Lately I’ve received a number of inquires from people who’s homes have been on the market for awhile with other real estate agents. Typically, they are requesting a home evaluation from our website http://www.northvirginiahomes.com/.
My assumption is that their home hasn’t sold in awhile and they are seeking a “second opinion” of sorts. This is always a difficult position for us because while we would like to be helpful in this situation and would like their business, we are prohibited by our ethical standards of practice from soliciting them while their home is listed with another Realtor.
While performing a home evaluation in and of itself may not be considered a solicitation, we’ve opted not to provide the evaluation because all of our marketing material associated with providing this service (emails, letters etc.) clearly has solicitations for business in it.
So, if you or someone you know are in this unfortunate situation, we’d like to be of service to you but we really can’t do anything until your listing with your present Realtor has expired or you have asked your current Realtor to withdraw the listing because you are dissatisfied with their service/results.
Once you’re no longer listed with another Realtor, please give us a call or email. We’d love to help you!
