Find Hidden Real Estate Prices
Although the logic escapes me, many Realtors do not provide sales prices, when advertising homes for sale. They operate on the old, tired business practice of printing teaser ad’s or brochures, that force customers to call or email a sales person. This annoying ”game” is a disservice to buyer and seller, alike. But, many agent’s still hide basic property information, attempting to latch onto an unwitting customer they can flip into some type of sale.
The new Google Base website for home listings circumvents this questionable and irritating practice, by revealing the hidden sales prices for listed homes.
Tip for Buyers: If you are house hunting and resent the phone tag game, go to Google Base to find the hidden asking prices. Refuse to track down any sales agent to get basic information. Unfortunately, for the innocent home seller, I always eliminate properties from my candidate list, when I discover the listing agent is a game player. I simply move on to the next listing that is represented by someone who values my time and intellegence. Life is too short to put up with a listing agent who plays hide and seek with the home seller’s information.
Tip for Sellers: If your home is listed with an agent, have them acknowlege in writing, that they will provide easy access to all information about your home, including the price. Make sure they use an InfoTube or InfoBox to ensure that home information is readily available to drive by traffic. Seller’s, you don’t profit from missed buyer inquiries, nor do you benefit from an agent flipping potential buyers to other listings. A good agent will give your home as much exposure, to as many people as possible. And, they will utilize all means, low and high tech, to provide instant information when the customer wants it…even while they are sitting in front of your home.
