ahhh, if only it really was all about sitting around and waiting when they were on the market for a lengthy period of time.
One of my recent listings is now off the market and I have no plans to re list.
The thousands of dollars I invested trying to sell this place + the 10+ open houses which average around 4 hours each + driving time for open houses or to show people the property etc ...this is never the story you will hear. Using your $75/hr rate seol, I lost WELL over 5k on this property. The next place I sell coupled with the costs/time involved in that client will help me break even.
Say this next place only involves 3 open houses, 1k of expenses + a handful of the typical phone/driving/meeting/paperwork/negotiations hours. I just put in 80 hours for free.
Im not saying I never give a break to someone in certain situations...a handful of cp members can vouch for that. What I am saying is that your perception of what goes on when you are not around is slightly off.
