I've been asked recently whether or not it is a good idea to be present during a home showing of your own property. The answer to this question is a definitive 'NO', but allow me to tell you why this is so.

Let Your Agent Show Your Home to Buyers
  • Allow your agent to show the home on your behalf.  
    • You want buyers to feel as if it is already their property. If you answer the front door and invite them inside, they will undoubtedly feel very uncomfortable. This initial uneasiness could spoil a sale from the beginning. 
  • Real estate agents are equipped to sell your property.  
    • A buyer's agent is aware of the seller's interests and is more readily prepared to display those features of the house that serve as major selling points.  
    • Home owners sometimes believe that they can sell their home better than a real estate agent, but this is not true. Agents are professionally trained salespeople. 
    •  Also, home buyers trust their agents, not you.
  • You need a professional liaison between yourself and the buyer's agent. 
    • Real estate agents know how to communicate with one another in an efficient, effective manner.
