Who said showing homes is not fun? I took my buyers to see a home they wanted to buy. We walk in and there is a 12 foot inflatable beach ball in the Family room. The good thing is there was cathedral ceilings. The bad thing was we could barely get around it to get to the kitchen.
No matter how many times I tell my buyers to not dwell on what is in the home, but look at the home itself. They could not get over this giant Beach Ball. They had to touch it, their kid wanted to lay on it.
The home was a For Sale By Owner. The owner was actually home to let us in. Therefore I was unable to get any pictures to share. My buyers did not seem to like the home, they were too distracted to appreciate the home.
The moral of the story to home sellers, is that a home has to be presentable when showing it to buyers. This is not presentable. I have to admit i would love to be outside and be able to give it a good kick to see how high it goes. This is home selling 101. Not the beach. With no listing agent to inform the sellers of how to preprare the home for showings, it did not show well. It also may be why it has been for sale for so long. The seller told us everything and anything, enough to scare the buyer the rest of the way out of the home. I did think I would love to list the home and sell it the right way. I left my card with the seller.
Perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT message is to share with every consumer that my philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other.
And yes... come summer I am thinking i need one of those ball for my pool.
