Top 10 things You Don’t want to say to your Listing Clients

Top 10 things You Don’t want to say to your Listing Clients
(But may have to say them anyway)


1. I’m worth every penny I charge in brokerage fees.
2. Your Memphis house is nice, but it isn’t special. I’ve been in countless homes, and your home does not stand out. What can we do to remedy that?
3. I collect things too, but I am not selling my house. Put all that stuff away.
4. You way overpaid when you bought this house in 2006.
5. Do you really think a blue room with a neon green stripe going around it will help your home to sell? Your wallpaper is from the early 70’s…its 2009…
6. I love your collection of small kitchen appliances and canisters. Please add more to your counters so I can see all of them. Do you think you can add another 50 photos of your family to your refrigerator?
7. Open houses are a waste of your time and mine. Don't believe HGTV. The Sunday tire kickers in our market are not buyers. This is not Chicago. Today’s QUALIFIED buyers are coming with their agents and can set an appointment up for a private showing almost anytime.
8. Your house hasn’t been cleaned in months.. Not just a few days; it’s obvious that no one living here picks up after themselves.
9. You spent well over $75,000 on home upgrades, but your neighborhood will not support this investment and your home will never appraise for that much for a return on your investment.
10. I love your two cats, but they sure make your house smell.
11. I am sure that you must be a great cook…but your frying grease is all over the wall behind your cooktop and caked on your burners…maybe you could make that look new again?

Ok..so I gave you eleven…just a blogger’s bonus.
Good Luck..
