MAN you are GOOD!!!
I want to hire you. And I AM an agent.
I'm working on the same type of post for my market area...Excellent tips for the seller to consider.
I love the way we can stack the deck by which questions we ask, or what attributes we say an agent should have.
By the way - the link to your Bonita Springs Real Estate blog in the post doesn't work.
Hey Chris, Good one! I would add a Company Call Center or Centralized Showing Service so agents can conveniently set up appts. Nothing worse than only a lisitng agent to contact and they're not available when you need them!
Ginger
Chris,
Virtual tours, Real Estate shows, etc,? Are they not effective in Bonita Springs?
Love the rest of the list...
Chris,
I would add 'Guaranteeing an efficient and pleasant closing'!!! Thanks, Fran
Good job on the list Chris. I need to work on putting together a holding calculator, I talk about the holding costs, it makes sense to show the actual costs to the client.
I like it!
Does that calculator have one of those big solar panels on it?
I hear you are running faster these days --cool beans. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for stopping by, everyone. I fixed the link.
Mike, I brushed on visual tours with the realtor.com placement
Fran, that's a given.
Aziz, I'm slower! I'm training for a 1/2 marathon and had to slow to do the distance. Everything hurts right now. I am doing a 5K Jingle run tonight and wondering why I'm doing it at this slow pace.
I have the absorption rate and holding cost worksheets if anyone needs them. They're region specific and have a KW logo on it but you're welcome to fashion your own from them.
I scored 80%. I know it's a passing grade in school, but I'm a perfectionist. I need the wide angle lens and our area does not use the Supra Lockboxes. (I'm going to have to make some calls to find out why...) Hope your run went well!
But I don't like my static site!!!
Yeah, Bob. Some of us don't. Some of us don't like our spouses either, but we're working with what we got. o^o
Good tips. I also recommend staging and if they do not want to pay a stager, I give some tips myself.
I would add a high end printer... there is nothing like someone who thinks that they should just have a basic fax that is only used for faxing when in fact the quality of the scan and print functions are LOW
when shopping for a good printer/scanner/fax/copier you need to be aware of the scan resolution... also many come with scan to pdf functions!
I send a lot of things to my fax service that sends everything to me immediately in PDF format... but I have a high resolution fax!!
I personally like the new Pro HP line.. use the XL cartidges and your cost per page is almost as low as laser. Plus if you print a lot, their high end has 2 paper trays for legal/letter, plain/letterhead, etc... it has auto-duplex which means it can automatically print on both sides of the paper (use double sided paper!... I'm not kidding, most paper is only coated on one side to accept print and most office super store employees won't tell you this because they don't know... I worked for a big printer company)... it also has wireless networking so you can remove some clutter.
Glad you included the upgraded Realtor.com. Despite the controversy, I still think this is critical! I would add an e-fax, online forms.
Love this list! This gives me a great idea for how to incorporate into my listing presentation. Do you mind if I retool for my area? Also, I'd love to see your tools for holding costs and absorption rates. I use a net sheet spreadsheet for sellers which helps everything go better!
I realy like the Supra lock box. Even though the MLS agent comments state call listing office some agents do not comply. If you have configured the Lock Box number with your MLS info you can see who showed and contact them for feed back etc.
Chris - this is a good list, and we've got all of it covered. the blog is tops, like you have it here, and the blog has also given rise to our static site.
hope you've had a great and prosperous holiday
best
Chris - loved this post and would love the sheets you mentioned - thanks!!
