| He may be your best friend, but he’s awfully ‘judgey’ of strangers and having him under foot will not help sell your home! – “Keeping pets out-doors avoids distractions during showings.” |
According to Experts, Follow “Sellers’ Etiquette”
It will help speed sale of a home
Selling a home is a serious and sometimes complex undertaking. It involves some rules of etiquette as well as obligations. Although your Realtor is responsible for providing a motivated, financially qualified purchaser, some important decisions rest with you, the property owner.
There is no rulebook of selling etiquette, yet the marketing process moves along more smoothly when certain accommodations are made. For example, owners who maintain their home in near-perfect order on a daily basis ensure that buyers, due to poor condition, will not reject their home.
Access to the home on short notice makes a difference to highly motivated purchasers who must make a fast decision. Keeping pets out-doors avoids distractions during showings. Prospects also prefer to see homes without the owners present. Ask your Realtor how to offer a “buyer-friendly” home.
Property owners should also consider two other obligations. First, honor your commitment to sell by considering all offers seriously, no matter how unsuitable they may seem at first glance. Ask your Realtor to explain both the positives and negatives of every offer.
Finally, give a prompt answer to all offers. Do the math, decide what is acceptable, and know your selling limits before you receive any offers. This allows you to make a more objective assessment when offers are received and avoids losing an acceptable offer because of indecision. – From The Placer County Association of Realtors for the Press Tribune, 2003
