Should I be home during showings?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
No. Buyers feel uncomfortable discussing a home honestly when the owner is present. They may rush through and miss key features. Leave the home during all showings and open houses. If that is not possible, stay in one room out of the way and avoid conversation.
Why It Matters
Buyers need privacy to talk openly about what they like and dislike. Your absence helps them feel free to fall in love with your home.
