What About Open Houses


TopBG001
Many Luxury Homes in AZ sellers wonder if Sunday open houses are worth the inconvenience. Some complain that agents use open houses to pick up clients rather than to sell their home. Others worry about security. Do the rewards outweigh the risks?

Plenty of sellers have sold homes without ever having a public open house. However, many more sellers will admit that they actually found their home at a public open house. Public open houses provide additional market exposure that in some cases will result in a sale.

Those who resist the notion ofLuxury Homes in AZ open houses insist that serious buyers will make appointments to see the listing. But, most of today's buyers have to work in order afford a home. Many of them can't take time off during the week to preview a new listing. Sunday open houses provide an easy way for buyers to catch up on the new inventory on their own.

Another factor to consider is that some buyers—who may be on the fence about moving, or who aren't considering moving at all—take the leap after seeing an exceptional property at a Sunday open house.

There are certainly good reasons not to have an open house. If you have a house full of irreplaceable valuables, you might want to forego a public open house. Even though this may mean losing a buyer or two, this might be a reasonable trade-off for your peace of mind. If you're in favor of open houses, but have security concerns, ask your agent to bring a colleague to provide extra supervision.

Good houses that lack "curb appeal" are prime candidates for Sunday open houses. There are buyers who won't even consider a house that doesn't look smashing from the street. But, again, there's a chance they'll take a look inside if it's easy to drop by on a Sunday afternoon.

Buying from a Builder

"I want to buy a new home from a builder. I don't need a Realtor ... Do I ?"

It's tempting to assume that new construction is sound construction, but that's not always the case. There are many factors to consider when purchasing a new home and they can seem overwhelming if you don't have the right resources available to you. Some of these factors include; investigating the builder, evaluating the location, getting a thorough inspection, negotiating the upgrades you want, spending countless hours researching ads and driving around town. You need someone who has experience in all of these areas and can help guide you through this process by keeping you informed of all your options. In addition, the builder pays me from their marketing dollars or other funds so my services come at no cost to you!

Some other important points to consider:
  • Having me represent you WILL NOT affect the price of your new home.
  • Most contracts favor builders NOT buyers.
  • Unlike some other agents, I will accompany you to your contract signing in order to look out for your interests.
  • I provide access to qualified home inspectors who will make sure your home exceeds all quality standards.

You can avoid costly mistakes by having the right representation! Remember, I must accompany you upon your FIRST VISIT TO ANY BUILDER in order for representation to be established. My hope is that you would allow me to serve you and walk with you through the entire new home buying experience. My MLS access provides me with information on hundreds of new homes throughout the Valley. Call me today to get started with your new home search!
