DANGER: Open
Houses are dangerous for real estate agents and brokers. Most people don’t know
that because the, you know, to tell the truth, I don’t know why. There are
courses and pamphlets available from the real estate commission and from the
Realtor association; there was even a special class for agents to be licensed
to carry a concealed weapon. I am. The other story is Open Houses are
good for meeting folks who might be prospects. And yes, sometimes a house is
sold at an Open House. I card Open Houses as risky. I wash my car, clean out
the car, sort newspapers in the car, but I try to never be alone with someone I
don’t know. And that can be women as well. The stalkers change their methods of
operation.
PERCEPTION:
I held an Open House this past weekend. A couple came in, whizzed around, asked
about leasing the property after the sale, I asked their names. He gave me
their first names and I asked for their last name. I explained the Homeowner’s
Association, to their credit WISE, changed
their by-laws on the cusp of the Great Recession to allow only three rentals at
one time and only for a period of a year. “Jerry” called me yesterday to say he
had found a townhome not on the market and the seller and he had come to an
agreement, would I fill out the contract and a lease agreement for them? You
know, “just point to where each would sign”, that’s all. Of course, I said “No.” PROCESS Real estate is not just a document (or 20
or 30 or more), I think it is an intention to reach a thorough meeting of the
minds on all levels and make sure all parties know that. If not, explain until
it is understood: obligations, dates, money, options. Thoroughness, ad
nauseum.
Now the real cool thing is,TECHNOLOGY. Buyers and sellers can be in distant
places even all four of them if they are couples and DocuSign is one of the
wizards that can accomplish all initials and signatures across thousands of
miles in a snap.
