 How to Avoid
"No Shows"
One
of the most frustrating things a Seller has to deal with is an agent
making an appointment and then not showing up. There are
several reasons this happens, most of them have to do with the Buyer's
decision.
Whatever the reason,
sometimes showing appointments are made and not kept.
You,
as the Seller, can help reduce or eliminate the number of times this
occurs by keeping a written record of the phone calls from showing
agents. The simple act of writing down an agent's name,
company, phone number and asking that agent to let you know if
his/her plans change will stop many no shows. Add the
request to your answering machine message: "Hi, you've
reached the ______ family. If you are a Realtor and will be
showing our home, please leave your name, company, phone numbers and
the time we can expect you. Please let us know if your plans
change."
Remember
that if a no show does occur, you do have the name, company, and phone
numbers of the agent and Sharon will be happy to call and ask what
happened.
