Showing Luxury Homes in South Barrington Illinois-Thank you Listing Agents for A Successful and Smooth Week

South Barrington is considered to have the most luxurious homes in the Barrington Illinois area. The prices are therefore much higher than other areas and often listing agents do not use lock boxes for keys but they and the sellers prefer to accompany any showings by a buyers agent with their clients.

Relocating clients often have a limited amount of time in which to view homes as visits to the area are on weekends or they can only spare a few days at a time. For the last 2 and a half days I have been busy on a home showing marathon with relocating clients and the homes we have looked at are all in the luxury homes markets of South Barrington, Barrington Hills and Inverness Illinois. With lock boxes on the homes it is easier to show because there is a little more flexibility on time. When the listing agent wishes to accompany a showing it is only natural to want a more precise time.



I spent considerable time setting up our schedule to make sure all the Luxury Homes we viewed in South Barrington were in a logical order. I also made sure I could call the South Barrington listing agents when I was nearing their listings to give them enough time to get to the property-their time is valuable just like mine. I even knocked on an owners door to apologize that we were early but that we had to leave before viewing. The listing agent for that home had the courtesy to call and say thank you for not just abandoning the seller-thank you I appreciate your call.

My thanks and appreciation goes to all the Barrington listing agents, and their assistants for making my schedule fit around theirs, for being on time and respectful of our time as much as we were of theirs. I am especially thankful for an assistant that jumped through hoops today to fit a second showing in for a very nice Luxury Waterfront home in South Barrington Illinois on short notice just 2 hours before my client was due to hop on a plane to get back to work.

Rather than complain at the inconvenience factor of no lock-boxes it really is not that difficult. A little more effort on the part of the buyers agent to create a logical sequence for showing the homes, spending an extra minute here and there to make advisory phone calls, and keeping the client informed as you go will work wonders. The odd property we were able to get in on a lock box created a little buffer for schedule adjustments and when we had a spare 20 minutes we stopped for a quick subway.

South Barrington Illinois has some beautiful luxury homes available. I enjoyed showing my clients the homes they choose to look at but after 2 and a half days of non stop showing I am ready for a day with a little less activity!
