| What's
involved with showing your home? |
| |
| •
Appointments |
•
Realtors will call to request an appointment
or if your agent prefers,
appointments will be made by them. |
| |
| •
Showings |
| •
Normally Realtors try to allow seller several
hours or 24 hours notice to show their home. However, sometimes
it is necessary to show immediately. Discuss with your Realtor what your
needs are and your work
schedule. If an appointment is canceled you will be notified. |
| |
| •
Pets |
| •
If you have pets, make sure your agent knows
and that they are kenneled. |
| |
| •
If you cannot be reached |
•
Realtors will make every attempt to reach you.
Please make sure you provide cell phone numbers, and
if
you leave town, a number where you can be reached. |
| |
| •
The Showing |
| •
When the house is shown, you will be asked to leave. Buyers sometimes feel
uncomfortable with sellers present
and your agent will relay all positive or negative comments to you. |
| |
| •
Drive-by buyers |
| •
If someone stops by without an agent or asks to talk with you about your
property, ask them to call your Realtor
for information and an appointment. |
