What better day than today, St Patricks Day, to think about the luck you need to get your home sold?
- With a little luck, someone will drive by and see your sign
- With a little luck, they’ll pick up a flier and call to find out more
- With a little luck, they’ll fall in love with your home
- With a little luck, they’ll like your price and pay pretty close to it
- With a little luck, the contract will be written to protect you
- With a little luck, there won’t be any issues uncovered during inspections
- With a little luck, that buyer’s financing will come through as promised
- With a little luck, there won’t be any surprises at closing
- With a whole lot of luck, you’ve made it this far and you’ve handed over the keys to the new home owners
This list may seem silly, and it is, but the truth is that luck is what a lot of home sellers are counting on these days.
They don’t know if they’re priced correctly, if their home shows well, if they hired an agent who REALLY knows how to market beyond the basics and get buyers through the door, or if they’ll ever see an offer.
For those counting on luck, I wish them LOTS of it, but those who understand skilled pricing, marketing, followup, negotiation, contract-writing, organization and problem-solving will walk away with more equity in their pocket. Happy St Patricks Day!

I really like this. It is cute and so truthful. If only all sellers would believe this, it would distinguish the ok realtors from the excellent realtors.
Hey Faith, thanks for your comment, I'm glad you liked it. All agents are not created equal!
