Conducting property visits isn't just about opening the door.
The way a showing is handled can directly impact buyer interest, offers, and ultimately the sale of your property 👇
Here are 7 things to do (and not do) when conducting visits
1️⃣ Get the home visit-ready
Open the blinds, turn on the lights, adjust the temperature, and do a final quick cleanup.
2️⃣ Secure valuables and private information
Put away jewelry, cash, medications, spare keys, personal documents, and sensitive information.
3️⃣ Take care of your pets
Whenever possible, remove pets from the property during visits.
4️⃣ Be flexible with showing times
The easier your property is to visit, the more buyers will see it.
5️⃣ Don't stay in the house
Buyers need space to explore and imagine themselves living there.
6️⃣ Don't hide the property's flaws
Be transparent about known issues.
7️⃣ Don't negotiate on the spot
Avoid discussing price or reacting emotionally during a visit.
💡 The reality:
A successful visit is a balance between preparation and restraint. Create a welcoming environment, then step back and let buyers experience the property for themselves.
If you're preparing to sell and want guidance on how to maximize your property's appeal during showings, I'd be happy to help.
