Most realtors see other agents being vague and non-committal on how to handle multiple offers, so they think that's how to do it. But hiding out and refusing to have a game plan helps no one - especially the seller - yet it never occurs to agents to do it differently....
I also wanted to test the Zillow lead generator. Now that they have buried the three Premier Agents at the bottom of the listing, how do consumers get more information - and from who do they get it? They added the Contact Agent box at the top of the listing, which...
There are a few Zillow issues to unpack here, so let's start with them saying they are willing to buy your house for the amount of the zestimate - which is fine, if you don't care about cashing in on the actual value. In their press release, the boss claims that the...
Unlike the big teams who have clerks do all their listing inputs, I do them myself. I feel it is the core of the business - it's important to get the listing input right. I got a lesson in that today. I inputted our new listing at 3:45pm yesterday, and this morning...

We see it more and more these days - listing agents who shut down showings of their listings. I'm sure most would say, "What do you want me to do? I had 20-30 appointment times available, and they all booked up!" When faced with having to work harder, smarter, or...
