Don't be that person

Don't be that person

Don’t be that person.

I have never been shy of critique towards traditional estate agents; but this topic is around buyers. Personal time has never been more vital and this blog is about the buyers who don’t seem care to care about your time or ours…

When booking a viewing to see a property it’s not just a commitment to a flexible appointment. It is a commit to look at somebody’s home. With that commitment to view, the homeowner is also likely to spend a fair amount of effort getting their home ready for you. Hours of effort sometimes can be put into tidying and cleaning a property. On top of that, due to the current climate, that homeowner has to make arrangements to leave their property and go somewhere for the duration of the viewing.

For an estate agent like us, we will block out a diary and give up our personal and professional time for you the viewer.

So as the title of this blog says… DON’T BE THAT PERSON who cancels last minute like it means nothing. Things happen and we understand that. Just try to put yourself in the eyes of the homeowner before you do.

Any questions? Give us a shout. Or you can book a meeting here.

You might be Googling things like: • “What should my estate agent be doing to sell my house?” • “House on Rightmove but no viewings” • “How do I change estate agents if I’m not happy?” And here’s what I’d say to your agent, the things I know sellers are thinking but don’t always say out loud.

It’s been a few weeks (maybe longer), and the buzz has faded. Viewings are few and far between. Updates are sparse. And your agent’s enthusiasm? Nowhere to be seen.

Many people like you get stuck in that “almost ready” stage. You want to move, you’ve registered with agents, you might even have seen some dream homes online… but your current property still isn’t on the market.

You're not imagining it. And no, it’s probably not your house that’s the problem.
