Put all your eggs in 1 basket
Put all your eggs in one basket
This well-known idiom is often used with the word “don’t” in front of it. You’ll often hear the phrase “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” referring to not putting all your risk, attention, hope, effort into one thing.
By adopting that idiom we think we are spreading the risk, the hope, and the effort we thus increasing our opportunity for success. One of them has to pay off!
Is it a positive thing?
On the other side of the coin, if we do put our focus on one thing – sure it could end in failure – a concentrated effort, a true focus, a firm commitment and full trust in just one thing, it can be just as likely to succeed because that’s where all of the energy is going.
The Cambridge Dictionary idiom definition is “to depend for your success on a single person or plan of action” and when it comes to real estate that’s a very good thing.
How is it relevant to property?
When it comes time to selling property the best results can be gained from putting all your [real estate] eggs in one basket.
A concentrated effort is what gets properties SOLD. Your commitment to one real estate agency will pay dividends and that commitment is reciprocal.
An Exclusive Agency Appointment authorises the Agent to exclusively act on your behalf to sell the property. For a fixed term, a maximum of 90 days at a time, all the energy from the agent and the agency’s resources are directed at getting a great result. All the potential buyers are directed to one source for information.
