Do listing agents show properties anymore?
What is YOUR experience
Even before Covid was your listing agent actually going and showing houses to potential buyers and sellers?
Had a situation today on a house I listed with an agent yesterday
I happen to be at the vacant house when a potential buyer and their agent showed up
I was just there to water the new sod. Told them to make themselves at home They accessed the property via the selling agent’s lockbox
As they were about to leave They asked if I could show them the property lines. It’s 5 acres
They asked some other questions and left
It occurred to me am I losing out on potential buyers because no one is there to show them lot lines etc?
All of my fix and flips are on average with features which need to be pointed out as opposed to being able to just read about them
What do you think?
Based upon the value of the houses I will be selling this year, I wonder if I am better off hiring a full time agent to show only my houses?
Anyone ever done this?
Perhaps this is a topic for another thread?
