Fishing For Sellers, or, Not Offering Consumers What They Think They’re Being Offered
No, the agent trolling for new business isn’t offering to tell homeowners (and presumably, prospective Sellers) what their home is worth.
Depending on the property’s features, price point, and location, that can take an experienced agent a couple of hours.
No, what the agent is really peddling is simply a property report — generated, I presume, from MLS, and showing recent new listings, sales, pending sales, and expired/cancelled listings.
That takes about 20 seconds, and can be done by anyone who’s paid MLS’s subscription fee, and knows how to do a basic search.
Here’s guessing, though, that by the time at least a few people realize that, they’ll have already taken the agent’s bait.
P.S.: While I don’t offer free market analyses (also known as “CMA’s” or Comparative Market Analyses), not be to out-done, I, too, am happy to generate a free property report, customized for any Twin Cities neighborhood that you want.
Just call me at 952-285-3182, or email me at rosskaplan@edinarealty.com, and I’ll be delighted to oblige. 🙂
