How I provide my clients with feedback from buyers and other agents
November 20, 2007 at 8:14 am , by Jenel Looney
When I get a new listing, I generally put a lockbox on the front door. I link that specific lockbox to that specific address by going to the website of the company that makes the lockboxes. By having the lockbox linked to a specific address, I know which REALTORS have shown my listings, and when. At the end of the day, when the REALTOR uploads the data from their electronic key, the system sends me an email to let me know that house has been shown.
Moreland has an excellent online feedback request system. I log in to the Moreland site and add the showing to the database. The system then sends an email to the REALTOR who showed the place, asking whether their buyers liked the place, what they thought of the price, if they were thinking of making an offer, that sort of thing. It takes about one minute for the REALTOR to provide this invaluable feedback through the automated system. As soon as they click OK, an email is shot to both me and to my sellers, keeping us both informed about how the market is reacting to this listing. It’s a fantastic tool.
Another advantage to the lockbox is that my sellers and I can dictate when the house can be shown. The sellers don’t have to worry that some REALTOR will walk in on them and their rubber duckie in the bathtub at ten o’clock in the evening. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for everyone concerned?
