showings: Yes, your dog is lovable, but I’m already married!
- 11/26/10 03:00 AM
I love dogs, let’s get that out of the way right away. I’ve owned many over my life and I know one day I will own another one. Probably an English Bull dog or a Basset Hound, I just think they have so much personality in their faces.
But, when you are selling a home with a dog, there are some rules that you really need to follow. First warn me you have a dog. The second is have it caged because you just never know. Even the most friendly dog, if provoked, can and will bite. (Some of … (41 comments)
showings: I should have brought a clean pair of underwear with me!
- 02/10/09 02:33 PM
The day started out like any other. I get a call from a client that wants to see a property. I checked to make sure their pre-approval was still good since I hadn't heard from them in a couple weeks. I checked the MLS to see if the home is vacant or if I need to set up an appointment. GREAT... Both homes are vacant, this will be an easy one...WOW, it is an REO, I just know that Photoshop was used in the MLS, but hey, I got to try. I ran a few errands prior to the scheduled time to … (27 comments)
showings: Protecting your clients home and valuables
- 02/05/09 05:03 PM
When my clients list with me, they get top notch service as well as a long list of things that they need to do to your home to protect their personal information and their valuables. But, if someone is really determined to steal something, they are going to do it. But, I'm thinking of adding to my list of added value service. I'm thinking about giving my clients spy cameras that were invented to help catch cheating spouses or bad baby sitters. But, these can be used also to protect your home during showings as well. I'm thinking about buying 5 of these … (16 comments)
showings: I wasn’t quick enough for my clients, but I’m starting to think that was a good thing
- 02/02/09 04:46 AM
Yesterday I got an e-mail from one of my clients wanting to see a home. Unfortunately, I had to be part of my own personal cops show outside my parents' house. Then I had a scheduled open house on the other side of town. There was just no way I was going to be able to fit this client in today. That is when I get the call from them telling me that they had sent me an e-mail telling me they wanted to know more about this house and if I could show it to them today. (To be honest, I … (15 comments)
showings: We want to see your home, but, no we can’t come back later
- 11/23/08 01:29 AM
This is an open letter to all listing agents and sellers: This is the letter I think I'm going to send to every agent of a seller that tells me that they want me to come back later. It is very important that sellers understand that when you have a hot buyer, delaying them in anyway will lose the sale. This is why so many automobile salesmen don't want you to leave their lot. They know once you leave you only have about a 2% of ever walking through those doors again, this also applies to looking at a home. Once they … (12 comments)
showings: Are we city tour buses now? The feedback I’m getting lately is just weird!
- 10/25/08 06:57 PM
Over the past two months I've received some strange feedback on one of my listings. I've also seen similar things on other listings of mine, but this one has gotten the most. I just don't understand why agents would want to be a taxi service to a buyer. Read the feedback from below and tell me if you think these agents are being taxi drivers or agents? With gas prices what they are today, I certainly wouldn't be doing extra stops or driving 60 miles roundtrip out of my way to show a listing that I know they will never buy. Do … (6 comments)
