Ever realize that for every argument or position you support, there is an equally compelling argument or position! I encourage you to know both sides so you can support or defend your position as needed. Here are some of the more popular ones. Feel free to comment and add as you see fit.
1) Lockboxes vs Agent accompanying showings:
· Lockboxes allow immediate and absolute access
· Accompanying allows more salesmanship, especially if the showing agent isn’t familiar with the property
2) Broker’s Open Houses
· Allow agents to preview the house
· Waist of time-Top agents don’t need a free lunch and don’t have time to preview homes
3) Client Open Houses
· Buyers who aren’t working with an agent can visit your home
· Waist of time-You’ll get nosey neighbors, bottom fisherman, etc.
4) Making Improvements vs. Not
· Will make your home more saleable & show better
· Buyers will want to paint & replace carpet with their own colors-just lower the price to allow for buyer paid improvements
