If you’re living in the home, the showings can feel invasive, and then on top of that, people are rude. Last minute requests, time changes, cancellations, and even no shows. Sometimes I get people with smelly feet, show up juggling ten coffees and a chihuahua in a bag, or have their loudmouth uncle with them who hates your wallpaper. They all might buy your house, so let’s just get through it together.
Vacant homes are easier to show and sell but there are plenty of annoying elements as well. Lights get left on, heat or AC gets adjusted, and despite signs, notes, and instructions everywhere, not everyone follows my rules. Is it an inconvenience? Yes. Is it preventable? Not entirely. Itโs just part of the process.
Every showing is an opportunity, and the more access you allow, and the more you say #namaste ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ and just relax, the more opportunities you create. Thatโs what actually gets homes sold. Limiting access because itโs annoying might make your day easier, but it usually makes your sale harder.
Weโre trading a little inconvenience now for a successful sale. And that trade is always worth it!
