Are you an "Armchair Realtor?"
Spring is here, and what better time to present a new idea. This concept is still in the embryo, but I wanted to get some feedback on it:
DailyStats.ca was a cutting-edge idea when it started. Can you imagine going without it now? Something that didn't exist two years ago is now a part of so many Calgarian's daily lives. Now I want to try something even more revolutionary. I'd like to get all my bloggers involved in the evaluation process of a new listing, then follow the entire process through to its conclusion. I am confident the response from you would be good. What I require is a seller who is willing to go through this exercise and make the process public.
What are the benefits to the seller? An incredible amount of exposure and publicity for your property. I think it would be an excellent feedback forum for the seller, and perhaps it would reveal some factors which they may not have considered, both positive and negative.
If you have a house which you are just about ready to put on the market, give this some consideration. In the mean time, I'd like all of you to give me your ideas. What are your thoughts? If I give you the details of a prospective listing, including comparable sales, will you tell me what you think it's worth? The pros and cons of the property? Poke holes in my evaluation?
My wish list would be for a home in the inner city, or not too far out. Perhaps it could evolve into a monthly feature on here. It's one thing to think you know the market, but another when you see the final sales price.
