I was speaking with one of my friends the other day, who happens to be a highly successful real estate agent, and he mentioned to me about just how critical it is to have a properly functioning doorbell when preparing your house or condominium for sale. In fact, a properly functioning door chime is one of the top punch list items that my friend mentions to his clients when getting ready to sell their homes. Imagine what a poor impression it would create at a showing or a real estate open house to ring the doorbell and not have it work! He makes sure to refer any of his clients over to Doorbells Direct for their replacement doorbells. If timing is a concern and installation needs to be done quickly, consider a wireless doorbell, which can literally be installed in under five minutes. Furthermore, while critical, he mentioned that the replacement of a doorbell is probably the least expensive punch list item on his customer’s “to do” lists, as the other items, such as landscaping, home staging, painting, and plumbing work can run into the thousands of dollars, while a new doorbell can often be purchased for a fraction of that cost, and is just as important as the more expensive items.
