Jane bought some new spring flowers and we decided to work in the yard yesterday afternoon.  In order to plant our new flowers, we needed to trim back some branches. 

I have three chainsaws and several pair of clippers at the farm, but realized that I did not have the proper equipment at the house.  We finally found one small handsaw; I then spent several hours trimming the branches.  I kept thinking how much I wished I had my clippers or chainsaw – the proper equipment. 

The same is true in real estate.  When a buyer or sellers wants to buy or sell real estate, they need a Realtor with the proper equipment which can include knowledge and contacts.

A year ago I had a house listed in Sea Pines Plantation.  We ended up selling the house very soon after listing it because I had a contact that I knew would love the house.  The seller had listed their home with someone else first and it did not sell because they did not specialize in that market.  

It pays to have the right equipment and it pays to have the right real estate agent.
