THE ABOVE PHRASE APPLIES TO SO MANY OF LIFE'S CIRCUMSTANCES: a date, meeting the inlaws, a job interview, or, for realtors, meeting a buyer or seller for the first time. It is critical that an agent prepare themselves for a first meeting with a buyer or seller.
For a seller, they must accurately convey the state of the market, the correct selling price, set expectations, debunk myths, and come to the appointment professionally dressed and in a well maintained and clean car.
For a buyer they must listen intently to what that buyer wants in a home, scour the market for homes that meet or exceed their expectations, make the appropriate appointments to show those homes, know the market in which they are showing, and come to the appointment professionally dressed and in a well maintained and clean car.
IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT FOR SELLERS TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION. FOR MOST SELLERS, PREPARING THEIR HOME FOR SALE SHOULD START WEEKS IF NOT MONTHS IN ADVANCE.
I am a homeowner so I know what it's like to overlook the leaky faucet in the bathroom, the loose doorknob (or 2) and the doorbell that no longer works. But these repairs MUST be done if you are to make a good impression on the buyer. Competition today is fierce and buyers often look at 10 or more homes in one outing, so you only have one chance to WOW them from the front door to the back door!
