SHOWINGS MEET STRATEGY

How Showings are Scheduled

Showing requests are submitted either directly to your Vanderblue agent or through the
ShowingTime platform on the MLS. We will confirm all appointments with you in advance to
ensure availability.
Once confirmed, the showing agent and their clients will arrive during the scheduled time
window and access the home using the electronic keybox.
We will attend showings to answer questions and highlight your home’s features while still
allowing buyers the privacy to explore when possible.
If you prefer alternative arrangements, we’re happy to accommodate your preferences.

The Importance of Feedback

Feedback plays a vital role in the intricate world of real estate. An agent’s responsibilities extend
far beyond merely connecting buyers and sellers; they involve a subtle choreography of
communication and guidance for both parties.
Providing feedback to the seller after showings is a crucial step in this intricate process. It acts as
a bridge, linking expectations with the reality on the ground, shedding light on the path forward.
To accomplish this effectively, agents and sellers must maintain open minds, understanding that
the insights garnered during showings are not mere observations but rather the strokes of the
brush painting a picture of a successful sale.
Every comment and critique contributes to educating both agent and seller about their home’s
unique position in the current market. Evaluating feedback effectively is a skill that is perfected
through years of experience and will lead to the highest possible sales price.

Turning Feedback into Leverage

Your agent should strive to be present whenever possible during showings to witness this
feedback firsthand.
Consistent follow up with showing agents via text, email and phone calls is crucial.
Building strong lines of communication and maintaining a good reputation with showing agents
is imperative to elicit honest feedback. Responses like “It’s not for them” should not suffice, and
our team knows how to diplomatically extract pertinent information from agents.
It is essential to develop a personalized plan for how feedback should be communicated after
showings. Regularly reviewing this feedback, either weekly or bi-monthly, and discussing
solutions is key to crafting a pathway towards a successful sale.
