The Experienced or Busy Seller
Some people don't want to be bothered with the details. Those who are too busy or already have some real estate knowledge and/or experience may prefer a more hands off approach to selling their home.
This type of seller typically expects simply to be kept abreast of the big picture and to be notified when deadlines are met.
For those of you who fit into this category, you'll want to take the following into consideration:
#1 Determine Your Motivation Timeline & Goals
Take the time to sit with your realtor to discuss your selling motivation, timeline and goals. This is a crucial and necessary first step in order to formulate an appropriate sales strategy and put you in control.
#7 Discuss How, When & How Often
Then, determine when and how often you'd like to receive status updates as well as how you would like to receive this communication.
For example, most of my clients choose to receive email notifications once a week, while others prefer a weekly phone call or text. But, regardless of what you want, make sure you establish your preferences in advance to avoid potential conflict or disappointments.
#3 Selling is a Process
And remember, selling a home is a process. There are many moving parts, floating deadlines, and people involved, with differing wants, needs, communication styles and hours of availability. So be clear and upfront about yours, and you'll win big every time!
