hello all
some vendors choose to sell their properties privately and explicitly
emphasise “NO AGENTS”. what are the main reasons for that?i can only guess:
1) to save some agent fees
2) got bad experience with agents
3) being a good negotiator and thus could possibly sell the property for a good priceany other important reasons?
thanks
kenkenzhang,
Those are all very valid reasons for selling a house yourself, and are probably the main ones!
Read Neil Jenman’s “Don’t Sign Anything” for an expansion on all of those ideas and perhaps a few others if you’re interested.
Good luck,

and the reason they specifically say ‘no agents’ is that they dont want agents calling them up asking ‘have you had any offers yet? would you like me to give you a free appraisal and chat about our marketing strategy.. etc etc…’
without it (and probably even with it, sigh) probably half the agents in town would ring up to check.
