Sellers' Resources

7 - When Buyers Visit

You've prepped the house, your agent has listed it, and you've both marketed it. Now you're getting calls from people who want to view it in person! Here are some things you should do when buyers come to visit.

Make sure the house is clean, comfortable and inviting, and then find somewhere else to go. It's important to give buyers their space, even if that means simply stepping over to the neighbor's house for a moment.

Lingering owners can make buyers uncomfortable, and the buyers may rush their visit as a result. As the seller, that's the last thing you want.

You want buyers to take their time walking through your house so they can see everything that's good about it. You want them to see all the hard work you did from Part 3 of this guide, right?

Your agent can answer any questions the buyers may have. That's part of their job, and chances are they'll be very good at it! They can also point out the house's high points, even if the buyers don't ask about them.
