Mastering the Real Estate Game: Unleashing the Power of Open Houses to Uncover Your Dream Property and Filter Out What Doesn't Fit Your Style!
When it comes to living and working abroad, many people are hesitant to take the leap.
However, for coaches, the shift to an online world has opened up new opportunities to work with clients from all corners of the globe. It is just a matter of the right mindset because all the rest you need is an internet connection and a laptop.?
But maybe you feel it is not the right time to move abroad and you’ve outgrown the house you’re in and find out you qualify for a mortgage that will let you upsize. Or, your kids have flown the nest and you’re ready to sell the family home and downsize – or, you may be a first time home-buyer and need help deciding what you want. Whatever the reason for purchasing a home, it’s important that you get a feel for what you want so you don’t spin your wheels and waste time – or end up with something you didn’t really want.
Open Houses provide a taste of what you want
They provide a taste of what your lifestyle would be if you decide to buy something similar. Unless the seller still lives in the house the realtor will often stage the homes with furniture and design touches to help you visualize living there.
Attending open houses provide information that will be useful to you when you make a final decision. You’ll get to explore other neighborhoods, check out schools or amenities you’re interested in and explore the various floor plans available.
If you’re in the market for a fixer-upper, you’ll want to visit foreclosed or short-sale home listings. Be aware that these homes usually need investments of remodeling, fixing existing problems or replacing appliances. If you have the time, energy and money to invest in a fixer-upper, it can be a great investment.
The purpose of an open house is to let people see what’s available in a particular neighborhood and entertain the idea of purchasing. But, even though you may not be looking for a home at this particular time, agents welcome those who are just looking.
Always remain loyal to your own agent. When you attend an open house and sign in, indicate that you already have an agent you’re working with. The agent at the open house will appreciate knowing that information and won’t attempt to solicit you to become his or her client.
You should know the etiquette of attending open houses before you begin your search. For example, you should always sign-in and indicate whether you’re already working with a realtor or not. When arriving at the open house, feel free to enter without ringing the doorbell or knocking, but always try to meet the agent.
Some will take you through the house and show you special features while others will simply let you pick up a flyer and let you see the home on a self-guided tour.
If someone is still living in the home, respect their belongings. It’s not okay to open medicine cabinets and closets and rifle through their things.
Always ask the agent if it’s alright to look inside a closed door.
And enjoy the visit.
The decision to live and work online in a foreign country is not one to be taken lightly, but for coaches, it can be a game-changer.
With the power of technology, coaches can work with clients from all over the world and expand their horizons in ways they never thought possible.
While there may be challenges to adapting to a new culture and lifestyle, the rewards are vast, including a wider client base, new experiences, and personal growth.
For the coach who is willing to take the leap, the online world offers endless possibilities for success and fulfillment.
