Should Sellers Be Home For An Open House?         Well of course NOT!   A few reasons we tell the sellers to "get lost".    Buyers are not comfortable with the sellers around. Buyers don't stay as long with the sellers at home. Buyers will not talk freely with the owners present. Sellers can give away too much information. Sellers can get upset when they hear certain comments about their home.       We had an impromptu open house  scheduled today from 3:00-4:00 at this beautiful new listing.  12412 Benson Branch Road.      I arrived early enough, after my  live radio show,  to make sure the lights were on, the signs and arrows were in place and the information, and sign in sheet were all available.  And, of course, to make sure the chocolate cookies were in the oven!   Since I make the ...
