Bill and Suzanne purchased their Cambridge home without the assistance of a buyer’s agent. A month after closing they reached out to me because they were curious for my opinion on the value of the home.

After some due diligence, what I found was ?????????? ???????? ?????? ?????????? $??????,?????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ????. “Not sure why we didn’t reach out to you while we were searching,” Bill said. Suzanne wiped away a tear.

Two years later, Bill and Suzanne called me to say they were ready to sell now, and they wished to hire me as the listing agent.

The passage of time in an appreciating Cambridge real estate market meant they stood a decent chance of breaking even. “????’?? ?????????? ?????????? ???? ???? ???????? ???? ?? ?????????????? ???????? ??????????,” I said. “Because it is. You are aiming to pack your purchase price into the sale”.

Sure enough, ???? ?????? ???????? ???? ?????????? ???? ?????? ?????????????? ???????? ?????? ????????????. Bill and Suzanne asked me what we ought to do. “???? ??????????????,” I said. “When you purchased the home, it had been on the market for nearly 90 days.” ???????????????? ???? ?? ?????? ????????????’?? ???????????? ???? ?????? ???????? for a seller client to practice.

Week 3. Open houses. Showings. No offers.

Week 4. Open houses. Showings. No offers.

As week 5 opened up, Bill and Suzanne were starting to get concerned. “Hang in there,” I said. “Your home has been well received.”

Sure enough, two offers came in on the property in week 5. Patience paid off.

Without a single price reduction, the property went under accepted offer – ???????????????????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ?? ?????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????? ???????? ?????? ????.
