Arrange to be absent during showings if possible;

Whenever you leave your home, you should assume that it will be shown during your absence, even if there aren’t any showings scheduled yet. Therefore, prior to leaving your home, ensure that the lights are on and that the drapes and blinds are open

Turn on the air conditioning during the summer or heating during the winter;

If you cannot be absent, be inconspicuous. Do not follow prospective buyers around. Be invisible unless you are asked a question. If asked, be pleasant and friendly, but do not divulge any information which may come back to haunt you during negotiations;

Do not allow anyone to show your home unless they have made an appointment though my office.

Play quiet background music;
