If you are attempting to sell a property yourself “For Sale by Owner” there are some do’s and dont’s that can make a difference when showing the property to a potential buyer. It is not recommended that you allow anyone in your home without keeping an eye on there whereabouts but be careful on how much you say while walking. You can be your worst enemy if your chatter becomes more of the focus than the preview of the house the buyers may not even remember what they have seen.
Answer the buyers question with a question. An example of this might be: The buyer may ask a question as simple as how large is the yard. Your reply may be “our yard is huge - it is one of the largest in the neighborhood” which of course you think is great but maybe not the buyer. If you had replied to the buyers after their question like this “is a large yard important to you”? then your response would be more in line to meet the question appropriately. Listen then answer the question with a question then answer. It may be the difference in keeping the buyer interest or not.
