Home Seller's Guide by Cynthia Rich

SHOWING EXPECTATIONS Your house is ready and buyers are coming! How is it handled? Will you show by appointment or put a lockbox on your door? What if nobody comes? MAKE SHOWING YOUR PROPERTY EASY FOR AGENTS The easier your house is to show, the more often agents will show it. If you haven't agreed to a lockbox, re-think the idea. When an agent shows your house using a lockbox, you always know who and when they entered your home. Your agent will electronically retrieve the information from the lockbox after the showing and TOO FEW SHOWINGS? If there are few showings, the price may be too high. Your home may be worth the price, but if you are not having many showings, the market will not bear the price. Remember, the market determines the price. If there is little interest. consider adjusting the price. If a house stays on the market too long, it can adversely affect the selling price. Buyers will be afraid to purchase because they think there could be a significant flaw in the house, or they could face the same problem when they get ready to sell. Remember, you don't want to list your home to "own it." You want to list your home to "sell it." call the agent for feedback. Your agent will also provide additional information to the showing agent that would be helpful in the selling of your home. Your agent will pass along to you any feedback that may be helpful in the selling process.
