Hi everyone. Your Tampa Bay real estate expert Lance Mohr and in this video I
want to go over why agents are getting complacent in this real estate market
and how they're costing you the seller thousands of dollars because of their
complacency all right so everybody knows right now pretty much all over the US
we're in a really good real estate market and where I'm at Tampa Bay it's
one of the hotter markets in the nation in what's happening is not only just
homeowners are getting real complacent when hi Bri and real estate agents but a
lot of the agents are getting real complacent and the other week I had a
conversation with an agent they came up to me and they asked if I could look at
listing of theirs to see why it hasn't sold it's been on the market several
months I mean I think it's like on a 2 or 3 months and it was a pretty good
price range a little over what the average in the market is selling out
there's a ton of buyers in this price range so I looked at it and I asked them
quite a few questions you know try to get an idea from them why their pictures
were just average why their description wasn't really that good and engaging you
know what type of marketing they did were doing on the home etc and the agent
basically just responded back to me well I just thought the home would sell
because you know the market were in and I've seen this more and more I'm seeing
a lot of sellers are real complacent hiring agents thinking no agents you
know or any different you know they're all the same and a lot of real estate
agents they get in there they don't really go full force they just sort of
go halfway or maybe they don't know what to do that could be the case as well
they don't know what to do when it comes to listing and so you as a homeowner you
as a seller it's your job to interview agents and monitor what the agents doing
because in this case with the real estate agent a home being on the market
90 days hit shot born and I told them I said you know just so you know your
complacency your sellers complacency is literally going to cost them
thousands of dollars and I'm not talking one or two or three I'm talking to
probably costume my guess would be at least $10,000 because I think everybody
knows and if you're a homeowner remember when you were buying the home it's when
homes get shop one people are wondering what's wrong with it why hasn't it sold
why aren't any why isn't anybody making an offer on the home and when it homes
been on the market 60 or 90 days and a hot market like dot and the even if the
home at 300 or 400 thousand dollars the seller shoot themselves in the foot
because the home shop learn even when they get down to the fair market value
which this one is at fair market value the subject property I'm talking about
but it's still not getting any offers and it's just going to get less and less
showings and unfortunately all those all the buyers out there that were
interested enough to look at the home they're gone
they've even move very even they've moved on to something else re or they've
actually bought in another home so if your agent complacent then you need to
get on your agent but don't be complacent yourself because
when you're selling a home you need to go for an agent that really knows what
they're doing it's like if you watch my videos or you say there's two main
things to a real estate agent you're going to hire to list your home number
one is their marketing almost period but behind that I would say is their
negotiating skill and it's your job as a seller to hire the agent if an agent
doesn't do a good job in their laxed or they take poor pictures or they're not
doing marketing I mean you can't blame the agent you hire them so interview the
agents watch some of my videos and how to sell homes if you have any questions
