Looking at the listing via MRED there will be instructions for how to schedule a showing. In most cases this will be via Showing Assist. Click on the button in the MLS which says Showing Assist. You will be prompted to choose a date and a time and fill out your information. You will either be given showing instructions or the agent will be notified and contact you when they know if you are confirmed or not. If there is not an option to use Showing Assist, you should reach out to the agent via the instructions on the MLS to schedule.

Congrats!!! A couple days before the closing you will need to contact the listing agent and set up the final walk-through. Typically, the best time to do this is right before the closing. So if the closing is at 10am, set it up for 9:30am and then drive over to the title company. At the final walk-through you make sure the seller has cleaned out the property and everything looks good. Flush some toilets, open and close a few windows, etc. Here are some examples of situations I’ve run into: The seller took the refrigerator and replaced it with a low quality one. At the closing table, the seller had to give the buyer a credit of $5000. The seller left the property SUPER dirty and had to credit the buyer $250 to clean it up. The seller took an expensive light fixture. The closing was delayed until the next day after the seller reinstalled the fixture and my clients had a second walkthrough. CAUTION! I once told a client that I would do the final walk-through for them as they were out of town.  I thought everything looked great. Two days later my clients moved in and there was a huge stain on the carpet. They blamed me and I ended up having to buy them a new carpet for $900! The moral of the story is don’t do a final walk-through without your client present and make sure to have a keen eye for anything that looks odd. This is the last opportunity to negotiate at the closing table.

When meeting a potential seller for a listing appointment, you will want to create a CMA- A comparative market analysis.   In Real Estate, pricing is an art of comparing apples to apples.  There is a great tool on the MLS called “Cloud CMA" where you can find similar properties that have sold, under contract and currently on the market to help your client successfully price the home to sell. You will be able to access CloudCMA once you are inside your MRED account.

Pre Listing Appointment Prepare a CMA using Cloud CMA – Click here for a video on CMA . Prepare your documents for the seller in dotloop – Click here for a video on seller docs in dotloop . Listing Appointment Be sure to start with a tour of the property. Take notes and ask questions. Now is a great time to feel out the seller and find out their motivation for selling. After your walkthrough sit down and go over the process and set expectations with your client. Explain how you will work for them and what benefit you bring to the table. Now is the time to talk commission. Now it is time to talk about pricing. First ask if they have a price in mind so you know what you are working with. If they refuse to give a price, give your estimated value and use the CMA to explain it. Bring out your laptop or have them use theirs so you can go over the paperwork on dotloop and have them sign it. Go through each piece and explain. Make sure they know to ask you questions as you go through it. If you are not going to list on the MLS within 24 hours of the agreement, get the MLS Listing Exemption form signed. It is located in Kale Realty Documents in dotloop. Next Steps: Secure Photography. Listing on MLS Showings Make sure that you have communication with your client to ensure they are always aware of showings coming up if they are living in the home. If the home is vacant you may find it easier to use the showing service on the MLS to let fellow agents schedule via the MLS. The home should be clean and ready to be shown. Set the expectation with your seller if the property is not vacant. Your seller should never be at the showing. Try not to overlap showings.
