Sellers Give Buyers a Chance to Get that Feeling No Place Like Home
Beth Atalay wrote a post about homeowners being present when their house is being shown yesterday I had just had that situation where the seller was home. The buyer was first-time buyers that knew what they wanted in fact they were in construction and were going to redo the house to fit their wants and needs in their own time. here is what happened
The seller followed us around and showed us all the things that they thought were important that were not important to the buyer . It was a shame as it was a turn off to the buyer .It almost made you feel as if you were not trusted
Whatever the seller was trying to accomplish they did not .. I did try to tell the seller several times we were fine and they could relax. We would show ourselves around.I did try not to be rude but it did not work.
The seller made the buyer so very uncomfortable following us from room to room Telling us how much they paid for every little thing even trying to show them did not work. I did tell them several times I was very familiar with the area and the original layout. In fact, I once had a resident of the community The buyer even told them he was going to replace everything but they were so busy talking they did not even listen Don't get me wrong the sellers were very nice sweet people Just over-anxious. The first thing we learn is to listen
The seller thinking they were talking themselves into a buyer liking their house talked the buyer into disliking their house .
A buyer wants to be able to feel a house is going to be their home not your home
When I sit down with my clients on the initial interview I explain to them you will get a feeling when they walk into the right house. It is a feeling you get that this is home.
Please Mr & or Ms seller the buyers need to feel if this house is the right house for them
How many times do I have to look at houses before I get that feeling?
