The Doctor is in ... are you taking you taking your medicine?

Janet English Realtor Mobile Alabama's Eastern Shore Suburbs: Real Estate Agent in Daphne, AL

Patient goes into her doctor's office.

"Doc, not feeling so good," she says with a sniffle.

"Tell me what's going on," the doc says flipping open his chart as he rolls his stool closer.doctor

"Well, .. (sniff) my head's all stuffed up. My nose is running. I've got a hacking cough and my neck hurts."

"Let's take a look," the doc says, and proceeds to go through his examination with his tongue depressor, stethoscope, etc.

Once he finishes, he swings around to his laptop and punches the keys.

He pulls out his prescription pad and rips off a couple of sheets.

---

Realtor goes into her seller's home.

"Need to sell this house and move it quickly," seller says with authority.

"Tell me what's going on," the Realtor says, pulling her note pad.

"Well, I've gotten a new job and I know the real estate market is tough, but I'm not going to give it away."

Realtor takes a look around the house, pulls out her laptop and proceeds to come up with a price for the seller.

----

Next week, patient goes back to her doctor.

"Doc, I'm still not better."

"What's up?" the doctor asks.

"Well, I decided to go the home-remedy route: drink a lot of hot liquids, a hot toddy at night, chicken soup. Mentholated rub. Stuff like that. It's what worked for my grandmother. But I'm not better."

"Did you take your medicine ... what I prescribed?" the doctor asks.

The patient shrugs.

"Okay, let's get you fixed up," the doc says, nodding toward the framed sign on the wall: "Patients who don't take their medicine tend to get sicker."

---

Six months later, Realtor goes to the sellers' house.

"This house needs to sell," the seller says with desperation.

Realtor pulls out her laptop and the comps appear.

"I'm afraid the market has deteriorated," she says. "The house down the street didn't sell because the appraisal was $10,000 less than the contract price and the deal fell through."

The seller wipes his hands over his face.

"I should have listened to you in the beginning."

---

The point here is when you go to the doctor and ask for expert advice, you follow doctor's orders.

Why is it when you go to a Realtor and ask how to price your home, you ignore the professional?

So many sellers believe their house will be the one that beats the odds, the one that will sell for last year's price.

Why risk your financial health when you wouldn't risk your physical health?
