Showing Your Home

Showing your home can be the easiest part of selling it. Little questions that aren’t answered in the flyer always pop up when a buyer walks through. Often, these questions go unanswered because the seller isn’t around. Since you’ll be showing your own home, you’ll have the opportunity to answer these questions, and as you do so you’ll establish a rapport between yourself and the buyer. You don’t have to become best friends, but remember, you could soon be negotiating with the buyer. The rapport you establish up front will help you during this process.

When a buyer calls to see your home, make sure they’re genuinely interested in purchasing it. In a friendly and curious manner, ask them where they live and if they plan to sell the home they currently live in, and ask them why they chose your house. These subtle questions can help weed out nosy lookers. When showing your home, always stay with the buyers. If showing a couple, keep both of them with you. You want to answer any questions in front of both of them.

As a precaution, make sure you put away all valuables. If you have pets, it’s best if they’re outside or in a place where they will not be a distraction to the buyer. If you have cats, mention it to buyers before they come in. Some people are highly allergic to cats.
