Seller Faux Pas


I recently read an article on Realtor.com that sparked my interest and I wanted to share it with you.  It’s all about the unwritten rules sellers should take into consideration when their home is on the market. Some are funny. Some seem a little obvious....yet you’d be surprised at how many seller faux pas we see when showing homes to our clients.  And I’ll mention, these are things my team and I go over with our sellers when their homes are on the market.

The number one unwritten rule is when someone calls to show your home, make sure you’re not there while they’re looking at your home.  In blunt terms, the simple fact that you’re there could make a buyer uncomfortable and they may not even really look at your home and take it into consideration. It’s important you give them the freedom to view your home and make comments, out loud, to their agent about what they like and even dislike. This helps us as Realtors to gauge their interest level.

We often see pets in homes, and while I’m a dog-lover just like the next person, not everyone is and you need to take that into consideration. If you have to leave your pets at home, make sure they’re locked away somewhere and you let your Realtor know where they are so they can avoid that area if need be.
