What NOT to Do when Showing Houses...(funny)

What NOT to Do when Showing a Home...

1. Do NOT eat Mexican beforehand!

2. Do NOT use the bathroom without checking to make SURE the water works!

3. Do NOT talk about all of your dogs and show photos of Muffy, Buffy, & Puffy!

4. DO Chew gum!

5. Do NOT pick your nose...that is just gross anyway

6. Do NOT talk crap about other Realtors!

7. Do NOT let the Buyer drive..that is just crazy!

8. Do NOT split your pants when leaning down to look in the crawlspace

9. Do NOT roll around in the brand new, fresh carpet!

10. Do NOT let your cell phone ring over and over...silence that thing!

 

Happy Selling!

May I add "Do not point out the obvious, such as this is the family room."

LOL... pretty good list but to tell the truth I've been thinking of doing number 7...letting the buyer drive!

Or "here is the kitchen" - following up on Teresa's comment.

All good points of the "Do Not" list, Tracey.

Tracey, sometimes I do answer my phone when I am with a buyer. Otherwise, I miss when appointments have been changed. Easy to say I will call you back!

I violated #7 only 1 time, and by a fluke we got hit by a drunk driver while my client was looking down at a listing!  To make matters worse, it was his fiance's car, and it was a hit & run.  VERY UNLUCKY for the driver, that we are both police officers....... we managed to get him a few blocks later :)   That's all for my saga right now! LOL

Take care,

This list is pretty funny.  I had some big question marks behind #4 and #7...and I feel really uneasy about #1 and #9.  The really funny part is that there are people that do all these things.  LOL

Never talk about other REALTORS unless you are talking to your husband or priest...  It always comeds back to you!  Loved the list.
