STEP 24 – TO SELLING YOUR HOME – MY PROPERTY IS LIVE IN THE MLS, WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

April 13, 2020 By Andi Leave a Comment

Congratulations, your home is now on the market, and all the hard work you’ve put in thus far should start paying off soon! So far, you’ve done a lot of prep work to get your home market-ready. Now it’s our job to bring you an offer.

Generally, it takes 24 – 48 hours before we get our first showing request. As soon as a request comes in, we will let you know via text, email, or phone, depending on your preference. It’s not unusual to get showing requests in the AM for that afternoon or evening, so when you leave each day, plan to have showings even if we don’t have one on the calendar. If that is an issue due to pets at home, kids, etc. let us know, and we can require 24 hours’ notice (but Buyers may still request sooner).

Once a showing request comes in, you can approve it, deny it, or ask for a different day/time through the ShowingTime App. Remember, the quicker we can get buyers into your place and the fewer showings we have to deny or reschedule, the quicker we can get your place under contract. Our mantra is that the buyer shouldn’t have to work around our schedule, which is why we always put a lockbox on every property we sell. We want to get buyers in as quickly as possible and, to do that, we need to work around their schedule.

Typically showings last 15-30 minutes. You’ll need to be out 15 minutes before the appointed showing time in case the buyer and their Broker are early. Plan to be out of the home for 45 minutes for each showing request. For example, if a showing is scheduled for 5 pm, please be out by 4:45 pm and don’t come home until after 5:30 pm. 

As soon as a showing is finished, the buyer’s Broker will immediately get an email asking for feedback and if their client is interested in the home. Unfortunately, only about 30% of Brokers take the time to give feedback and may be indisposed with their clients. If we receive feedback, we will immediately forward it to you to review.  Don’t be surprised when we don’t get feedback and don’t be offended by feedback. We’re looking for that ONE buyer who loves your home. Most of your home won’t be the right fit for various reasons, but we only need to find one.

Remember, we’re a team, and we want to get your house sold just as much as you do!

Testimonials from Happy Homeowners

Andi is a very motivated and talented professional who considers all aspects of any project before quickly moving forward with precise action.
~ Teresa

Andi quickly discovered our parameters and made sure we didn't waste time looking at properties we wouldn't be interested in and stay within our budget.
~ Trulia Reviewer

Andi has a keen instinct for smart marketing and is very responsible to her clients. She is a committed Real Estate broker and has a very sunny disposition. No matter what your needs are, be it finding a home or selling your current real property, her years of experience in the field are a huge asset!
~ T.W.

It has been a pleasure working with Andi. She always has a smile and a positive attitude. She put a lot of time and effort into selling my house and I couldn't have happier with anyone else.
~J.M.

Selling a house is STRESSFUL. There are so many things to do and so many cracks to slip into. Thanks to Andi, there were no cracks with her timely checklists; she showed me that selling doesn’t have to be so stressful. A good selling experience is possible! She is the broker to keep in your back pocket.
~ Rose W.

Andi was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with her was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. All throughout the negotiations and closing she was there quickly handling any issues that may have risen. We would recommend her to anyone. If the time ever comes when I will be looking for a new home, there isn't any question on who my Realtor will be!
