Greg's Real Estate Thoughts

• Apr. 9, 2006 - They're Already Here?

So far I’ve experienced all the clichés in selling my house:  I had my inner turmoil over how to price it; I've wished for my ten extra minutes in preparing for a last minute showing appointment; and I've already received a seriously low-ball offer; so why should I be surprised that I almost got caught in the shower by an agent and her buyer! 

 

Yes, the appointment that wasn't supposed to show up for an hour walked in downstairs while I was getting dressed after having just showered.  One fewer red light on the way over and it would have been really embarassing! 

 

This time the lesson is not for me as a seller's agent; it is reinforcement for something I already know when working as a buyer's agent:   Make showing appointments and then stick to my schedule or call to confirm any changes!

Old timers say real estate is getting impersonal, we don't know one another anymore. We fax and email purchass offers, don't see one another face to face, we don't get to know one another the way we used to in the 'old days.' Had the buyer's agent been just a few minutes earlier to show your home you could have made an impression on them to last a lifetime. Thanks for sharing the story Greg.

Here it is April 19 and I wonder, what is going on with Greg? Has he been walked in on? Are agents scheduling appointments and sticking to their schedule?

Great questions! I had the place temporarily off the market for the Easter Holiday while we visited my wife's family out of town. Now that I'm back, I'll relist and start my semi-regular blogging again! Thanks for the ping.
