Well, How many properties should you show in one day? I spoke with a Real Estate Agent yesterday who had showed one of my listings. I called to follow up on the showing so that I could give my sellers some feed back. This agent said "Now which one was yours, I showed 18 properties". 18 properties???!!! How could you possibly sell anything if you show 18 properties in the same day. The agent didn't even remember exactly what my listing even looked like so......how could the prospect possibly know or remember what they saw?
Please feel free to give me all your feed back. I want to know if other agents do this sort of thing? Now it just so happens that I am showing today and the prospect has near that many that she wants to look at also. However, I have given her more information on the properties and she has narrowed them down. Then we went a little further to age and location and I was able to narrow them down even further. We are now down to 5 properties that actually interest her. She wants to make an offer and has picked the best buys, properties, and locations to see.
Wouldn't it be easier on selling agents, listing agents, buyers, and sellers to cut out some of the properties that just don't qualify first and save a lot of time not to mention greatly improving your chances of writting an offer? Now I do know there are clients who you just can't tell any different and they may be buyers too. My suggestion is to show these properties over several days and everyday rule out the ones that just won't work.
This web site has some articles about how pictures can help narrow your prospect down to more specific properties before they start to look. www.technologyevangelist.com
