Here are 12 strange things Real Estate agents do
-
You trespass quite frequently
When the listing agents forgets to leave the keys in the lockbox, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and hop a fence. -
You're often bringing your own furniture into other people's homes
The entire home preparation process can take around two weeks or more. You do whatever it takes to take your client’s home to the next level, even if that means borrowing your own furniture. There’s nothing wrong with sprucing things up with your own belongings! -
You're really concerned with what your client's pets and children are up to
Home buyers are aware of the damage children and pets can do to a home’s interior. You know to remove of their belongings, scent, and presence before open houses. That means Fido and Susy better have after school plans! -
You're overly interested in your client's neighbors
We’ve all heard those horror stories of neighbors that decide to throw a house party or tan in the nude conveniently during your scheduled open house. You’ve learned to talk with neighbors before holding an open house. -
People often ask how long you've lived in this town
From the sounds of who and what you know in your neighborhood, people might think you’ve been living in this town for 100 years. Real Estate is all about connections and you know a lot about local businesses, people, and non-profits. -
You don't believe normal people should have access to Check Your Zestimate
Zillow told you you’re home was worth how much!? Clients are beginning to have unrealistic expectations as to how much their home is worth because of Check Your Zestimate and Trulia Estimate. More clients need to trust agent’s comparative market analysis. Agents have years of experience and can account for abnormalities such as a nearby foreclosure. -
You're overly sensitive to the smell of other people's homes
Some sellers just don’t understand that in order to get the most out of the sales, their house needs to smell inviting. There’s nothing worse than dealing with a sensitive client whose house smells like pets, children, food, or other mysterious odors. -
You like to bake in other people's homes
Referring to our previous point in number seven, the smell of a home has a lot of affect on it’s sale. You often put in place in a batch of cookies before showing the listing. -
You're a social media guru
You’re just as interested in the latest social media craze, as much as any marketing professional or millennial. -
You've considered becoming a licensed MFT (Marriage and Family Therapist)
There’s no better feeling than when a husband and wife agree on the value of a home. -
You're on the phone during strange hours
The home buying and selling process can be stressful. Clients often need answers to last minute questions and don’t know a boundary of 9 am to 5 pm. -
Sometimes you just need closure
As an agent you know there’s no better feeling than a successfully closing a sale or purchase. It’s like how a college student feels at the end of finals or how how a tax preparer feels at the end of tax season.
