01. Avoid These Mistakes while Site Visit

• Currently Rented out to Someone
• You're Living Right Now
• You used it Earlier, and it's now Empty
• The Property was just Bought and is Currently Empty

Let’s say that a tenant is already living in the house you want to sell. In this case, it can be hard to schedule a visit because most tenants are at work or elsewhere during the week, and they may have plans on the weekend. After all, the tenant is not required by law to show the house to people who want to buy it. Still, after getting permission from the tenant, take some time to set up a time to visit.

It would be best if you, the seller, went with the potential buyers on the visit since they might have a lot of questions that the tenant might or might not be able to answer. Some buyers are also uncomfortable going to look at a house when someone is living there, so they may rush through the process. But try to give the tour, show all the rooms, and talk about everything the property has to offer. Also, you might not be able to sit down on the property afterward to talk further. If that is the case, go outside and talk.

If you are living in the property, try to clean and organize it as much as possible before the visit. Take away your private pictures and other personal items that are lying around the property. In this case, scheduling shouldn’t be a problem, and you can choose a date that works for the people who are interested.

When they arrive, you should greet them and talk to them in a polite way. Sit them down and tell them everything there is to know about the property, such as its size, shape, amenities, neighborhood, and how to get there. Then you can show them around your property and show them where the rooms are. During the visit, it would be best not to follow them around. Instead, let them find things on their own.

Even though you may have strong feelings about the property, it would be best to put your feelings aside and treat this like a normal business deal. After the tour, sit down with the buyers again and answer any questions they may have.

If you’ve lived in the house for a while but have moved out, it would be best to have a deep cleaning done before the visit. There are also a number of things you can do to make your home look better and raise its value, such as getting it painted and making sure that all of the plumbing and electrical fixtures work.

Before the visit, make sure the property is clean and that there are no construction or painting materials lying around in any room. If the house has been closed up for a while, open all the windows and turn on the fans to let in more fresh air.

In conclusion, it will help you sell the house if you explain everything about it, don’t say the same thing over and over, don’t lie about it, and don’t rush the buyer into making a choice. Be kind, and polite, as well as keep things civil.
