Are You Listening OR Telling? - 06/27/11 11:20 AM
Here on Cape Cod we do mostly accompanied showings. Lock boxes are not very common, so we often view a property with the listing agent/broker. The experience of the listing agnet/broker makes a difference how the property is shown.
There are some who show berdooms, baths, deck, and kitchen. But those who are actuall selling real estate (what I call ASRs) are asking what the buyer is looking for before the showing, highlighting those things, and also listening while at the showing to identify other desires that could be highlighted.
