Choosing your real estate agent: The Biggest Mistake a Seller can make...

Comparing real estate agents to sell your Viera Florida home, involves (or should) an evaluation of the real estate agents in multiple areas.  Sometimes sellers will base their decision on only one or two points.

The biggest mistake in selecting a real estate agent to sell your Viera home is to make the choice based on which agent told you to list your Viera home for the highest price.

As a seller it is always nice to hear someone throw out a high price but a high price without supporting data is just a number.

Another factor that should never be the major determinant when you sell your Viera, Florida home is the commission charged.

A discounted commission means very little if your home will not sell with discounted service.

Your real estate agent should earn the money you will be paying them to sell your Viera, Florida home.

Don't look at any commission fee without a marketing plan to go with it.  Know what your real estate agent will be doing to earn their fee.

Selecting a Realtor® to Help Sell Your Viera, Suntree and Rockledge Home

The mechanics of selling your Viera, Suntree or Rockledge, Florida home is no different than any other seller in Brevard County, Florida.

But, you are not the same as any other seller.

Sure there are common characteristics and goals shared by most sellers (obtaining the most $$$, timely selling) but, on the other hand, sellers have different needs, concerns, and circumstances (like short sale, estate sale, job transfer).

When choosing a Realtor® to market your Brevard County home, decide up front before the first interview what you are looking for in your Realtor®.

All sellers and all Realtors® are not the same.  Choose a real estate agent who will listen to you, tell you what you need to hear, and put a realistic market plan in action.

In Viera, Suntree and Rockledge, Florida I ask you to consider me when you are ready to sell your home.

Selling Your Brevard County Home: Choosing Your Brevard County, Florida Real Estate Agent.

Fired before hired... I have had that happen to me.

No, it is not one of those hit the road moments but rather when the prospect and I both realize it just is not going to work.

Sometimes it is while discussing the Brevard County, Florida real estate market with a buyer prospect (are you a qualified buyer?).

I have had it happen more than a few times over the years with sellers, particularly in the Viera and Suntree areas.  (Are you a motivated enough to sell your home in a buyer’s market?)

Selling your home is work - for both the you and your real estate agent.  It takes motivation.
A real estate agent, no matter how good, can not motivate a seller.

It is not than I am an overly selective real estate agent but why shouldn't I be choosy about my clients?  It is my reputation.  It is my livelihood.

Call me when you are ready to sell your Brevard County home!

It is my commitment to exceed client expectations.

Brevard County Florida Real Estate Agent - www.GaryWatersRealty.com

I have had a web blog (Florida Homes For Sale - Melbourne, Viera, Rockledge Florida Real Estate) for almost five years. 

I just changed the site address to www.GaryWatersRealty.com in an effort to help folks find me by name.  I learned this week that a client needed to locate me and they knew my name, where I worked, and everything else - but they could not remember the more difficult web site name.

So this morning I changed the registration to www.GaryWatersRealty.com.

I hope that helps others as well!  By the way my other web site www.moving2brevard.com remains unchanged.

If I can help you buy or sell a house or condo in Brevard County, Florida, please call me directly at 321-693-3850 or email me.

"Hanging and Giving" Does Not Sell Houses in Brevard County Florida

I was speaking with another agent this morning about pricing homes to sell in our market area, specifically the Viera area of Melbourne, Florida.  We both agreed. 

Listing a house for more than the realistic price range is only:

• Hanging a sign for the agent, and
• Giving false hope to the seller.

It does not do any good for the seller or the real estate agent.

When you interview your real estate agent in Brevard County and they recommend a listing price, ask them "Is it real or just a place to park a sign?"
