Selling your home? You don't have to host the buyers

It is natural to want to stay for a showing and help introduce the home you know best. But your presence can make buyers feel like guests in your house.

What changes when you stay

• Buyers may hesitate to inspect the home properly, opening closets or testing taps.
• They may hold back honest feedback, the kind that is most useful to you.
• Casual conversation can reveal more about your selling priorities than intended: how soon you need to sell, or how attached you are.

What to do instead

Leave about fifteen minutes early, enjoy a coffee nearby, and let your agent handle the showing. Buyers can take their time, and your agent can gather more direct feedback to bring back to you.
