Make sure your home is easy to show!

To get your home sold quickly, its important that other agents in the area show it to as many potential buyers as possible. The first thing a good agent will do when working with buyers is talk to the buyer and learn what kind of home they are looking for. Then the agent will search all the available homes for those most closely matching what the buyer wants. Next, the agent puts together a list of the best matches to show to the buyer. When a busy agent is compiling a list of homes to show a buyer, the agent will naturally tend to show those houses that are easiest to gain access to first.  

It is important to make it as convenient and easy as possible for other agents to show your home.  If I get a call from another agent with a request to show your home, I will do whatever I have to do to accommodate letting them show your home to buyers on their schedule.  

Its best if you can leave when the agent and buyer arrive to see your home.  Buyers wont feel comfortable with you there, and it could sour an otherwise good impression.
