Working with Buyers (4)
What does the buyers home search process look like?
* Median number of weeks searched: 10
* Median number of homes seen: 10
How much time are you spending with your buyers? If you're spending more than 10 weeks with a buyer are they a real buyer or someone wasting your valuable time?
The length of the typical home search rose from eight weeks in 2007 to ten weeks in 2008. During the search for a home, buyers viewed a median of ten homes before making a purchase.
Among buyers who used a real estate sales representative / broker when searching for and purchasing a home, the median length of the total search was ten weeks. before contacting the sales representative / broker, these buyers typically searched for two weeks. The median length of the home search for first-time buyers is 12 weeks. First-time buyers also searched for a somewhat longer period before contacting an sales representative / broker.
* What kind of qualification process are you using before you work with a buyer?
* Did you make an appointment with a qualified Mortgage Broker?
* Do you feel like you are a professional tour guide or taxi driver?
* Do you have a buyer that you've shown over 30 homes and they haven't made a buying decision?
* Do you really know what their wants and needs are?
The goal is in better qualifying your buyers and provide showing/selling strategies so that your time is more productive.
