Do You Have “Go and Show” Real Estate?

With all the press on the stumbling real estate market in Cincinnati, West Chester, Fairfield and surrounding areas, you’d think sellers would make it easy to show their properties.
Not really! After setting several appointments, I had the pleasure of cooling my heels waiting for “confirmations” on 60% of the properties. These confirmations were for sellers who personally wanted to approve or OK every showing before allowing potential buyers into the property.
The problem- many sellers are not easy to reach and confirmation calls are not returned in a timely manner. Agents and buyers get frustrated and often skip to the next property.
We all understand a problem with an elderly parent or a newborn- but sellers who want to control every showing are reducing the number of showings- and ultimately maybe the sale of the property.
Before you give your agent 2-4 numbers to contact prior to showing the property- put yourself in the buyer’s shoes and think again.
“Go and Show” is the best way to have your property shown to as many potential buyers as possible. You can still be notified about the showing- but nobody has to wait for a confirmation call. This is the win/win way to sell a property.
