CHAPTER 11 Handling Showings OK – now that we have your home on the market, let’s move forward and get it SOLD! It is important to make your home as easy to show as possible. If your home is vacant this will obviously be easy since buyers can go without notice and you don’t have to prep for every showing. If your home is occupied, providing buyers with a hassle-free showing process will be designed to fit your lifestyle as much as possible.
Keep in mind that when buyers are out looking at properties, they may be viewing several homes that particular day. That’s because most buyers view homes in “batches” (3 today in your area and 4 tomorrow in another area). If they are asking to view your home at a particular time it usually means that they will be in your area within that timeframe of
an hour. If you do not allow your home to be one of the properties viewed, it may be eliminated from their list.
This is why I always recommend that although it may be inconvenient, you should allow your home to be viewed (and be prepped for viewings) whenever possible and within reason.
