Setting showing times

J. Andrew English J. Andrew English

Sellers, do not limit your showings unless you have absolutely have to. Every situation is unique and there are instances when you just can’t help not being available. However, do not set certain days and certain times during those specified days that the property can be shown. I see this all the time and the first thing that comes to mind is that the house won’t sell.

An example of what not to do:

Private Remarks: **Home can only be shown Tuesday and Thursday, 2-5pm, Owner must be present**

A much better way to accomplish the above showing situation would be something that gets the buyer and/or Realtor® to call you directly. Then, once you have them on the phone, suggest the time that works for you best first. However, understand, you may have to adjust your schedule. At the very least, encourage the phone call. This will at least give you the opportunity to work with the agent or buyer on the showing. If you discourage showings by setting very limited showing access, the home most likely will not sell.

Try to make your home the easiest home to show in the subdivision.
