“Raindrops keep falling on my head….”
That song was on my mind today as I showed nine houses in the pouring rain! But I didn’t mind the downpour at all! We have been so hot and dry here in the Houston area … the rain was a blessing! Here in Friendswood, we got about four inches this afternoon!
Besides, sometimes showing homes in the rain can be the best thing for the buyer.
They get to see if the street floods in sudden downpours. There are areas all around where the drainage system just can’t handle a lot of rain that falls in a short amount of time. In that case, the drains back up and the streets collect water. When looking at a house during heavy rain, the buyer can see how much water accumulates in the street.
The buyer also gets to see if there are low spots in the yard that puddle or don’t drain properly during heavy rain. That’s always a good thing to know before buying!
Additionally, when the buyer looks at a house in the rain, he gets to see if the gutters function properly, or if there are parts that need repair. And, if a house doesn’t have gutters, he can see why having them is a good idea.
It might be a bit inconvenient to show houses in the rain, but I prefer to look on the sunny side of life…even when the sun’s not shining!
