🐾 Harley’s Home Tips #14
What Sellers Secretly Hate During Showings
Hey friends — Harley here 🐶🐾
Let me tell you something most sellers won’t say out loud…
👉 Buyers can absolutely ruin a showing.
And yes… sellers notice EVERYTHING.
If you want your offer taken seriously later, here are the biggest mistakes to avoid 👇
❌ Mistake #1: Showing Up Late
This immediately creates stress.
Sellers often:
• Leave their homes
• Take pets out
• Rearrange schedules
👉 Being late tells them:
“Your time doesn’t matter.”
❌ Mistake #2: Criticizing the Home Loudly
Big mistake.
Yes — buyers should evaluate the home honestly.
But saying:
❌ “This kitchen is ugly”
❌ “This house smells weird”
…while cameras may be recording?
Not smart.
👉 Sellers hear more than you think.
❌ Mistake #3: Bringing Too Many People
A showing isn’t a party.
When 7 random people show up?
👉 Sellers get uncomfortable fast.
Especially in occupied homes.
❌ Mistake #4: Touching Everything
Please don’t:
❌ Open every drawer
❌ Handle personal items
❌ Let kids run wild
👉 Respect matters.
❌ Mistake #5: Acting Disinterested On Purpose
Some buyers try “negotiation tactics.”
Like pretending they hate the home.
Trust me…
👉 Sellers can feel fake energy immediately.
And sometimes it hurts negotiations later.
🐾 Harley’s Bottom Line
The best buyers do one thing really well:
👉 They respect the home and the seller.
And honestly?
That matters more than people realize.
If you’re buying, I’ll help you navigate showings the right way — professionally and strategically.
