Red apples falling?

An average apple tree holds approximately 300 apples and may incur up to 10% of losses, be they fallen or damaged. Comparatively, there may be approximately 10% of sellers who want to sell privately.

Using our example, there may be 30 apples lost but more importantly, there are 270 apples in the tree ready for harvest. Unfortunately, many brokers have their eyes focused on the ground and are obsessed with all the “lost” apples rather than focusing on the tremendous potential available in the tree. Some are even so engrossed in their thoughts that they desperately try to salvage what they can hope to end up with applesauce.

Wouldn’t you rather be picking fresh apples every week? Wouldn’t you rather prefer to fulfill your needs?

Here are some statistics of recent transactions concluded privately as well as through the representation of a Real estate broker. The data was obtained through Centris sales as well as on the DuProprio web site and cover the period between January 1st and June 30th:

Secteur	Centris	DuProprio	% ventes Centris
Île de Laval	3047	51	98,35%
Île de Montréal	15986	197	98,78%
Mascouche	513	31	95,87%
St-Jérôme	771	31	96,13%
St-Sauveur	202	11	94,84%
Longueuil	1960	67	96,69%
Magog	264	21	92,63%

On top of that, a fair percentage of private sales were done in collaboration with brokers resulting in an even higher overall percentage of brokers assisted sales.
