Property inspectionsWhen a property is being sold through Lawyers Real Estate, potential purchasers are assisted by a person who has full authority, who knows the property and the neighbourhood better than anyone else, and who can answer all of their questions on the spot - the vendor.
Why vendor inspections are bestEstate agents confirm itOne of the best kept secrets in real estate is the fact that estate agents are a hindrance to the sale process, and that the vendor is the best person to show potential purchasers through a property. But don't just take our word for it. Ian Reid is one of Melbourne's best known, high-profile estate agents. Here's what Ian Reid wrote about the benefits of vendor inspections:"Industry feedback tells us that there’s a better way to sell real estate. The most common complaints we receive from buyers are that the agents don’t really know the properties they’re supposed to be selling, and that they make it so difficult to organise inspections. They’re so hard to reach in the first place, and then all they want you to do is attend an Open for Inspection, at a time that suits THEM! And from vendors, we hear constant complaints that agents don’t seem to be showing their homes properly (standing at the front door taking names and phone numbers is hardly showing a home’s benefits off, is it!) and they’re only too eager to recommend another home “just around the corner”. For a vendor who’s invested considerable money in attracting buyers to their home in the first place, that can be a very upsetting outcome."and "When you engage a normal estate agent and when a buyer says he’s not sure about your home, the agent says, “that’s ok, I’ve got another one just around the corner. Let’s go and have a look at that.” (And whose marketing money got that buyer into the other home? Yours!) And when a buyer is keen to look at a home but can only get there Wednesday, and that doesn’t suit the agent, what happens? The buyer’s told to come to the Open for Inspection on Saturday, or miss out. (That’s if the agent returns the buyer’s call!) ...YOU are never too busy to show a potential buyer through your home! You want to show buyers through. YOU are not going to take them up the street or around the corner to look at another property. You’re going to focus exclusively on the job at hand – pointing out all the features and benefits of buying YOUR property. And, as we say, who really knows your property better than you do? Who loves it more? Who wants to see it ‘sold’ more!?!" There are more serious problems associated with estate agent escorted inspections.

Making an appointmentHaving telephoned you, and gained a better understanding of what your property has to offer, the purchaser can take the opportunity to arrange an inspection - all during the same phone call. You can arrange a time that's mutually convenient, without having to consider the schedule of an estate agent.When buyers and sellers have direct contact with each other, property inspections become much more convenient and informal.
