The Simplest Things Can Have the Biggest Impact
The late morning and early afternoon for this top Bristow real estate agent was filled with tasks that don't fall into the realm of absolute necessity. They also don't fall into the category of highest and best use of time and another Bristow real estate agent might farm them out to a runner or assistant. Not me. Personal attention is what my Bristow sellers get when they hire me.
Three Bristow listings needed my attention today. The first was 10143 Broadsword Drive. This one is on my street. The owners requested shoe covers because the snow we had yesterday is melting and making muddy messes outside. They didn't want that stuff tracked inside on their lovely hardwood floors. I don't blame them. All I needed to do was locate my shoe covers. Besides, I had to swing by and throw an Open Saturday rider on the post.
Next up, a trip to 13802 Tartan Hills Parkway. That listing just did a price improvement to $419,000. Owners have moved out and I was there to check out what staging may need to be done in advance of an open house. It's always easier to picture space when it has furnishings in it. The owner was there working, as her place of business has not yet set up a secure Internet connection for her at her new residence. There she sits in a vacant home, working away, while buyer after buyer is touring with their agent. We chatted what to do with the remaining bed frame. Turns out, one of my staging air mattresses will likely fit it perfectly. Some linens on top and it will look perfect.
Finally, a trip to an upcoming townhouse listing in Bristow. It's a three level, one car garage townhouse coming on the market next week, priced at $335,000. Mrs. Seller expressed a desire for a St. Joseph statue. Why should she buy one when I happen to have a stack of them? Mind you, there's not much St. Joseph is going to do to make this home sell faster than it already will. There is nothing for buyers in that price range to purchase right now. Nonetheless, it was my pleasure to drop St. Joseph off to her.
Mrs. Seller was home when I got there, but by the look on her face, things weren't going well on the other end of the phone call she was having. The last minute stresses associated with a potential delay on their out of state, new construction home today (waiting for an occupancy permit) and stressing about Mr. Seller making his flight home would have been enough. On top of that heaping pile of anxiety, U-Haul was informing her the moving truck she booked here in Virginia may not be there for her tomorrow. St. Joseph was a welcome site. Even their cranky old dog was happy to see me. The old furry gal didn't show an ounce of crank. She cuddled right up next to me on the couch and begged for tummy rubs.
Another day in the life of a top Bristow Real Estate Agent. No wheeling and dealing today, just taking care of the details that are important to my sellers. Want that kind of agent taking care of you when you sell your Bristow home? I have lockboxes ready to be assigned to your house. Just give me a call.
