Yes I Show My Listings

Why I Show My Listings: 

It is because I am working on your behalf as your seller's agent. I give you that first-class service. By taking care of the details for your showings, I can highlight your home in the best possible light. My goal is to create an inviting experience for buyers. Your satisfaction throughout the selling process is top priority!

While many agents appreciate the convenience of lockboxes, I believe in the importance of a personal touch. This approach offers you peace of mind, knowing that if anything should arise, I’m right there to handle it and keep you informed.

Communication is a priority for me. Agents can be frazzled and miss appointments, but being present allows me to provide immediate updates and feedback. If buyers have comments or concerns, I can relay that information to you right away. 

Understanding buyer feedback, our MLS sends out forms for agents, but they’re not always filled out. My presence during showings not only protects your home but also allows me to engage directly with other agents. I don't need to bother the agent for feedback; I'm right there, saving time and keeping you informed. And since most of my properties are unique, I can showcase the features in real-time. 

I accommodate agents’ schedules when they request showings—except for Sundays, when I host my live radio show, “All About Real Estate.” If someone wants to see your home on a Sunday, I can arrange it after 2 p.m. Flexibility is key! 

 

In a market dominated by lockboxes, I prefer the “Rome Way”—a personalized approach to showing your home and keeping you updated.

Hello Margaret - once again, The Rome Way.  Reinforcing that all real estate practitioners are not the same.

Not all real estate practitioners are the same; Just like some listings, each is unique!

Good morning, Margaret. We showed our listings in NY City. Not here in Charlotte... buyers are not used to it and don't like the seller's agent to be present... and if they are, they often cut the showing short.

Nina Hollander, Broker,  I find that buyers appreciate the information that the listing agent has to offer. Of course, I always ask the showing agent if they mind.

Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 hi Margaret... even though we showed our listings in NY City, we were expected not to open our mouths to the buyers. Essentially, we were door openers. So there was little we could add to the situation that couldn't be answered by phone.

Nina Hollander, Broker. Many of the buyer agents from one large company make last-minute appointments, have a very high percentage of no shows, and they have never met or know anything about the so-called "buyer"!

Good morning Margaret. While I can'r say I never used lockboxes and was not present for showings have had many listings where the uniqueness of the property required it. Not having this option in my toolbox was never considered, just not every time. Enjoy your day.

 Good to see you, Wayne Martin

Having such an arsenal of tools available gives us the choice of which one is the best.

Hi Margaret,
That is true commitment. I bet the other agents love it too because you know all the answers or can get them in a timely manner.

If I don't know the answer, I can find out before their tour is complete.

Margaret I am not aware of any of the Realtors around here doing that, but I like the idea.

I'm just curious: Since you, as the seller's rep, are there for the showings, do you allow the buyer's agent to be present when you present their offer to the seller?

I have never had an agent ask to be present for the presentation.
