Today, we'll discuss how to get the most showings possible. Sometimes, sellers sabotage their own listing by not providing easy access for agents to show the property. There are three different types of showings:
Go-and-show - This is usually for vacant properties.
Courtesy call - This showing is used when the owners still live in the home.
Appointment - This is also an option for owner-occupied homes.
Most agents will schedule a buyer appointment for a certain timeframe, say between 1:00 and 3:00. The rest of their day is usually dedicated to other aspects of the real estate business. If you say no, then they will probably skip your house. Also, if the agent gives you a specific timeframe, they have already mapped out a route in your neighborhood. Again, if you cannot make that timeframe work, they will probably skip your home.
The courtesy call is the best way to have an easy showing process. The agent calls an hour or two in advance. If you are flexible with your time, this is a great option for you. Appointments are also great for pet owners who need to get the pets out of the home before showings.
If you have any questions about today's video, or about real estate in general, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have!
