They were not interested in my home. Why was it shown?


Who is looking at my home today?

What do you know about these potential buyers?

Why did potential buyers look at my home when my did not suit their needs?


These are commom questions we receive from our sellers when it comes to the showing of their home.


What does The Wells Team do differently?


When we are first contacted by a buyer's agent we ask:



  • Why this home?

  • What is your client looking for in a home?

  • Are you familiar with the neighborhood?

We then tell the buyers agent the attributes on the home, the neighborhood, and the local area. If the particular listing is in our neighborhood we discuss homeowner's dues, amenities, and any other questions they might have.


Even if we provide all of the information it might not guarantee results.


The buyer's agent is looking out for the best interest of their client. They can become hesitant to give too much information.


There are buyers who do not have an exact idea on the type of home they wish to purchase. These buyers have not purchased a home in many years. They are entering a different stage in life which makes their home priorities different. In other words they need to see what is available.


Ultimately the buyer's agent is the one expending all of the energy on behalf of his or her clients. It is in their best interest to do the necessary research on homes before they "waste their time" showing homes that do not fit their criteria.


As for our sellers: When we have the chance to show your property we need to do so. It can be inconvenient, frustrating, and might not give you the results you desire. However one thing is for certain: If we do not show your home then we know it will not sell.


If you are looking for property in the North Atlanta area, Lake Lanier, or the Norton Georgia Mountains, give us a call. We are The Wells Team of The Norton Agency.
