Selling a house
successfully requires a partnership between Vendor and Realtor. I will be
handling much of the process without needing to be directly in touch with you.
However, I need your co-operation in a number of key areas in order to realize the best
value the market can provide. These are:
- Showcase
Your House. The most important role you can play is to get your house up to
marketable value by following the steps outlined in my showcasing
your home section as quickly as possible. You never get a second chance to make
a first impression.
- Provide
Easy Access by Installing a Lock Box. Top producing agents, who are the
most likely to bring you the serious buyers you need to sell your home, will not show your
home if easy access is not readily available. They do not have time, and frequently do not
have the opportunity to hunt down keys when setting up appointments for showing a number
of homes to a buyer. The best way to ensure your house is always available for showing is
to install a lock box. With a lock box, you will never lose a showing because a buyer
couldn't wait while the selling agent tried to find the key.
Make Your Property Always Available for
Showing. Buyers are frequently moving to your area from another
location entirely. They cannot afford to "come back later" once they set up a
schedule with their Realtor. Every showing you get is a possible sale in the making. It
takes a determined buyer to come back once they have been turned down for a showing. Most
buyers simply do not come back. So it is important that you make your property available
for showing at all reasonably requested times.
Arrange to Leave the House During all
Showings. Buyers want to try a house out for size when they come to a
showing. They need to be able to do that on their own, with the Realtor they are working
with. It is always essential that you vacate your home at the time of a showing. I will be
able to give you reactions from the buyers usually within 24 hours, and frequently in much
less time than that.
Notify Me When You Leave the House.
If you are planning to be away for more than 2 days, it is important that you notify me
and provide me with a forwarding phone and/or fax number.
