But I Don't Want To See That House

By
Real Estate Agent with Lisa Von Domek Team TX License #0552989

"But I don't want to see that house"...Has that statement ever been made to you?  I recently sold the perfect home to some wonderful clients - and it was exactly the house they didn't know they wanted.  

Discussing the checklist of "must haves" and "would like to haves" this one didn't make the cut.  Why? It was larger than they wanted, the style wasn't their taste, and they didn't care for the interior from the online photos.  So why did I preview this house and present it to them to see?  Because from the houses we had toured I knew they would love this neighborhood, I knew the photos were not doing justice to the true style of this custom beauty, and I knew that there were some wish list items that were important to them that this house had.  So I advised them that they needed to see this house and their comment was "Okay Lisa, we don't think it's "it" but if you say we need to see it, then let's go see it".

 

So, what happened?   SOLD, SOLD, SOLD!!!

Sold

 

Learning what a client wants and needs requires a professional Realtor that takes the time to listen, knows the market, and is able to negotiate the deal to "get it done".

When you are ready to buy, sell or build - call me to discuss what you need - and I will get it done.  But be warned, I may advise you to do something you didn't think you wanted to do in order to provide you with the outcome that is perfect for you.

Hello Carla,

Photos and on-line information start the story, but seeing a home in person still can't be missed.

Turning Houses into Homes

I have been there.  Sometimes they reject a home, but after shopping they are willing to go back to it.

Good for you!  Oftentimes, we see things and have to step up to the plate. And if they didn't like the home, it wouldn't waste too much time and also show you're interested in going the extra mile to make sure they saw everything!  Great post and congrats on your sale!

"I listen for a living." It's all about you.

Good for you Lisa, truly listening to the client while knowing the inventory is what makes you one of the best.  Pushing back on thier objections when you knew it was right for them is the act of a true professional
