan docs has been late on my listings recently, when I represent the seller. Not for my buyers. My lenders rock and know what it means to get things done on time.
4. I know the contract states the home is sold in its present "as is" condition but my buyer would like me to ask for a complete remodel in the next 10 days....at you sellers expense, do you see any problem with the seller getting this done? Ok, ok, I can't make a top five list without a fourth thing on the list so I'll admit this one is grossly exaggerated. Thanks to the massive number of REO and short sales in the past few years, buyers are much more conditioned to take homes as is so this isn't as much of an issue as it was 10 years ago.
5. This was a great experience, thank you Robbie, your the best. I never get tired of hearing this.
