Find my pathAbout this term
Private showings allow buyers to tour a property at their own pace with their agent present to answer questions and provide market context. The showing process is governed by rules in the MLS and local real estate board regarding notification, scheduling, and feedback. Successful showings often require buyers to be pre-qualified and ready to make an offer if they find the right property.
Pro Tip
Don't show too much enthusiasm during showings. This information may be shared with the seller and could weaken your position.
Example
The buyer's agent called ahead to schedule a showing at 2 PM on Wednesday, and the seller's agent provided access through the lockbox.
