Better Service Fewer Problems and Surprises Safety

Why Agents and Buyers Should Have Their First Meeting at the Office APRIL 2001 Many buyers have a set idea of how things are going to be done when they go out to find a new home. For some buyers, once they have this idea set in their mind, no amount of logic or reasoning will change their mind. It may be just as unfortunate, that there are a number of agents who will do whatever the buyer asks them to do. This is not necessarily in anyone’s best interest.	Additional Articles

Buyers and agents both need to know that there some compelling reasons for meeting in the office the first time you meet. Buyers can receive a higher level of service in a more efficient manner, the sales transaction will be carried out with fewer problems and a much lower chance of unexpected surprises for the buyer, proper preparation to arrange financing can be made and the safety of everyone concerned is much more certain. Better and More Efficient Service Buyers that try to meet agents at houses think they are saving time. They aren’t. Meeting at the house will lead a buyer to a string of houses that don’t meet their needs. They will also be missing numerous houses that are exactly along the lines of what they are looking for. No buyer can drive down every residential road, see every sign or find every ad. Plus some properties may not be advertised and may not even have a sign. If an agent takes the time to conduct a thorough interview in the office at their first meeting, they can really find out what is going to make the buyer happy. An hour in the office could mean looking at only eight houses instead of thirty. A properly conducted meeting can save numerous hours down the road. continued ©2000, 2001, 2002 Quarry-Pyramid, Inc.
