This past
weekend Disney put out a movie that I actually
wanted to see. Well, originally I wanted to see, but have
now since decided
that I don’t. Tron Legacy came out and I really wanted to see it with
my son,
but Disney in their infinite wisdom never put Tron out on DVD for sale
or for
rent.
This made it so I couldn’t go back 25 years to my youth and see the movie again to fill in the gaps in my memory from the film and also show my kids the movie, so they could actually understand what the new one is about. By doing this, Disney has made me not want to see the movie and unless they put the first one out on DVD, they aren’t going to get me to rent or buy it when it comes out either.
So, how does this relate to real estate? Twice in the last two weeks I have come across listings where it says in the showing instructions: “Write offers subject to interior inspection” What? You want my clients to write an offer on a home they haven’t seen? You do realize that half of the home buying process is emotion, right?
All three of my clients that emailed me about that house when I sent them the showing instructions said “Nevermind”. They have done the same thing to that listing as I have done with Disney’s Tron. Are you losing your clients thousands, if not everything, by making it impossible to see what we are paying money for? My kids wouldn’t understand Tron Legacy and my clients don’t understand putting money down on something they may not buy.
