advice for home sellers

Why you should leave home showings up to the realtors

Are you curious to know why your agent has recommended that you not be present when buyers come through your home?  After all, no one knows and loves your home like you do.  Here are the 5 reasons why you want to leave during  home showings.

  1. Buyers want to feel free to roam around your home, explore closet space and may not feel comfortable doing so if you are there.
  2. Buyers may want to talk freely to their agent about likes and dislikes of your home, and need privacy to do so.
  3. You may unintentionally say the wrong thing to a buyer.  For example, you may be very proud that you did your own bathroom renovation.  The buyer may be concerned that you didn’t hire a professional.
  4. Buyers may feel that they are inconveniencing you if you are present and may rush through your home.
  5. Buying a home is an emotional purchase.  You don’t want the only thing that the buyer remembers about your home is that you were present.

There you have it.  Your agent is recommending that you leave for home showings for good reason.  It’s wise to make arrangements to be elsewhere when buyers are viewing your home.  I would be happy to help you with any of you real estate needs.  Please reach me here
