Should You List Your Home with a FRIEND?

It is not unusual for homeowners to list their homes with a friend or relative when the time comes to sell. It may be a good decision to list with someone you know, or it might be a mistake. Here are some things to consider from a business point of view:

Your home is probably your largest financial asset, and although you may feel an emotional obligation to list with a particular person, buying or selling a home is a major business transaction. If your friend or relative does not have the necessary qualifications to effectively market your home, professionally negotiate terms, and bring the sale to a successful closing, you may lose valuable time while your home stays on the market.

Does your friend have marketing and professional advantages? – a worldwide website and a large relocation network to bring buyers to your home? A "Talking House" to capture the drive-by buyer? A well-established network and strong marketing program with local Realtors? Proven negotiating skills and a lengthy background of experience in successfully resolving unexpected problems?

Be sure that you understand what your Realtor has to offer. It may be the difference between success or failure in selling your home.
