REALTOR'S TOP 12 PET PEEVES
For most people, their home is the largest asset they’ll ever own. That means that when it comes time to sell it, many experience a welling of emotions that makes them eager, anxious, and overwhelmed simultaneously. (A dangerous combination indeed.) While Realtors® are there to help navigate this tricky time, often sellers become their own worst enemies -- and drive their agents nuts along the way. We asked real estate pros to share the behaviors sellers exhibited that bothered them most. See if any of these sound familiar. 1.Sticking around for showings “A homeowner who not only would remain in the house during all showings and open houses. He insisted upon following me around and telling the buyers his personal stories. He even rolled up his pants leg to show off an injury he sustained while riding on a motorcycle. Suffice it to say, those buyers never returned. The house did not sell and I happily released the listing.” -- Melissa Assael , Real Estate Broker, Douglas Ellima
