Unsuccessful Estate Agent Experience
Quick Move Now was approached last week by a gentleman who had been trying to sell his semi-detached house in Bedfordshire on the open market. After six months of marketing without any luck, he found a bungalow which he wished to purchase but was reliant on selling his current property first. Afraid of losing out on the bungalow and despondent at the lack of interest in his house, he took his estate agent’s advice and allowed them to conduct an open house.The open house was scheduled for the second weekend of the following month. The gentleman was wary of the process but needed to secure a sale on the house so thought it was his only option. When speaking to us, he reported that he had felt uncomfortable with so many people entering his home and felt that there wasn’t any real control over what was going on. He found that most of the viewers were nosey neighbours who wanted a casual look at his home, fellow marketers trying to suss out the competition and time-wasting investors who had no intention of buying. Predictably, no offers were made and the inconvenience and worry had been for nothing.
Many people have shared similar open house experiences, declaring that they were pointless, awkward and, ultimately, unsuccessful. Some homeowners have even found that their open house was just an excuse for the estate agents to increase the number of people on their books and a chance for them to advertise themselves rather than the property. Furthermore, a study published on smartmoney.com reveals that the success rate for open houses is a mere 2%.
Our client need not have felt that an open house was his only option following ineffective marketing. Indeed, it wasn’t his only option, as he found when he contacted us for an offer. We completed on the purchase of his house today which meant that he secured his dream bungalow.
