Frequently Asked Questions How are showings scheduled? When your listing goes live, you will receive access to a mobile app that will allow you to review, approve or decline showing requests. Alternatively, you can confirm showing requests via text or email. If there is any difficulty with this, you can always communicate with your agent and she/he can approve or decline a showing for you. Should a seller allow overlapping showings? Yes, this creates a sense of urgency with any buyers that are viewing the property at the same time as others. Should a seller be present for showings or the inspection? No, it is best to practice to leave the property for showings and inspections as this is the buyer’s opportunity to experience the property for themselves with their chosen representatives.
Will the listing agent be attending buyer showings? It is typically not advised to have the listing agent at a showing as this is a time for the buyer to discuss the property with their trusted agent. There are some exceptions to this for very unique properties. If this is a concern, please discuss this with your agent. Who hosts an open house? An open house can be hosted by either the listing agent or an associate from the listing agent’s brokerage. An agent who is not the listing agent adds a degree of separation between the seller and buyer and can better facilitate the openness and questions that can lead to offers.
