Potential buyers are not the only ones who can view your home listing once you put up your home for sale. Strange and dishonest vendors as well as inexperienced and unqualified buyers will be informed too. Similar to any deals, buyers, sellers, and their own agents should follow certain procedures. Notify your agent immediately if your transactions with other parties go out of hand.
The aggressive agent
As stated in all your advertisements, your real estate agent should be the one contacted by interested parties and not you. However, there will be instances when a buyer's agents will get in touch with you directly so that the seller's agent will completely be out of the picture. If this happens to you, do not tolerate it. Tell this to your agent right away.
The dishonest vendor
When you alert people that you are selling your house, you may receive many junk mails in your inbox. Putting your home for sale requires many new buying decisions and apparently, unethical vendors do not understand this. Many companies have devised ways on how to gather information to create group mailing lists even if a number of Multiple Listing Service associations have created and implemented rules on how to use posted information properly.
Inform your real estate agent if you always receive junk mails so he or she can initiate an investigation.
The inexperienced buyer
Some potential buyers may feel very excited after seeing your promotional materials that they will merely pop around and visit your home without informing you or your agent. Do not conduct a spontaneous house tour if this will happen to you. Give them your agent's contact number and tell them in a nice way that it would be best for them to contact your agent first since he or she is the one arranging house visits. Handling this kind of situation alone is not advisable since you may accidentally give out confidential information that can be disadvantageous to your position during the bargaining phase.
