Leaving a Listing Appointment and Showing the Listing on the MLS BEFORE You Leave!

 

Sabinske & Associates’ Suzanne McLaughlin can really get things done!

My broker and I have a system where I enter the basic information about a listing before the listing appointment on the MLS.  We get information that we need from the seller(s) at the appointment.  And then I take the photos, etc.  Once the photos are uploaded and the information is entered, it goes “LIVE”.  The listing is emailed to the client BEFORE I hit the door to leave. 

We can usually get all of this done within 45 minutes.  Listing at the speed of light.....

Clients are always impressed because most agents have to submit it to their "office", and it gets done when it gets done.

This is, I am told, superior customer service, and if there are any tweaks to be made, we can do them right there with the homeowner.

How can you do this?  Possibly, with cooperation from someone in your office, you can do this, too!

Hi Suzanne - That's really efficient. Depending on the price range, in our market we could probably make the whole thing a one-stop deal, since agents are haunting MLS looking for affordable listings. I could imagine setting up an immediate showing, getting an offer on the spot, and signing a contract before I left.

I like your thinking, Dick!  And, thanks, John.  We try harder....just like Avis.  Hope it gives someone great ideas.

Suzanne- wow, that really is efficient.  Do you bring your photographer with you?  I'm with Dick, just think how mush easier it is with your sellers to have it all done and maybe even a showing and contract all within a day or so.

Hi Suzanne -- I'm sure your clients are impressed.  In our market --- the listing input is only one part of an overall marketing strategy so "timing" when it comes on the market is important.  Professional photography, a professional floor plan, disclosures uploaded, a home inspection ordered and completed, required reports ordered and uploaded, brochure, home staging, website plus any necessary things a seller will need to do to make it "show ready".  I don't do these things before a listing is signed.   

Sure -- I could hit a switch and make it go live but(in my opinion) I would be doing a dis-service to my sellers to maximize the sales price and smoothness of their potential sale.  

That's what is great about AR we can see the things that are common to our markets as well as those that underscore that all real estate is local.

I think one could do it all alone, as well, it would just take a few more minutes!  But, yes, it does surprise clients!
