Should Sellers Be Present When Buyers Are Looking at Their Home?

Buying a home? Click here to perform a full home search Selling a home? Click here for a FREE Home Value Report Today we are answering one of the questions we get asked all the time by home sellers. The question is, “Should I be present when my home is being shown by an agent?” The short answer to this question is no, you shouldn’t. When you’re showing your home to a potential buyer, you want them to feel as comfortable as possible. If you’re there during the showing, it creates what we call “showing resistance.” This results in buyers being uncomfortable in the property, and not asking any questions or making any comments because they don’t want to insult your home. If you are there while buyers are viewing your home and they do make a comment, you’re going to have a tendency to want to argue or combat the comment. That’s not going to do you any good because all it’s going to do is drive away buyers and lose offers. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We’d love to hear from you!
