What can potentially result from a lack of cooperation from the listing agent?

A lack of cooperation from the listing agent can lead to a decrease in a property's salability for several reasons. When the listing agent is not willing to coordinate with other agents or potential buyers, it limits the property's exposure to the market. This lack of exposure means fewer potential buyers are aware of or have access to the property, which can diminish interest and result in less competition among buyers.

Furthermore, when cooperation is lacking, it can create an impression that the property is less desirable or more challenging to purchase, discouraging retail buyers or agents from pursuing it. This may lead to fewer showings and ultimately, the property may take longer to sell or sell for a lower price than it might have in a more collaborative environment. Thus, the cooperation of the listing agent is critical for maximizing interest and facilitating a smoother transaction process.
