The Hottest Buyer Tour!

By
Real Estate Agent with Agent-Connection.com

What can make a buyer change their mind? Let's see... these folks were coming from the 'Bay 
Area' where the average summer temperature is 70 degrees into 'The Valley' (Stockton, California) 
where this particular day was enjoying a high of 107 degrees. Was I worried they may be scared 
off by the heat? Yup!

We had seven houses on our list of homes to visit that day. My buyer's arrived two hours late - 
right in the heat of the afternoon. Let me share an interesting fact with you - no matter how good 
your car's air conditioner is, it is bascally useless when you're getting in and out of your car in 107 
degree heat!

I knew immediately that the very first house we went to was PERFECT for these buyers. However, 
they were smart shoppers and wanted to see the rest of the houses on tour. I was really glad they 
did. None of them even came close to being as nice as the first one and they were all around the 
same price. We ended the day by going back to the first one, and my buyer's officially 'fell in love 
with it'. We wrote an offer, it was accepted and they are now very happy homeowners. 

My housewarming gift to them? A Home Depot card they can use to buy furniture for their new 
poolside patio!

I work in Phoenix, we experience much the same heat. I would have bought them a commercial ice maker! I assume when you show on days like that you keep an ice chest with water in it, don't you?
