This is Part II of the previous post with the same title (below)
I have now finished previewing the 41 homes I selected for the buyers I will be working with next week.
It has taken me the better part of four days of work to prepare for those buyers.
At this point, I have 7 drop-dead gorgeous, ideal, well-priced homes to show my buyers.
Any of the 7 would be an excellent home for their family’s needs.
I think I know which one they will pick, based upon their desired location, features, and price but that will be their decision and I will not reveal which one I think is best for them until after they make their decision.
This past Monday, I completed a broad MLS search to identity potential homes.
That search yielded a stunning 175-200 homes.
Then, I narrowed the field by applying my knowledge of areas, subdivisions, and builders to end up with 41 remaining properties.
Then, I eliminated about half of those 41 homes with drive-bys (busy streets, burned up landscaping, backing to commercial or office professional properties, etc.)
Then, I personally inspected the rest and ended up with the final 7 homes I will show my buyer.
It is both fascinating and rewarding to look back on my activities on this clients’ behalf this week.
I KNOW I have done a good job for my clients and am confident that I am very well-prepared for next week.
Preparation = confidence 😉
One of my colleagues at the office asked me “Why in the world do you DO that?” this afternoon.
My reply was simply “That’s just how I do it!”
I will know if I did a good job when I show my buyers those 7 homes next week.
If I have accurately assessed their wants, needs, and motivation they will buy one of the 7 homes.
If not, we will re-approach the situation, figure out how we went astray, and start over.
