This is the third installment in a series of blogs meant to help sellers in Davenport avoid the pitfalls that may get in the way of getting their short sale sold. In this installment we are going to talk about making sure buyers can get a foot in the door. See what I did with the picture there?
Buyers want to look around the house. They want to nitpick. They want to talk about all the things they like and don't like about the house. They can't do any of that if they can't get into the house to see it. I can't count the times that I have called and called to try to show a buyer a home and the owners just won't let it be shown. Those are the properties that stay on the market for months and months.
If your home is priced right it ought to be under contract by the time 2 months has passed. If not, something needs to change. You might need to make the house more available. If you are getting showings, and the home is show ready and well maintained, the home should sell. It's not an exact science of course, but you should do everything you can to ensure buyers are getting in the door and the house is show ready.
The best case scenario is to go and take a 10 minute walk while their Realtor shows them the house. This ensures that they can talk openly about the house without the fear of possibly insulting the seller. And that's good for you, the seller.
