"I should be in a commercial"

"I should be in a commercial." I should, but I am not the one who said that. Recently a buyer I had shown a few properties decided to pursue a FSBO (for sale by owner) listing on her own. You may have read about the included dishwasher that was sold at a rummage sale. She called to give me an update on her progress and thought she would be a good spokesperson for the pro-Realtor cause. The level of emotion between seller and buyer has made her transaction difficult to say the least. The lack of understanding of the process on the part of the seller has led to many a road block. The inspection in particular caused an unfounded level of grief. When you work with me, I do more than show you houses and shuffle paper work. From offer to close, this is what I do. I know how it works and how to avoid problems. Think you might be interested in a FSBO, ask to see it. Let the agent make contact and see where it goes. Chances are good your journey will be a smoother one.
