Feature Article

Selling Agents versus Buying Agents

Have you noticed that when you speak to Real Estate Agents, some will tell you all types of useful information about a property and the vendor, whereas others clam up like Fort Knox?

When you are buying a property, it is great to have the agent tell you all about it.  But that is not the agent you want to employ to sell your property, because what do you think they’ll be telling all the potential buyers that inspect your property?  Everything! 

When you want to sell your property, you want the friendly but silent type, not the chatterbox. 

It is important to recognise there are good agents to sell your property and good agents to buy from. 

Never confuse the two and always look for the good selling agents when you are selling your property and the chatty agents to buy from when looking for a property bargain.

Five Minutes with...

 Barbara  Gabogrecan of MCEI  (Marketing Communications Executives Chapter)                        
Barb%20Garbogrecan.jpgQuestion 1
What has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?
Building a data base of targeted interest groups and building a website and knowing that people use it and find it useful. Both of these seemed to have an interconnection and I approached them in a similar way. I worked on the building/construction at least every week (never thinking I had ‘finished’ – always adding new information and updating old information) and creating alliances and joint ventures – and sometimes simply joining other associations and attending networking events and being proactive at them.

Question 2
If you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do differently?
I have just commenced a new business from scratch – and I am not sure that I will do anything differently – just do it quicker as now I am more confident with what I should do. My 2 month old website has just been ranked by Google with a 2 (it is so exciting to see that it is already being ranked); I have organised to do some specific training; I have arranged for some joint ventures; I have a specific targeted niche market. As my husband is now also working from home with me, I have added a brainstorming session each morning (which was a bit hard to do with just myself) and I expect that to bring things to a head sooner.

Question 3
Who do you admire and why?
I actually admire all the Micro and HBB business operators who are prepared to take a risk and bring their vision to fruition with passion and persistence. I am fortunate to know so many of them through the Associations I work with and the Awards I organise – it is all so exciting!

Question 4
It takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.  What keeps you motivated?
I am so lucky – this is one area that I seldom struggle with. I think it is because as a youngster I did Correspondence lessons for all of my primary schooling (and for Art in secondary school) and learnt very early to set my own goals and if I really wanted something to work hard for it and negotiate and bargain if necessary. These skills have kept me in good stead over the years. Occasionally I feel swamped with too much work (and that can kill motivation) so I try to take a few moments and think about what it is I want to achieve – and I usually get so excited that I just have to get moving again!

Question 5
What are your 3 biggest success tips?

    1.    Be opportunistic  and take action – if opportunity does not present itself, then                     make it happen! But it is no good having an opportunity available if you do not                   take action that will lead it into something
    2.    Dare to be Different – make your brand include your personal image. I wear hats             and have become known for them.
    3.    Help others – I have a philosophy of ‘what can I do for you?’ rather than ‘what’s in               it for me’ (WIFM). Over and over again, I have found that WIFM is the outcome of             my philosophy.
