The listing interview went very well. Notice I said "listing interview" rather than "listing presentation"? The sellers did a fantastic job with their own questions, so it was most definitely us interviewing each other. For example, I was asked:
- What are the average number of days on the market for your listings?
- How much above or below the asking price do your listings sell for?
- How many listings do you have each year?
- Tell us about yourself. (Eek! The ol’ interview question from right out of college.)
- What are your plans to get buyers to pay attention to this home after it’s been on the market for 14 or 30 days?
They asked solid questions and I believe I answered most of them well. Until the whole "tell us about yourself" question came up. I told them I have a husband, two daughters, two dogs, two cats, and one fish that we learned this weekend was gay. I then said, "No wait! It’s Dumbledore who’s gay, not Lord Voldemort! Our fish is Lord Voldemort!" Gah.
I did tell them that no matter who they go with of the agents they’re talking to, that they’re decision will be a good one because I have a lot of respect for the other two agents who are being interviewed.
So now I wait.

kathy, you did a GREAT job during your 'nerves of steel' interview today. we're checking out your blog & laughing all the while– you have a FANTASTIC sense of humor! as an aside, we can't take credit for those questions… stole them right off dave ramsey's website of '10 questions you should ask every realtor'.
he needs the credit, not us. you were PHENOMENAL and the 'tell us about yourself' question was just to find out what your life consists of outside work– we totally admire your commitment to your family, community, and children & families in need. you're a GREAT interview! we'll be in touch!
