Buyer agency. Seller agency. Winning. Losing. Getting a deal. Can both sides walk away feeling good about the sale? In this world of “Survivor” or “The Biggest Loser” it seems that someone has to lose for someone to win. What happened to the notion that BOTH parties can win? You have lived a life of memories in your home, hopefully mostly good memories. Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to know that the people moving into your house are people you like? That maybe someday your kids or grandkids could go back and see that house where those pictures were taken? Wouldn’t you as a buyer like to get little tips on things that made living in your new house special? How things work? What if some day you can’t figure something out – wouldn’t it be nice if you could simply call the former owners on a friendly basis? We had a wonderful real estate story this Spring about just such a friendship that got established between a buyer and a seller. After meeting each other by accident, names became faces with stories to tell. How buyers and sellers in Chapel Hill NC show everyone that this is truly the "southern part of heaven".  Check in to my blog in a few days and I will tell you all about it!
