All parties must be present and accounted for! DISAGREE, DISAGREE, SEND THEM TO ME!!!
"Lenn, when can we show the home to my boyfriend???"
Although there have been cases where a buyer decides not to buy a specific house based on the negative reception of a boyfriend, parent, grandparent, friend, etc. the experience, in my experience, is generally positive.
Then there was that time when a buyer and I found a wonderful remodeled home in Kensington MD. We had looked all PG and Mont. counties. THIS WAS A FABULOUS home and when she walked it she said to me,
"Lenn, I WANT this house."
I said, "Then you shall have it."
That weekend me met to show it to her boyfriend who had been trying to get her to look in Virginia, where they lived together.
He criticized everything about the house.
"LENN, WHAT HAPPENED?"
HA! She purchased the house and dumped the boyfriend.
All's well that ends well.

In order to better serve potential buyers, it is necessary to qualify couples together to avoid wasting valuable time and effort. If the other half is absent, they may be less excited to proceed forward!
I refuse to meet with just one person to:
~ show homes
~ make an offer
~ discuss wants and needs
That only creates an unnecessary work load and undoubtedly the other half will not be on board due to lack of involvement...been there and done that in the past!
I met a woman as a walk-in. I gladly sat with her as she talked about her idea of a second home here in southern Utah. One that would suit her needs as she would be a part-time resident. She assured me her husband was in agreement with her every step of the way.
That is, until he showed up and saw the house she had in mind...needless to say it was a definite No Go after two days of searching out properties in the area!
Lesson learned. No Go Now unless both parties are present and accounted for!
