Is the House Hunter Method the best way to show homes?
By Doug Rogers, Your Alexandria Louisiana Agent
(Bayou Properties)
I must admit enjoying the show House Hunters. Even before becoming an agent I would tune in 2-3 times a week and watch some random family buy a home. Now that I show houses multiple times a week, I have strayed from the House Hunters approach. On the show the agent talks non stop. The poor buyer is lucky to get a couple of words in while the agent pauses for breath. During a showing the bulk of my time is spent listening. Maybe I think the paint is tacky, honestly though who cares what I think? Am I going to pay the mortgage? If there is glaring safety defect then I will chime in, otherwise the clients do the majority of the talking. During our initial meeting I point out to the clients that my job is to listen. There job is to vocalize any likes...
