I always ask clients if they've put the word out to friends, family etc... especially when dealing with a home that has been in the family for decades. There is often someone the family knows who wants it.
What I usually suggest to clients is that we write those names (3 tops) in as exclusions to the listing agreement for 2weeks, and they should call them a couple days before it goes to MLS. That will help them make up their mind, fast... otherwise sometimes they will doddle for weeks. If those folks DO buy it, I have a set small fee to cover my expenses, and hopefully a buyers contract to help them buy a new home. Everyone wins
