5 Creative Ways to Encourage People to List in a Low Inventory Market
It’s tough to land listings in any market, but when you’re smack dab in the middle of a market with low inventory, they’re like lassoing
There’s rarely a holiday that real estate agents are able to take time off. It’s not uncommon for them to answer the call of duty on Thanksgiving or Christmas, so it wouldn’t be surprising if elaborate Valentine’s Day plans are difficult for them to pull off.
But if your significant other is an agent, that doesn’t mean they don’t love you, or want to spend time with you! They might just need you to understand and be flexible about where and when to squeeze in a memorable date.
And it’ll surely be memorable if you use one of these 8 creative places to sneak in a quick date with the agent in your life on Valentine’s Day, by using places they might need to be that day anyway:
Agents need to keep their car looking as clean and presentable as possible, so there’s always a chance they could use a good car wash! Set a time to meet your mate at a local drive-through one, and use the dark, private, self-propelled ride for some smooching.
Pro tip: Spring for the most upgraded package they have to make sure you get the most time and bang for your buck in the impromptu tunnel of love.
It’s unacceptable for agents to use a seller’s house as a place for a romantic date, but if there’s an exception to the rule, you could make an argument for HUD-owned homes as the perfect place for a candlelight dinner, since there’s typically no power!
And it might even feel like you’re eating at a restaurant together, if there are enough squatters eating in various corners of the room you decide to use.
If you’re in love with a rural agent, or one who’s working with buyers who want to build their dream home from the ground up, there’s a good chance they’ll need to show some raw land.
Meet your sweetheart in the middle of one of those plots of land with a picnic basket and a blanket, and see what develops between you two on the future site of a development.
Agents do so much driving in a day, there’s a good chance your beloved will need to make a pit stop for some fuel. Make the most of that downtime by meeting yours inside the quickie mart for a quick…
…bite to eat!
Agents often have to get extra keys made when they take a listing, so there’s a chance the agent in your life might need to visit the local locksmith or hardware store to get some made.
If your relationship is on the new side, and you’re ready to take it to a new level, meet them there and surprise them by getting an extra key made for your place, so they can let themselves into your home after a long day of letting clients into other peoples’ homes.
If you like buffets, you’re gonna love this idea! Suggest tagging along with them to any local broker open houses that may be held that day. The listing agents often cater them with some good food, and each one has their go-to spread, so you’re bound to be in for a wide array of options. Way better than just going out to eat at one restaurant if you think about it!
Last but not least, don’t overlook just meeting them at their office. Most offices are like ghost towns with agents either out on appointments, or just opting to work from home!
