Showings in the snow...

Keep your chin up fellow agents.  IMO, the beauty of winter is when you get an interested client wanting to see properties through the snow.  It's then that you realize that this buyer is SERIOUS!

In my experience, I haven't taken out too many clients who are just "killing time" or "window shopping" in the winter months.

I used to have a 4 wheel drive truck and it sure came in very handy during heavy snows like we are experiencing now.  I actually had clients ask me to take them out looking at houses, because they were having a hard time finding an agent who'd brave the weather.

I sold my truck to get a more fuel efficient car.  It's times like this when I realize that instead of selling it, I would've kept it and just bought an additional vehicle instead. LOL.

Be safe out there!

I had clients in December plowing througn the snow for showings out in the country where long driveways to REOs were unplowed.  I hated it, but loved that January closing!  They weren't messing around!

Marty, anyone who will look at properties in the snow has to be serious. Should have held on to that truck. Looks like Janna benefited from here snow bound showings.
