Real Estate Selling Tip - Accept That Not Everyone Will Like Your House

When you use a real estate agent to market your house for sale, he or she usually hears all the comments (good and bad) about the property. The realtor will usually provide you with feedback from open house days and show throughs. When providing feedback, the realtor might "tone-down" some of the comments, so that you don't get offended by what people say.

However, when you are selling your property yourself (FSBO) , you’ll probably hear these comments first hand. Although, realize that sometimes people will have a different attitude when talking directly with the property owner. Either they’ll be more polite by not telling you what they really think about your house, or they’ll be very direct and attempt to knock the price down by criticizing the property at every opportunity.

Anyway, be prepared for people to pick holes in you home. It may not always be pleasant as to some extent they are criticizing your personality. You probably chose the décor... you planted the trees... you designed the kitchen layout etc. So when someone says “it sucks!” …that’s not very nice to hear.

Accept that you are never going to please everyone.

TO SELL YOUR HOUSE -IT TAKES ONLY ONE QUALIFIED BUYER!

By using a systematic marketing plan you should have a steady flow of potential buyers that make the negative observations of any single person look irrelevant.
