CHAPTER 10 Showing Your Home our Home
How will your home or property be shown to potential buyers?
It is up to you as a home seller to determine how and when buyers will have access to view your home and property. Here are some of the more common ways buyers and realtors view properties: - Brokers Tour: Allows local realtors to view properties on a day set aside for agents to preview properties for their clients. - Open House: Allows the public to view properties on a given day hosted by a realtor usually on the weekend for a few hours for both Saturday & Sunday. - Private Showings: Appointments are made for a realtor and their client for a private showing of the home.
Safety during showings
Sellers should take steps to protect their personal property and to make the home as safe as possible for showings. Items such as medications, valuables, money and weapons should not be left out while the home is on the market. Items should not be left on the ground to eliminate possible trip hazards. Sellers typically are not home when buyers and or agents visit but if you will be home during a private showing it is advised that you never be home alone with the only the buyer, the agent should be accompanying them for the showings.
Keep the home clean during showings.
