We signed up with a Realtor today and got the house on the
MLS. The FSBO thing was fun for a bit, but it just isn't
quite there yet. I think in a few more years it's going to
be all the rage, but for now Realtors still control a huge
share of the market. Since I don't want to wait a few years
to sell my house, it's the MLS or bust.
We went with a pair of Realtors that seem to work together
as a team. They approached us while we were doing FSBO, and
offered to show us their marketing plan. This was a good
sign that they either: a) had a buyer and wanted to ensure a
commission; or, b) housing inventories were so low they
needed to boost listings by going after FSBO folks. I'm kind
of hoping both are true, actually.
That's all the update on that matter... and ince I've taken
to multiple posts per-day on different subjects, it's
probably all I should put in this file.
