Rules of Etiquette for Sellers
If you’re trying to sell your home, you’ve probably scrutinized it, staged it, and scrubbed it down from floorboards to rooftop as if the folks from Architectural Digest were stopping by for a cover shoot. OK, so it’s in immaculate shape—but your home isn’t the only thing under scrutiny here. You are, too! That’s right: No matter how nice your home is, your behavior can also affect how buyers feel about making an offer.
The 8 rules of etiquette include:
-
Leave the House
-
Take your pets with you
-
Move your car (to allow visitors to park)

-
Wait patiently for feedback
-
Price the home correctly
-
Listen to professional advice
