Advice from Your South Barrington Buyers Agent - Second Showings on Your Barrington Home - A Buyers Market Necessity

When your home is for sale, buyers need to look at your home. At some point a buyer may ask to come back for a second showing. This is a good indication that your home meets most of their requirements.

Why do Buyers Need a Second Showing?
Consider that today buyers have many more homes to choose from and may need several visits out with their Barrington Buyers Agent to view all potential candidates.
Consider also that their visits may be spread over an extended period of time.
Most likely a buyer can remember the basics about every home they have visited, and have created a short list of potential homes.
It is unlikely your home is going to be the only one they take a second look.

What Are Buyers Going to Look For?
A second showing will solidify the location and curb appeal of your home in their minds.
Lay-out of the home will likely be looked at much more closely.
Quality, condition and state of repair.
Condition of carpets will be closely looked at.
General condition of both exterior and interior, buyers will be making a list of expenses.
Upgrades or lack of. Again buyers are going to be doing math and calculating costs.

Does a Second Showing Mean an Offer?
The short answer is no. The longer answer is either maybe or not necessarily.
Remembering why buyers need second showings will tell you that buyers have alot of information to sort through and homes can get pretty jumbled up in their memories.
Your potential buyer maybe considering your home, on the other hand the second visit may make them remove it from their short list.

Third Showings?
Oh yes this is much more likely in todays market that ever before. Houses rarely get snapped up in days, so buyers have time to get it right!

Please do me a favor.
As a buyers agent my job is to make sure my buyers see all the homes that match their criteria. I will take them back to many homes for second or third showings if they request. So please be patient and let me do my job. Please don't be there for second or third showings, you are hindering my abaility to do my job, and my clients feel pressured to leave and cannot ask me questions as they view. This may hinder your sale. You may not get an offer from us, but your home may become my buyers perfect dream home.
