What to Know Before We Go

You’ve picked your favorites from the MLS, we’ve scheduled your showings, and we’re headed out soon. Before we go, here are a few important tips to make the day smooth and productive.

Showing Requirements & Scheduling

• Most sellers require you to be pre-approved before allowing showings.
• Many sellers need 24 hours’ notice and may limit times (e.g., no showings after 6 PM or on Sundays).
• If natural light matters to you, try to view homes during daylight hours.

What to Wear & Bring

• Wear comfortable slip-on shoes—we may need to remove shoes in some homes.
• Dress for the weather; walkways can be snowy/icy/muddy. Some homes may lack AC/heat.
• Vacant homes may have utilities off (lights, water, HVAC).
• Bring drinks/snacks—touring multiple homes can be tiring. Restrooms may not be available.

Showing Etiquette

• Focus on the property, not the seller’s furnishings or decor.
• Avoid touching furniture/personal items; remind kids not to play with toys.
• The home inspection happens after an accepted contract—no entering attics/crawl spaces during a typical showing.

We’ll text or email you the meet-up locations and times. Have a last-minute favorite? Let us know and we’ll try to add it if the seller allows.

Now let’s go see some homes!
