So You Wanna Sell Your Home?

Hello, I have a buyer that is interested in seeing your house this weekend! I'm calling you to make the showing arrangements and you the seller says..."Oh we can not show it this weekend, we have visitors, it's just not convenient today, can you come back another day? ETC...the list goes on!!!

HELLOOOOOOOO OUT THERE?

You have made the decision, you want or have to move. Your house is on the market to sell! Well then make it convenient to sell! It takes only one buyer to get your house SOLD!

Remember when you put your home on the market  it is no longer a home, it is a house that a prospective buyer hopes to make their home. Yes, it may be inconvenient at times, but isn't that worth it when your house is sold?

So, when putting your house on the market make it easy for realtors with buyers to show the house. After all they may have that one buyer who may just want to BUY your house!

I can't begin to tell you the frustration as a Realtor, when I set up appointments for buyers who want to see certain homes and there are all sorts of restrictions.  Realtors don't always have time to drive 10 miles to your realtors office to pick up a key or hunt down the listing agent  for a combo code(who by the way won't answer their phone...but that's another story!). Put a secure electronic lockbox on the property. KeyBoxes provide peace-of-mind and faster sales. My answer to the buyers is that the seller must not be serious about selling their house and that there are plenty of other houses on the market to select from.

At the end of the day you want your house sold, right?  My point is make it as easy and convenient as possible to have your house shown so it can sell!

And if you or someone you know is considering a move, I can help. It's what I do!
