It is hard to be friendly when you have to go through a 3rd party.
Christine Durocher of Guelph recently sold her house. She had been trying for some time. She listed her house in time for the big "SPRING MARKET". She had called upon an agent she knew quite well to list it and it hit the MLS on Mar 26 2009 at $264,000.
After being on the market for a few months and not getting the results she needed (a SOLD sign on her front lawn) she called Tonya Brubacher in our office. Because Christine didn't have to pay the $13,860 (including GST) in commissions she was able to better price her home. She listed on June 4th for $258,000 with PropertyGuys.com and was able to sell her house within 2 weeks for 97.7% of the asking price. This decision allowed Christine to pay herself $13,230 (including GST) in commissions.
Here are Christine's comments on the the sale of her home.
"PropertyGuys.com is definitely the way to go. We are very pleased with the outcome and it didn't take very long to sell our home. Thank you to Tonya and PropertyGuys.com"
I guess the only thing worse than having someone stuck in the middle would be to have THIS guy stuck in the middle...

From our selling experience (5 times via realtor, the most recent via PG) the absence of a realtor makes the process much more personal, friendly and less adversarial. The trick selling privately is to have the buyers feel comfortable coming to you directly. Most buyers feel like they NEED to have an agent, especially since for them it seems to be "free". Our most recent move was a private purchase (again with PG) and we actually ENJOYED the process!
