INSPECTIONS AT YOUR HOME

  • Should you stay at home during inspections?
  • It's often preferable that you don't. Nothing personal but buyers tend to feel less like intruders when owners aren't around, besides, you can trust your agent to best emphasise the features of your home.
  • If you decide to stay, remove distractions by turning off the television and radio and keeping pets and children well out of the way.
  • Be courteous but don't force conversation on potential buyers and don't apologise for the appearance or condition of your home.
  • Leave the negotiations to your agent and certainly don't ever allow an inspection to take place without your agent.
