Ever shopped in a store where the employees clearly work on commission and almost seem to lurk in the background, watching your every move, while you shop?
This scenario doesn't really put you in the buying mood, does it?
It can be uncomfortable exploring a home when you also feel like you're being watched. Making buyers feel comfortable when looking for a home is absolutely essential. Buyers tend to have little interest in asking you questions about your property because the answers you provide will certainly be biased in some way. This is why you have hired a real estate agent to represent you and your home. Who better than a qualified professional to be the spokesperson for your home.
You carefully selected and hired a Realtor® to sell your house - now is the time to step back and let him or her do just that!

Very good advice. A seller sitting there watching as the potential buyer goes through is totally intimidating to the buyer.
Lisa - This has long been a sticking point of mine. I always tell my sellers to vacate the home whenever there are showings scheduled. I've had buyers who refuse to view houses where the owners refuse to leave during the showing. Obviously if there are extenuating circumstances, ie. an elderly resident with mobility issues, that's a different story but I've been to showings where the owners are sitting in the living room watching Seinfeld. Nice. Needless to say we didn't put an offer in on that one. Can't see it properly, not interested.Take care.Jerry
