Would you buy this listing
... with absolutely no information provided by the listing agent in the Charleston MLS.
With the lack of information provided, it's no wonder it languished unsold on the market from August 2007 until March of this year. There was no description and the only thing you know is that a refrigerator and washer are included and a monthly regime is indicated but the cost is $0.
Oh, the picture, as you might expect.
Now the reason that I bring this up (and of course, this is probably the most extreme example I've ever noticed) is that I wonder how many sellers know what the agent that they hired to sell their home is actually doing to do exactly that.
I happened to see this home within a few days of a new agent taking the listing because one of my clients noticed it and wanted to view the home. My client liked it enough to want to write a contract that day but it wouldn't have made much sense to try and write a contract contingent on the sale of another home.
So let's try to sell my clients' current home (shameless promotion ahead)
Maybe you'd be interested in a very nice 2 bedroom townhome in Planters Place in Mount Pleasant for $179,000, click here to view the listing complete with a rich description and more than a dozen photographs or take a virtual tour.
Seller tip: If you are considering selling your home, choose your agent wisely. Then, follow up by checking your listing to make sure that you are getting the kind of marketing exposure you want.
