What would I be thinking if I were trying to sell?

This thought goes through my head often. Many sellers call our office with questions about our fees. The subject quickly changes to market conditions. We gladly take the time to talk.
I think they just need to know more to help them make decisions about selling and they are looking for ears that will take time. If I were in their shoes, I would be asking a lot of questions also.
Are buyers looking again? ... Are banks lending?...Does it pay to advertise in the newspaper?... Are any of the stimulus programs going to help?....Are we seeing an improvement in our business?
Because we close real estate transactions, we do have a pulse on the market.
I'm thinking that, if I were selling, I would learn everything I could about the process and make decisions based on the facts and try to remove as much emotion as possible and that would not be easy!
