One Resolution You Can Easily Stick With To Improve Your Real Estate Business
Raise your hand if you’ve at least mentally made a resolution to sell more houses in the coming year. Every year is a clean slate
Every season has upsides and downsides when you’re a real estate agent showing buyers houses.
For instance, the temperature and blooming landscapes in spring can be beautiful, but it can also be a cold, rainy, muddy mess at times. And of course winter can be trying when it’s freezing out, and there’s snow and ice on the roads and walkways.
So, while it can be great to have those extra hours of sunlight to show houses during the summer, as you can imagine, the heat of summer can create some less-than-ideal situations!
Here are 4 things about showing houses during a heat wave that make real estate agents wish the winter would hurry up and get here:
Humidity often goes hand in hand with a heat wave, so agents with any amount of hair have to wave farewell to their signature hairstyle and try to be seen as a rockstar agent, while looking like an 80’s rockstar!
There’s no way to look cool, calm, and collected when you have sweat dripping down your face while talking to a client. Wiping them away with your bare hand or sleeve is poor form to do in front of them, so you gotta just try to ignore it and hope a client doesn’t notice.
In order for agents to get into most houses, they use a device which unlocks a “lockbox” which securely holds the keys to the house. Many of them have metal parts that heat up like a cast iron skillet sitting in the direct sun, making an agent actually yearn for the days of winter when you have to deal with lockboxes that are completely frozen solid and can’t be opened at all.
Most houses agents show have the heat on when it’s cold out, except for the occasional abandoned, bank-owned homes for sale. But not everyone has the luxury of central air conditioning… or even window units! The one benefit to showing one without AC is that it can make the sun beating down on you feel refreshing when you’re done looking at the house.
