Think about shopping in a store where employees work on commission and seem to hover nearby, watching your every move. It doesn’t exactly put you in the buying mood, does it?
The same thing happens during a home showing. Buyers need space to explore, imagine themselves living there, and feel comfortable. When the homeowner is present, it can feel awkward, like they’re being watched, which often prevents buyers from fully opening up and asking questions.
Buyers also tend to avoid asking sellers questions because they expect the answers to be biased. That’s precisely why you hired a real estate professional.
You carefully selected a Realtor® to represent both you and your home. A qualified agent knows how to highlight your home’s best features, answer buyer questions objectively, and guide the conversation toward a successful sale.
Now is the time to step back, trust the process, and let your agent do what they do best: sell your home.
