If you have an agent to help you, then you’ll be periodically called to exit the home while he or she gives a tour of your house to an interested party. You’ll need to get the pets out of the house, or lock them up, and keep everything in tip top shape for unexpected calls that give you mere minutes to vacate the property.
If you are following the For Sale By Owner method, then you’ll need to schedule Open Houses on the weekends or evenings so that you can usher in a flurry of interested buyers without having to constantly be giving tours of your home on a daily basis.
If you have a FSBO sign in your yard, expect some people who aren’t familiar with the etiquette of buying a house to just walk up to your door and ask for a tour out of the blue. You can either give them a notice of an upcoming open house, or cave in and show them around – but make sure the house is ready for a showing!
During your open house, you may have more buyers than you can give a tour to all showing up at once. Make sure you remove anything valuable so that it doesn’t go missing while one buyer is in your bedroom and you’re busy showing other buyers the garage.
Make sure you know the answers to questions people may have, but if you get hit with one you don’t know, don’t lie. Tell them you’ll take their number and get back to them with the answer. They’ll appreciate your honesty.
See you tomorrow.
