Are you managing your home sale?

by Dan on October 30th, 2007

Selling a home requires more managerial skills than you might imagine. Think of your home as your company, your business as selling that home and all the little people – two-legged and four-legged – running around it as your employees.

 

As the owner, it’s your job to make sure that your employees help you achieve your goal of moving your home as quickly and for as high a price as possible.

 

It’s not easy, though, getting those employees to cooperate: Your 3-year-old daughter may decide to foster her burgeoning artistic ability by scrawling crayon stick figures on her bedroom wall just as you’re trying to rush her out the door ahead of that nice family from downstate that’s touring your home in 10 minutes. Your beloved pooch may have scheduled an unfortunate … accident … five minutes before your next showing. Your spouse may make an executive decision to leave five dirty dishes stacked in the sink even as your Realtor arrives for your open house.

 

How does a top-level manager – you – get all these employees in line? Beats me. But my fellow b5 bloggers Phil Gerbyshak and David Zinger certainly have their suggestions. They write Slacker Manager, a busy business blog. The pair updates frequently, and provides loads of advice for folks managing anything, even a house sale.

So my advice? Check out their blog to find out exactly how you can better manage that home sale of yours.
