I was told by a TV sales rep that one reason new homes are shown to newcomers and preview people is that it's to give them an idea of the various home series (villas, ranch/cottage, designer, premier) and floor plans. Then, after narrowing down the type/price of home, a more serious buyer is looking at the resale listings.
With 300+ lifestyle preview people/couples here at any given time, it would be a madhouse for sellers if TV sales reps were to set up showings for all the lookers here who aren't ready yet or aren't serious about buying yet.
I know when we've listed our past homes for sale, it is maddening to get it all ready and perfected for showings when you're living in it, and have to take the pets away during the showings. Sellers want serious buyers coming for showings, and all the lifestyle preview people here by the dozens shouldn't go traipsing thru pre-owned sellers' homes when they're not remotely ready to buy.
