Interesting article but I don’t agree with all of their advice.  Point number five goes against everything I have been taught and have experienced first hand.  The only time it may make sense is if the buyer has very specific questions about the home and is coming back for a second showing.  Otherwise a seller should not be present when buyers are previewing their home.

Being a real estate buyer can be a stressful situation and most prefer taking their time to view a property.  Buyers have a hard time feeling comfortable opening closest doors in homes without the sellers present, let alone homes where the seller is following you around.  At no time should a buyer feel rushed.  Unfortunately this often happens when sellers are around.
