WHAT TO EXPCT DURING SHOWINGS

---

A tidy home conveys a sense of well-maintained property and is more welcoming. Clear the area and get rid of personal belongings.

Make sure the house is well-lit, get rid of strong aromas like food or dogs, and add fresh flowers.

Make an effort to meet the buyer's schedule. The more availability you have, the more likely it is that a prospective buyer will come see your house.

In order to give prospective buyers the freedom to explore and ask the buyer's agent questions without feeling pressed, it is usually better to leave the house during showings.

Print fliers or brochures that emphasize the property's strongest features, recent improvements, and specifics like the asking price, square footage, and local attractions.

Use this feedback to improve your property and adjust list price if needed.

Find out if the offer is subject to financing. A buyer who has already been pre-approved for a loan is a better prospect than one who is still looking for a lender.

Contingencies like house inspections, appraisals, or the sale of the buyer's existing residence may be included in offers. These may have an impact on the deal's chances of closing.

If the buyer makes a lower offer than you have requested, you can respond with the amount you want.

You may bargain over things like the closing date, repair requests, and appliance inclusion in addition to the price.

When you receive more than one offer, thoroughly compare them. If the buyer is not financially stable or if the highest offer has conditions, it may not necessarily be the best one.

To make sure there aren't any serious problems, the buyer will probably ask for a house inspection. To make sure the worth of the property matches the sale price, they could also arrange an appraisal.

If there are any problems found during the inspection, the buyer might ask for repairs or a price reduction. It will be up to you as the seller to determine whether to accept these requests, negotiate, or even pull out of the transaction.

The closing date is determined following discussions and inspections. At this point, you get paid for the house and the buyer receives title to the property.
