Pre-Market Showings

Pitfalls and Advantages

My team and I have been working hard to prepare our client’s Moraga home for sale. A neighbor has been watching the progress and reached out to me for an early showing request. Here are a few things to consider.

Pitfalls

• Could be leaving money on the table without full exposure to the market.

• Get into contract with a buyer without open-market competitive terms. Contingencies. #opportunity

• Buyer did not see how the market reacted to the home creating doubt in the home's true value.

Advantages

• Use leverage to set price and terms with buyer based on an off-market opportunity

• No agents and buyers tromping through your home.

• No open houses

• Likely quicker close

• Possible cost savings on final improvements and staging.

Have a fabulous Labor Day.
