Tour Tips

hello hello hello happy april this is randall and diane bro your friendly prescott pickle peeps and she’s the person pickle lady i am and happy to be here and um we have been super duper busy yeah things are heating up things are super heating up we have some really great buyers coming in from all over the united states um and they’ve been delightful yeah absolutely um and anyway i thought i would pass on a few how to be a good buyer yeah fire buyer etiquette buyer house buying etiquette house buying etiquette yeah there’s something near and dear to my heart because i work with a lot of buyers as does randall yeah as does a lot of our fellow agents and i think the vast majority of them are wonderful but even some of the really wonderful people from time to time they just they don’t know right they don’t know we work super super hard we we make it look super easy when we take you out but actually it takes a lot of work and preparation yeah to set up your appointments yeah and so when you give us an idea of what you want um then i go ahead and do a really intense uh home search and so what happens is is that i’ll make the home search up and then i also lay it out geographically so i make these appointments um so and we map it out uh geographically so we’re not taking you all over like a ping pong ball okay that takes some time yeah and then you’re calling people right who have to evacuate their house right uh they gotta get the dog out they gotta pick up and everything they wanna make sure their house is in great showing yeah uh you know showing form yeah and so anyway it takes a lot of work i mean it could you know when we take people out sometimes we we look at 10 houses yeah right yeah we like to give you a good taste of everything prescott has to offer so it could easily take several hours yeah that it could take two to three hours because i then you got the the time of the the homeowners themselves the sellers you know it might take them an hour to get the house ready and make arrangements for the dogs so it’s a process on both sides it’s a process on the seller’s side it’s a process on our side yeah so what you don’t want to do is you don’t want to call the morning of and say guess what we’re not coming never say that oh well yeah oh god don’t evolve i’ve had that happen now look now look if you are violently ill and you’re going to give us a plague and i okay you know they might appreciate it but it’s not a simple oh it’s saturday morning and we decided we just decided against we want to sleep in late that’s a no-go that’s kind of nice yeah it’s not cool i mean think about like you you’ve been invited to someone’s house and they’ve gone out and they’ve bought a special meal just for you and they’ve made it and you know and then you don’t go uh it’s the same sort of thing again you know if you wouldn’t go because you’re going to give everyone the plague that’s fine but uh respect yeah you need to be respectful and it takes us a lot of time to really we’re realtors so some people don’t think we’re human beings and we know our sellers are and the agents are involved in that so you know try to be cool about it we work really really hard yeah a little wind yeah anyway we try really hard um and like i said booking 10 appointments is not just booking appointments we prepare packets for you yeah we prepare i mean i mean we really make it a a special thing for you to come in and you may you may have worked with other realtors in the past and maybe they don’t go through quite that same level of effort or whatever uh but we do we do and not only that here’s another pet peeve sorry i’m not really trying to go after you you nice buyers out there don’t just show up in town we’re here oh yeah converse yeah we’d like to see it we’re here now it doesn’t it’s very difficult yeah it’s very difficult i can’t want to die that’s called i can’t be i would love to be but i can’t be a pop-tart agent where i just pop up out of the toaster and throw it together it takes a lot of time and preparation yeah to do a proper job yeah well first of all you know our schedules are pretty busy yeah but i mean even if you just show up and we are available we’ll we’ll try to take you out uh but you know it takes a while to put together the search otherwise it’s going to be a waste of your time and yeah and a waste so yeah let plan a little bit in advance call us in advance we’ll put you on the calendar so when you come you get our full undivided full day 10 house search you’ll be exhausted when it’s done but you’ll know where you want to be we do give you snacks we do give you snacks we come fully snacked and watered fortunately we’re snack ready because we know sometimes you can get angry that’s right and we don’t want that that’s right all right so uh where can they reach your pisces pickle lady you can reach me at 713-302-1964 or online at prescottpicklelady.com yes so we look forward to hearing from you yes so be a good buyer book your appointment ahead of time let us do a great job for you and follow through and follow through yeah don’t don’t pull up in front of a house and say absolutely not i’m not going yet and and i’ll tell you why sometimes you go in that house and you think this is not the house for me and you walk in and it becomes the house of your dreams that’s right so never they will surprise you never cancel an appointment yeah when we pull out in front well it happened to us yeah right absolutely the house we we ended up with was everything i said i didn’t want guess where i’m living exactly where i said i didn’t want and i loved it i loved it so never say no keep your mind open absolutely don’t cancel that appointment it’s kind of rude all right
