Do I look Stupid?

If I have to hear one more person say “why don’t you call my Mom/Brother/Cousin/Friend… and they’ll give you real-estate advice”, I’m going to smack someone! Why do they think I’m incapable of doing this? I swear, the conversation would go something like this:

Them: So you want to sell your place?
Me: Yes.
Them: Do you know what you want to list it for?
Me: Yes.
Them: Do you know what other houses in your area are selling for?
Me: Yes.
Them: Do you know what the minimum amount you’ll take is?
Me: Yes.
Them: Do you want to list it with me? (sounding all optimistic)
Me: No.
Them: Alright then. Bye-Bye.

See! See how pointless that conversation is? I don’t need advice. I’m selling a house, not performing brain surgery! Oh, and if you are my friend, don’t just assume that you get to list my house! Especially since YOU SUCK as a realtor! I know she doesn’t read my blog, but it’s good to just get it out there. I mean, I think everyone would agree what when you bring your 2 year old with you to show a house, you aren’t a good agent to have, or is that just me?

Anyway, enough venting. I have 2 people interested in it and I am listing it with a realtor Monday if I don’t have a contract yet. Tomorrow, around 5am~ish, my parents are getting in their car and driving down here to take some of my stuff home. Aren’t they great? So, they’ll be here around 7pm~ish. I’d better have food ready and their bed made up! It still feels weird, like it’s not really happening. I’m sure it’ll sink in when someone is telling me to get out of their house since I don’t own it anymore!

Did that person REALLY hang up after being turned down?

What kind of salesperson would she be if she didn't ask you for the listing??

I hope one of the two people snag your house for your asking price. And I love kids but a 2 year old ripping through a potential house sale? Umm--no.
