How I Keep You Updated When Selling Your Home
Because communication shouldn’t disappear after the sign goes up.
Too many times I sit in living rooms with sellers who tell me the same story...they had a tough time with communication from their last agent.
And honestly, I think that’s part of why real estate gets the reputation it does.
An agent can be knowledgeable and experienced, but without good communication, it turns into a miserable experience fast.
That’s not how I do business.
When you work with me, you’ll never have to wonder what’s happening with your home or where things stand. Here’s exactly how I keep you informed and confident throughout the entire process.
1. Weekly Seller Report
Once a week, you’ll get a clear snapshot of your home’s performance...what’s happening online, how many people are seeing it, and what we’re doing next.
Example:
Subject: Weekly Update: Your Home at [Address]
-
MLS Views: 253 (up 18% from last week)
-
Zillow Saves: 11 (steady)
-
Showings: 3 total (2 private, 1 open house)
-
Buyer Feedback: “Loved the kitchen but wanted a bigger yard.”
-
Competition: 2 new listings nearby; one went pending at $X.
-
Next Steps: Launching new social ad + open house Saturday 12–3 PM.
No guessing. Just the facts...and the plan moving forward.
2. Real Feedback, Not Filtered Feedback
You’ll get the real comments from buyers and agents...not a watered-down version. That includes the compliments and the critiques. Because when we know what buyers are thinking, we can adjust and move strategically.
3. Tracking the Competition
Each week, I check what’s going on around your property...new listings, price changes, and homes that go under contract.
This helps us stay one step ahead instead of falling behind the market.
4. Marketing and Exposure
You’ll see what’s working online...which ads or videos are performing, what’s getting the most clicks, and where the momentum is coming from.
If something needs to shift, we’ll talk about it and adjust. Staying visible is key in today’s market.
5. The “Next Steps” Plan
Every update ends with what we’re doing next. That could be hosting another open house, refreshing listing photos, adjusting positioning, or targeting new buyers.
There’s always a plan in motion...and you’ll always know what it is.
6. Communication That Fits You
Some clients like a detailed email. Others prefer a quick text or voice message. Some want a phone call to talk it through.
These updates might come in the form of an email, text message, voice message, or a quick call...whatever works best for you.
Before we list your home, we’ll decide together how you want to stay updated and how often you want to hear from me.
7. Full Transparency
Even if the update isn’t “exciting,” you’ll still get it. That’s part of how I work...because consistent, honest communication builds trust and keeps us aligned on the strategy.
When your home is on the market, silence isn’t an option.
You’ll always know:
-
What’s happening.
-
Why it’s happening.
-
What we’re doing next.
That’s how I run every listing...proactive, transparent, and focused on results.
