On What?!?

So, what do Realtors mean when they say — with not a little frustration — “let’s get it on?”

Here’s a hint:  the more accurate line is, “let’s get it on already!,” and the person the (listing) agent is talking to is their client and would-be home seller.

If that’s not obvious enough, here’s what’s happening:  the agent is anxious to get their client’s home on the market while the competition is minimal or nonexistent.

The agent knows that, calendar notwithstanding, the Spring market in the Twin Cities kicks off right around now, with lots of new inventory ready to debut (at least in a typical year).

Meanwhile, their client may be obsessing over little details that most Buyers won’t care about.

Advice to such clients:  trust your agent’s instincts . . .
