Ep. 174: Matt Farnham Shares How to Show Houses During COVID-19!

Selling the Dream: A Podcast for Resort & 2nd Home Real Estate Agents

How can you keep showing houses during COVID-19?

With so many people under stay at home orders, it’s hard to imagine gathering people together for an open house!

That means we have to stay innovative in how we show houses!

Whether it be video tours, or figuring out ways to be able to really know what your clients want, you’d be amazed to know that houses are still selling right now!

You just have to change the way that you do the work!

When you take someone to see a home, and they are pre-approved, and are ready to make an offer, you’re going to find that sellers are willing to work with you to make it happen! They know you’re not going to be bringing in tire kickers and wasting their time: they know you’ve brought the cream of the crop!

This week on the Tip Tuesday episode of the Selling the Dream podcast, I’m bringing in Matt Farnham to share how he’s still selling houses, even during COVID-19!

Thanks for joining us on Selling the Dream - we wouldn’t be where we are without you listening, and giving your feedback! Make sure that you give us a rating and review on iTunes: that would mean the world to me, and will help us get even more amazing guests on our Friday episodes of the show.

Highlights of this episode:

• Not sure how to show houses during COVID-19?

• Set expectations with your buyers! Help them know that they aren’t just going to get into any or every house!

• Get all the pre-approvals done first! Be ready to make a decision when the time comes!

• Do everything you can to eliminate non-essential showings!

• Do video tours if available.

• If your sellers know that you’re doing the work beforehand to keep unnecessary traffic out of their homes, they are going to want to work with you!

• You can still be actively selling homes right now! It’s just about being smart in how you do things!
