Residential Home Sellers need to be on the Lookout this Spring

I have been hearing stories that some "Big Box" real estate companies are holding Sellers' listings until they can put together an "in house" deal where the "Big Box" real estate company gets to keep more of the commission. This is a HUGE disservice to the Seller and as Real Estate Professionals who are bound by a code of professional conduct and ethics this would be considered a violation. In our area Inventory is short, so there is a greater opportunity for bidding above asking price. This bidding is cut short or the pool made smaller by this "in house" dealing.  If you are looking to Sell your home. Make sure the listing go into the Multiple List System IMMEDIATELY and Choose your Listing Company Wisely.
