Home > Home Selling > Setting Your Showing Parameters

As a word of advice for the Frisco TX Home Sellers in this Buyer's real estate market these days:

Buyers who set up appointment times with their agents to view your Frisco TX home may be tainted if you set too many parameters for viewing your home. With the amount of properties in the Frisco TX Homes market at the moment, maybe what you just did has hindered your showing activities, hence impede the sale of your Frisco TX home.

Some of the common constraints:

Appointment required only: Some agents and their clients might be viewing your neighbor's property. Then, they noticed your property was for sale too. (You had great curb appeal and they had to come in to take a look). But when the buyer's agent make the call to view the property, it says Appointment Required. So happened, you were in the movies and you didn't pick up that call. Guess what? The buyer's agent and buyers move on (not remembering about your home). Suggestion: Request for a courtesy call.
xx hour notice: Some showings may require 1 hour notice. I have seen some that needs a 24 hour notice. If you set yourself such parameters for viewing, again, drive-by agents and their clients do not have time to wait for 1-hour before viewing your property. While we understand that you might need a few minutes to grab your child and stuff, as long as a courtesy call is made, your potential buyers should be able to walk into your house after given notice (again, in this market).
No showings before xx a.m. or after xx p.m.: Buyer's agents would typically make appointments as early as 9:00 a.m. or ends their showings at 8:00 p.m. So, do not restraint them to come in during this time-frame. We can understand not to show the house at 7:00 a.m. or 10:00 p.m. I am not saying make your house a revolving door, but if you limit yourself, you might not catch those "early birds" or the "late night owls". In my personal experience, I have seen a showing instruction to not show the house after 6:00 p.m. That makes showings very difficult for the sale of your home. Guess what? Most buyers view houses after work, while you are trying to get home to prepare dinner. It will be inconvenient - and the home-selling process is never convenient. I take it that if you are bothered so often, those are good signs that your home has great showing activities. High showing activities lead to a contract eventually.
No showings between 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. (seller's child takes naps): This is really a big question. Should you restrain showings like this? Could your child take naps at an alternative location when a showing is pending?

Re-consider your showing parameters. In a market such as this, you would only hope many, many showings are made for your Frisco TX property until you could barely stay in. That, will be a good sign for a sale is near. If you set too many showing parameters, you might be setting yourself up for a failure.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Read about what our satisfied clients have to say:

When she arrived for our appointment, we went through the normal preliminary procedures and all was fine. Then she surprised us. She had already done most of the work and only needed to take a few pictures of the inside and determine the price that we would be comfortable asking. She also spent a great deal of time explaining to us how the whole sales process work and what we could expect.

Eric & Tomoko Quere, Plano TX

Ultimately, Loreena introduced us to the house we bought--it was not one we found from our own hours of searching web listings--based on the the comments we had made while we visited these different homes. This is a testimony to her ability to listen well and to work proactively on our behalf.

Jenn & Glen Miller, Denton TX

We were completely impressed with Loreena. She helped us find and buy a home in Frisco. We have very high expectations from a realtor and she surpassed them. Knows her market extremely well, not just the technical market pricing data, but the nuances of all the neighborhoods as well. One of the most responsive and professional persons I've met in my entire business career.

Ruth & Jerry Meek, Frisco TX

I just want to thank you again for your help in selling our house. In this tough economy and market, I really didn't expect to get an offer. But you counseled me so well in pricing the house to sell and yet not letting me accept an offer that was too low. I believe we got the best deal we could have. I was so pleased and surprised with what we walked away with.

Sally & Phillip Barnard, Frisco TX
