So the experience continues. Of All the ways that showings can be scheduled, emails are one that we have seldom used and I now understand why!
The board of Realtors frequently posts new listings as a courtesy so apparently ours was posted yesterday. We received a request to show it to a John Q Public person at about 9am.
Ralph answered with a when would you like to see it? The response was this afternoon but not too late. He answered with how would 1pm work? No response until about 12:20pm. At that time they said it would have to be another day since it was so close to 1:00. No clue what other day would work and no suggestion as to if another time might be better.
Somehow it bothered me that there would not be another agent representing this buyer. We had all the appropriate buyer information available but it still felt awkward to anticipate representing the transaction when we are the sellers.
This is just one more example of how valuable the services of Realtors are. Did you ever wonder about that? Having had the experience of representing both sides of the transaction many years ago when we were not principles to the deal... I am only too aware of the possible pitfalls.
Should the situation arise again, we will be looking for an agent to refer the buyer too. This process from the other side of the norm has certainly been educational. And the journey continues!
