Mere Postings for the Private Home Seller

Does adding a mere posting on REALTOR.ca cover your back?

On the 2 year anniversary of the agreement between CREA and the Competition Bureau I wanted to give my thoughts on how adding in a mere posting on REALTOR.ca affects the Private Home Seller.

When you are selling a house it is key that you have all three sides of the Home Selling Trifecta covered. You can add all the exposure you want but if you neglect the other two sides of the triangle you will be deeply disappointed.  Knowing that you can always add exposure as you go, you are best to ensure both your product and your price are right in the beginning.

So 2 years after the ability for private sellers to do a Mere Posting on REALTOR.ca have we seen it as a magic potion to magically sell houses? Not in the least.  It just proves what we have always known here at PropertyGuys.com. Being on the same website as all the agents doesn't sell houses.  If you don't do your homework, if you don't deal with the smell of cat pee, if you over paid for your house 18 months ago, if you don't price your home without emotion and based on factual data, you might as well save your money. You can post your home on PropertyGuys.com, you can add a mere posting or you can use a high fee real estate agent and it won't make a lick of difference if you have not hit all three sides of the trifecta.
