Mr. & Mrs. Seller - Do You Really Want To Sell Your CT Pre Foreclosure Home?

 

We're all experiencing much more frustrations in setting appointments to show homes that are a CT pre foreclosure and today was no exception for me.

 

Short Sale CTI'm working with a buyer with specific needs for her next home purchase With her mom getting on in years my client is looking for either a single family home with a possible in-law or a two-family home.  We looked at one home yesterday with a full-in law apartment which she is considering.

 

This morning my client emailed me about a two family home listed as a CT pre foreclosure she wanted to take a look at today after 3 pm.   I emailed her back that I would call the listing office to set up the showing and would get back to her once I had confirmation.

 

The showing instructions stated that I needed to call the office to set up the showing When I called, I spoke to the floor duty agent on call and asked if I could show the property today at 3 pm.  When he went to check on the showing instructions, he was a bit taken back as was I when he told me that showings were to be scheduled only Monday-Friday after 5pm and no weekends.  Excuse me!!  Does this seller really want to sell this property?

 

Mr. & Mrs. Seller.....if you're upside down on your home and have to do a short sale, why on earth are you making it so difficult for a very qualified and ready to buy buyer to see your home?

Donna, No weekend showings?  Is that a joke?   I would have to question the realtor who took this listing on exactly how they plan to sell this home........

Carole - I wish it was a joke but it's not.  The duty agent and I were both floored at the showing instructions and had the same thought you did.

My clients wanted to see a SS but the owners were going on a Disneyland / California vacation for 2 weeks and did not want it to be shown while they were gone! It's amazing how complacent some owners get when facing tough situations.

Wanda - Isn't that the truth?  You have to wonder why sometimes.

Donna - difficult showing schedules are pretty hard to understand, especially in the case of distress sales, and they are one of my biggest gripes. Guess some folks really don't care what happens. After 5? That's kinda unusual. And no weekends? Hmmm. I sense no motivation, and teh agent took the listing anyhow.

Donna, the Sellers clearly show they are not motivated - and they are going to have a rude awakening if they don't get with the program to sell their house before the bank does.

Thanks for sharing. I wonder what their schedule was and whether they wanted to be there when the home was shown. Pretty unusual. Margaret C.

Some sellers don't want to be bothered when it comes time to selling......even if it's a short sale.  These type of sellers I run from.
