I have a belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to own their own home, so in a way, my answer is yes.

However, not all homes are to my taste.  I do believe there is a buyer for every property, no matter it's appearance, size or price tag.

And, I believe in my ability to get the job done.

We have to believe that it is priced right for the market, otherwise the anticipated profit generation is a fizzle.

It helps.

Yes, it makes it tough to sell something you do not believe is a wise buy.

I see the positives in every property and understand there's a chair for every butt.  It's the perfect house for someone.

Susan Emo sums up my feelings -- very good answer with one exception:  not all people should be homeowners.  There are many valid reasons why it may be best for someone to be a tenant.

"believe in" ??????

It is real, so I believe.

However, my job is not to believe but to make others vision themselves in a house in which they can flourish.

I need not believe, but my job is to assess the buyer and make their value parameters properly align with the house attributes, where ever possible.

I can be a non-believer, but I can not let that interfere with the dream of another. There is a buyer for every house.

Yes, I've put lips on pigs, and did my job. Some pigs are a challenge.

There are some listings that I like more than others. I absolutely have to feel I can sell it in order to be a good Realtor for the seller.

It helps but is not mandatory.  There is a buyer for every home (or other listing)... if it is priced right.  It's about the buyer pool, not you.   Just put it out there.

Paul S. Henderson, Realtor, Tacoma Washington I believe you do. For example, how can you sell a property you know is overpriced and won't sell. If you don't truly believe it will sell, all you will have is a listing.

I am always excited when buyers show up and like my listing whatever it is. It doesn't have to be my taste, just what the buyer is looking for. The only time I would not "believe" in my listing, is if there are hidden problems and those I don't take unless I can disclose them.

It sure helps to sell it if you like it. Always find the best in any home and focus on that

It does help

No sure what it means to believe in a listing, but I don't have to like it to sell it. I do need to believe it is salable, not grossly over-priced or saddled with too many problems to overcome.

I think it helps.

Paul,

Yes!  

No, but it helps a lot and makes working on it a lot more enjoyable.
