Just popped over to The San Diego Home Blog and found this. Really nice. I laughed out loud. For those who didn’t already visit there, I wanted to pass it along.

Thanks, Russ, although my post really could have benefited from your most outstanding photos. We should combine forces and conquer the world. 🙂

It seems like agents love to ask that question. Have you thought that maybe the agent that asks the question takes overpriced listings where the seller is not motivated. After all, you have to have listings to last.

Loved Kris’ post. We got a “are the sellers motivated?” call just this afternoon.
I so wanted to say, “No, they are not. They have no desire what-so-ever to sell their home. Why the hell are you bothering me on a Sunday?”
Instead I got a little snotty and said, “Why don’t you submit an offer and let’s find out?”

I do some property and I am well aware of the minimal efforts my agents do. I have 7 properties on their books and every time I call them they have to look up my file such is their lack of involvement.

I’m with Paul on this one, my agents don’t know whats going on with my properties half the time…and they manage 13 on my behalf.

My standard and legal based response for the few non-short sale listings I have is, “I know that they are willing to accept the asking price. Do you have a concern about the asking price?” It puts the onus on them and we get to cut straight to the objections.

I have to disagree with both Steve and Paul above, my agents are great. They are switched on when it comes to the UK market and rarely have they got it wrong.
