Accessibility, Do you have it?

Yesterday, I received a call from an agent who wanted to show one of our seller's homes... she told me that she had left two messages for the owner and wanted to get into the property at 3pm. It was 1pm when she called me. I asked her when she left her messages and she replied both messages were left "today". The moral of the story?

You can lower your price all day and bring more buyers to your door, but if they can't get in the door, you won't get the sale.

You must realize that Buyer's Agents are people who work on behalf of the buyer. They try to give ample notice to show your home...but if the buyer says, "lets see it today" then it leaves the agent scrambling. The agent will try to contact you, so consider using a phone or pager that you can carry around with you. It could make or break a potential deal!

You must be prepared for short notice, if you want to sell your home. This means getting or renting a lockbox and putting it where you can direct an agent to find it. You can also, advertise that you have a lockbox on your listing, which only let agents know the house is accessible, not the public.
