Into the Weekend 03.14.25

I’m not sure how or why his parents named him Bad Bunny, but there are some things in the world that just can’t be explained.

Same thing with lockboxes. I know it’s hard to believe, but some sellers’ agents don’t even show up. They put a lockbox (a small locked compartment with a key inside) on the door to their listing, and the buyer and their agent have to get in on their own (often, with difficulty depending on the lock), and we have to navigate the property without any assistance.

Without the seller’s agent present, there’s no lighting, no freshening up, no highlighting the property’s attributes, no questions answered. Most of all, there’s obviously no pre-check to make sure all is in order (did the housekeeper leave out the mop? Is the temperature at freezing levels? Are the toilet seats all down? Is your kid’s bong appropriately stashed away?).

This all happens while the seller’s agent is either working out at a Zumba class, playing at their weekly Mahjong game, or meeting with the party planner for their daughter’s wedding. 

And the seller is ok paying a commission for this nonsense? 

When you enlist me and my team to sell your home, no lockboxes are allowed. We show up - way ahead of the showing to ensure that your home shows its best. We light, we stage, we tidy up. When the buyer arrives with their agent, we’re prepared to answer questions, convey how special the neighborhood is, highlight the home’s attributes, downplay its shortcomings, , and……well, SELL THE HELL OUT OF IT.

Even Bad Bunny would appreciate this.

Have a great weekend!

Best,

Brad
