My father (who was an attorney) said the same thing - knowing the paperwork isn't the same as knowing the market or knowing marketing. It helps to have good professional allies in related fields to whom we can send our clients when a need arises outside of our own area of expertise. Thanks Jeffrey!

Similarly, I often get asked if I would handle a FSBO, and I usually advise the caller that it will end up costing more money and not be as productive than if they hired a Broker. The convincing point is made when I explain they would have to pay a retainer fee up front, instead of waiting until close of escrow. More importantly, I explain that a qualified Broker knows the market, the value, and the process much better than anyone. Mary: Excellent points, and very well explained!
