LISTING AND MARKETING YOUR HOME

The fifth responsibility of your Listing Agent for getting your property sold is to Persist Through All Challenges of the Transaction Until Closing:

The process from listing your home to closing the transaction is long and littered with mines. The challenges are great. Inspections cause buyers to change their minds and kill the deal, but so does ‘buyers remorse’. Appraisals may throw everyone back into negotiations. Closings are late about 30% of the time and coordinating the closings and possession of 3 or 4 transactions that are strung together like a train will stretch patience to the breaking point and require exceptional diligence on the part of your Realtor®. Issues, questions, disclosures (or the lack thereof) erupt at the most inopportune times. Your agent will protect you from most of the stress, keep you informed, solve myriad problems, find key answers, and negotiate skillfully to hold things together and get the transaction closed for you. Most importantly, he or she will maintain their cool and resist reacting to provocations in order to make this happen.
