Many buyers get their line up on available homes from poking around on the net or from a direct feed sent by their agent into their email box.
This process starts out looking intriguing for the buyer, and it is, just like a line up from America’s Most Wanted.
Eventually, the virtual feeds get too virtual.
The adrenaline rush ceases to flow.
This is the time for buyers and their agent to get physically involved in the home buying process. The Internet is great as a tool, but it will never replace the human agent.
The buyer and the agent have to make a physical connection with the property to test out its worthiness.
The old saying: nose to nose and toes to toes still rings true today. Clients act on reality. Door knobs that are turned tend to satisfy and reveal.
With all the virtual information that is out there, somehow the intimate act of the home shopping process is getting lost. It is a very personal choice, and needs hands on examination.
Many Charlotte first time buyers perceive the home buying process like buying a widget on eBay. They just don’t know. They don’t know the process and they don’t know the protocol.
Fortunately, we do.
Some sit uninspired because of the sameness of the delivery. Many beautiful homes fade into the relentless flow. Too bad they missed out on that deal camouflaged in the sea of 4br 2ba repetitiveness.
As Realtors®, we tend to give away our wares and professional advice like a federal cheese give-away program.
Make your efforts productive for you and your buyers.
Remember to CALL the people getting your listing feeds. And remind them to call you. Get them engaged in the process. Off the couch and turning doorknobs works virtually every time.
