You know, we talk about the importance of having a sign in front of the seller’s house.

Why?

Why is that so important?

Well, once you see that sign as a buyer, you know that that listing is going in front of hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
So that’s the first big step.

And what I do as a buyer’s agent, I search the multiple listing service and look for different homes in the price range and what my client is looking for.

Now, what that sign also tells the other agents is that that seller is off limits.

They’re under contract to sell that home.

So myself as a buyer’s agent or any other listing agent is not allowed to contact that seller.

That seller is protected.

Now, when I see a for sale for owner sign All right.

Well, now I go into action and I’m going to call them because I’m in search of a listing.

And that’s what I’d like to do.

However, I was kind of mad at myself the other day because I’ve been watching this house and it’s a brand new house.

No sign, just for sale by owner.

OK, I’m getting ready to call. I go by just to get the phone number.

And sure enough, a realtor sign went up right next to it. So now it’s off limits.

And I did a disservice to myself as well as the person who owns the house because I think I can do a great job in selling your home.

So keep that in mind. And that’s my point today.
