Property Showing Request for Customers

If I'm not already working for you officially in writing, in my world,  you are considered a customer, not a client.  What's the difference?  A client is someone who has officially signed a in writing, listing or buyer representation agreement.   A "customer" is not an official client.  Some "customers" may be already working with another real estate agent and some may not...

Working with another Agent:

If you are already working with another agent, your agent is responsible for showing you any home you want to see.  If your agent is not available, it's up to your agent to team up with and sometimes even pay, out of pocket,  another agent show you any property you want to see, on your agent's behalf.  Because of the 2024 nationwide, National Association of Realtor lawsuit settlement, your agent is the person that is responsible to show or make accommodations for you to see property.    There are even showing services your agent can hire to help you see properties that they are unable to show you, like Showmi.  Here's a link you can share with your agent if they are unfamiliar with this service.  It's understandable that you may not want to bother your agent and go directly to the listing agent to show you the home instead, but because of the 2024 nationwide, NAR lawsuit settlement, it's up to your agent, to be your representative and help you facilitate showings, not you directly.  

Not working with another Agent:

Customers, not already working with another agent, wanting to view homes, that I am representing the seller, must also become verified before viewing the home.  

This does not mean I'll be asking you to sign a buyer representation agreement.  I will not be doing that, unless you are wanting to view multiple homes, including homes that I am not representing the seller.

Please email me the following prior to the requested showing event:

Requested items needed:

1. Mortgage approval, pre-approval or pre-qualification letter.  If you still need this, you can get it here.

2. If using cash, a proof of funds letter from your bank.  For an explanation of what a POF is, please click here.

3. Copy of each identification for all customers that will be viewing the home, over the age of 18.

4. Customers must sign this disclosure form: Disclosure to Unrepresented Buyer.

5. Requested day and arrival time of the showing event.  Please, kindly give me a 24 hour notice.  If it's less than a 24 hour notice, I'll try to make accommodations.

6. Please identify the property address of the home you're interested in viewing.  

Please email items to:  dan@hiredan.com
If you have any questions or would like to talk about the home, please feel free to call or text me directly at: 512-768-6678.

Once you have become verified, I'll be happy to show you any home, that I am representing.

Open Houses vs. a Private Showing

Anyone can visit an open house without being verified, but some open houses still may require copies of identifications.  For more information about this, please see this page or search on google about the National Association of Realtors (NAR), nationwide lawsuit settlement of 2024.
