FOR MORE INFORMATION • ASK YOUR HEART ASSOCIATION iii !1 i REAL ESTATE ~ .,::: showing your house to a buyer Vince Himlie HIMLIE REALTY You don't have to roll out the red carpet. But there are certain little things that anyone can do to make the visit more pleasant for the buyer. Avoid having too many people around if you know a buyer is coming. The owner should not accompany the Realtor and prospect through the house unless asked. It s the Realtor s job to know what features will interest the buyer and to point these out to him. Don't try to engage the buyer in needless conversation. And don't make apologies for the way the house appears at the moment. Don't discuss price or other terms of the sale with the buyer and refer him to the Realtor, who will have a better knowledge than you of the sort of deal that will interest the buyer. Don't "put the cart before the house" by attempting to discuss lesser aspects of the deal -- such as sale of the furniture -- before the deal has been completed. And do keep the house free of such distractions as overly friendly pets, noisy radios and scampering children. Always give the Realtor a chance to do his very best for you. That way, you'll have every reason to expect prompt and satisfactory results.
