WHERE BUYERS FIND THEIR
Showings
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene utilizes ShowingTime to schedule and manage showings. ShowingTime is the leading showing management and feedback service provider in the real estate industry. With 24/7 availability, agents and sellers can receive optimal service any time of the year.
Using ShowingTime can result in more showings, a higher feedback response rate and a better home-selling experience. ShowingTime addresses all aspects of the home selling process, starting with bringing each showing request to sellers’ fingertips, sending notifications when a showing is complete, tracking showing activity on a listing(s), and consolidating all feedback and activities in easy-to-read infographics.
As a seller, you can take advantage of the My Home by ShowingTime mobile app and web experience, which makes it easy to manage and take part in the home-selling process.
BY DOWNLOADING THE MY HOME MOBILE APP, YOU CAN:
• Confirm/decline showing requests
• See all upcoming appointments
• Review your home’s showing and feedback activity
• Adjust your notification preferences
SHOWING FEEDBACK
We will contact each buyer’s agent and/or prospective buyer for feedback to discuss the interest level, answer any questions, address buyer concerns, and encourage scheduling a possible second showing of the property. We can also determine what impression your home may have made on the buyer and/or agent and take action on any suggestions or recommendations that might better market your home.
CompetitivePositioning
Approximately 80% of market activity occurs during the first six weeks and proper “market value” pricing results in greater exposure and an increased probability of a quick sale. An overpriced home may experience fewer showings and can miss this first six week surge of opportunity and may ultimately be overlooked.
AVG. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIST PRICE AND SELLING PRICE BY LENGTH OF TIME ON MARKET* -1.9% LESS
MARKET ACTIVITY OVER TIME
LIST PRICE IN RELATION TO MARKET % OF BUYERS WHO WILL VIEW PROPERTY
and COMMUNICATION FEEDBACK
Our communication with you, the seller, is critical to an exceptional selling experience. You will be contacted via your preferred method with feedback, reports, and comments on a regular basis.
ACTIVITY REPORTS
We will provide periodic activity reports that detail all marketing and advertising efforts. The reports will include open houses, showing activity and comments from prospective buyers and their agents, as well as a neighborhood market activity report that includes a list of comparable properties on the market that are active, pending, or recently sold. Also, a digital activity report will be provided, outlining the online traffic being driven to your property.
OBJECTION VS CONDITION
It is important to differentiate between possible objections and conditions regarding the property.
• An objection is a feature or state that can be adjusted or corrected. Common objections: outdated paint or wallpaper, carpet in disrepair, landscape in need of sprucing, etc.
• A condition is a feature that can’t be changed or altered. Common conditions: property located on a busy street, property backing to commercial property, located in a flood plain, etc.
ADVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Armed with the knowledge of the difference between objections and conditions, we will review and consider all market activity and feedback provided by prospective buyers and their agents and will share suggestions based on all pertinent information so you are armed with the best information to make informed decisions along the way.
