“Tell It Like It Is Riley!”
October 29th, 2010 | categories: Selling Real Estate in Coconut Grove
When I go on a listing appointment I always give the homeowner a realistic value of their home. It may hurt to hear the truth in some cases, but most people respect my honesty. It was refreshing to go on a listing appointment last week where the homeowners said “Just tell it like it is Riley, what number will it take to get this house sold?”.
On the other end of the spectrum you have some homeowners who don’t want to hear the truth. They get angry and like to shoot the messenger. These are the same type of people who hire a realtor based on who gives them the highest price.
So even though I may lose a listing here or there for giving a REAL valuation of a home based on the recent comparables, I still believe that honesty is the best policy.
I know the numbers, I analyze the market, my clients make better decisions. If you would like to buy or sell real estate in Coconut Grove and are looking for an experienced Realtor, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 305.342.1623 or send me a note here.
