Showing Instructions

 

With reasonable notice, please make your home accessible for agent and prospect showings.

 

A Sales Associate will be calling to:

1. Schedule an appointment for themselves.
2. Schedule an appointment for another associate from another Company office.
3. Schedule an appointment for another cooperating broker.

Request and note the name and agency of the showing agent.

Once an appointment is arranged, please tell the calling associate one of the following:

“Someone will may or maynot be home to let but there is a lock box.  

 

Instruct everyone to use the lockbox, every time!

 

Prior to the appointment, open draperies, blinds, etc., turn on all of the interior lights (and exterior lights if it is after dusk), and tidy up the bedrooms, baths, and kitchen. Leave some music on.

Vacating the home is the ideal situation for the demonstration of your property. Whenever possible, do not stay in your house with the prospects during showings or, have as few people as possible in the house during showings. The potential buyers may feel like intruders and want to hurry through your house to get away from the crowd. 

 

If you are present during showings, please stay in the background when the buyers are in your home. The salesperson knows the buyer’s needs and desires, and can better emphasize those features of your home when you are not present. If there are any questions, the salesperson will find you if you are needed.

 

Have confidence in our sales associates! Let the sales associate discuss the selling price, terms, possession dates, and other factors with the customer. Remember, the sales associate has worked for many hours with the prospects, and knows what they are looking for. Let him or her do the job without interference to bring negotiations to a satisfactory conclusion in your behalf.
