Showings Begin

Now we have your first showings scheduled, hooray!

Here are a few things to keep in mind before every showing:

• Have your home look just like it did for the photographs (ie. clean, all dishes put away, floors free of dog hair, etc)

• Put all toilet seat lids down

• Open all curtains/blinds

• Turn on all lights before you leave for a showing

• Hide any valuables such as jewelry, prescription medications, etc or, better yet, take them with you

• Hide all bills with your name on them as we prefer potential buyers to not know who you are.

• Turn off alarm systems and lock all doors

• The buyer’s Realtor will use the lockbox key to enter/exit and is supposed to turn off all lights and lock the door when they leave, unless it is a weekend; then, we prefer to leave the lights on for the day.

• Showings usually last 30-60 minutes, however, in case clients come early we like to have you out 15 minutes before the showing is scheduled to start and stay out for at least 60 minutes in case the buyer is running late or the showing goes long (that’s a good thing and usually means they like your home!). Therefore, plan to be gone for about one hour for each showing.

• It is best to take your pets with you. 

• Please leave any brochures/MLS listing sheets in your foyer or on the kitchen counter for showings.

• After the showing, the buyer’s Realtor will automatically get an email asking for feedback. Generally only about 30% of Realtors fill it out. If they do, we will send you a copy of any feedback immediately.
