You Can't Handle The Truth!!

If it walks like a duck it probably is, right?

Real estate agents are really nice people. They come over to your house, hold your hand through a stressful situation, explain all the complicated terms like closing costs, land transfer tax and conditional offer.

If you ever feel the need to talk with an agent, list your home for sale privately. They will be falling over themselves to get your attention. Calls, emails, letters, bottles of wine (Thanks Mr. Brown!).

Agents are the first to tell you all the scary issues that are looming without them. Even their ads in the paper likening themselves to surgeons. Maybe you've seen it? "Sure, you could sell your own home. You could also do your own appendectomy." I love that one.

In A Few Good Men, Jack Nicholson immortalized Col. Jessop. Remember "You want me on that wall. You need me on that wall."



How dare we live in homes within the very market that agents provide and then question they way in which they provide it. Just pay your 5% and say thank you and go on your way. Otherwise pick up a sign and put it on your post.

Either way you'll sell.
