Yesterday I met with a friend who is trying to sell their house in CT. I am not their REALTOR (I don’t work in CT) and he expressed that their agent is a friend who has wrked hard on their behalf. His frustration with the home’s failure to sell wasn’t focused on blaming the agent, which I found so refreshing, but simply the stress of owning two homes.
I experienced that same stress just over a year ago when I was in a situation where I HAD to sell my home to downsize and I could sense his emotions fraying over the issue.
Being the nosy person that I am, I started asking some detailed questions. I wanted to know:
1-is the home staged
2- is the paint fresh and neutral
3-details on the kitchen and baths
4- details on garage
After getting these answers I started in on the marketing and discovered that it appears that his agent is doing absolutely no intenet marketing for his house.
