[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently listed my condo for sale.  First time ive sold a place in a long time. I was kind of shocked that the selling agent doesn't actually show the house to prospective buyers. They list on the MLS and sit back.  Okay, so they don't actually do a showing, I figured they would at least get feedback and talk to the buyer/buyer's agent....nope, there's some ShowingTime app which exists for feedback, but out of dozens of showings I think we got 1 to provide comments.

The place wasn't selling, every time I tried to check in with the agent it was, "well the Facebook views are really high so we are doing a great job marketing it!" I understand that agents aren't magic and can't make a sale happen, but it sure felt like the seller's agent wasn't doing jack shit.  biggest scam industry that exists.[/quote]

What the realtor did not tell you that the only things that can sell the property are

1.  Attractive pictures
2.  A good price

There’s nothing else the realtor can do for you.  They can negotiate on your behalf when an offer comes in.  That’s it.  It is a pretty good gig for them.[/quote]

Again why don’t you do it if it is so easy?   [/quote]
