Real estate agent phobia
Somehow in the world of buying and selling, there are few people who seem to have more power than they realize they have. These people include loan officers at the bank, police officers and, believe it or not, real estate agents. There are some home buyers who are afraid to call the number on the outside of the house for fear that the real estate agent will want to “meet” them in person. For some unknown reason, new home buyers think real estate agents will harass them to the same degree as a car salesman. That belief couldn’t be further from the truth.
I’ll get you into a home today!
The car salesman has one goal and one goal only. That goal is to get the potential car buyer to purchase a car that same day. The real estate agent, on the other hand, understands the fact that there is literally no possible way to get a homebuyer to get a house in one day. The fears that many first time home buyers or new home buyers have about the real estate agent is as absurd as it gets. But where does this fear begin?
More often than not, word of mouth about a bad real estate experience is what the buyer ends up fearing for the real estate profession. Homebuyers have heard from a friend or friend of a friend that the real estate agent they worked with when selling their home or when they were trying to buy a home had their throats slashed and tried to force them into a home that they did not like it. This fear is then passed on from friend to friend to the prospective home buyer looking for the house he has listed. If a home buyer seizes the opportunity and calls the number on the outside of the house, he will immediately be on his guard; waiting for the real estate agent to request a meeting.
How does the real estate agent overcome fear?
The best way for the real estate agent to deal with the potential buyer’s fear of meeting with the agent is to suggest a future open house or offer to show the family inside the house before meeting them at his royal house. estate office If the potential buyer likes the house, they are more likely to let go of that fear and talk to you about the possibility of buying the house. It is important that when you meet the family or couple for the first time, you offer them as much information as possible about the home; Both good and bad. By being completely open with the prospective homebuyer about the house, they will immediately fear less and trust more.
