On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast, Jenn and Monica are going to duke it out over, how many times should a buyer be allowed in a house before closing once they have an accepted contract? Tune in for all of the thoughts and possible scenarios!
Episode Highlights:
- Buyers often measure things like space for furniture. They take out the measuring tape, and they are at the house for hours, and it looks like they are doing nothing.
- As per Jenn sellers are not going to be excited to let a thousand different contractors enter the house. What the buyer thinks is reasonable and what the seller thinks is reasonable is drastically different.
- When it is a big purchase, typical buyers are super excited and want everybody to see the house.
- Being real with your buyer and saying there is nothing in this contract that allows you to get in until your walkthrough close to the time can help.
- Sellers should be a little understanding about buyers’ excitement, and it helps buyers be able to be proactive on some stuff and get in.
- Tiebreaker, Colette Sikorski, says once the contract is solidified in a normal market, we only allow buyers to come back in for a home inspection or a final walkthrough.
- If buyers don’t do the home inspection, they are not coming back in until they walk through their final walkthrough for closing, and that is exactly how it should be.
- During COVID, the only person that was allowed in the home was an inspector in New York.
- Some think a home inspection and final walkthrough is standard practice, and there shouldn’t be anything in between.
- Some agents will do two showings back-to-back, which is a good tip and a great idea. And sometimes, they even bring in a home inspector to do a quick home inspection.
- Agents should figure out what your buyer will want to look at, and if you know what your clients’ hot buttons are and what they need, those are the houses you will be showing to them.
3 Key Points:
- Jenn and Monica discuss ways to create a win-win situation between the buyer and the seller.
- If there is no inspection and appraiser, it means they are probably a cash buyer, and they already knew how much it would cost to renovate it, and it’s a business decision.
- Sometimes, when you open a house for buyers to have them come through after the contract is signed, and if they haven’t done a home inspection, it opens for the possibility of them backing out of the contract.
