How to Make the Most of a Home Showing (Without Crossing the Line) | EP399

In this episode of The Real Estate Podcast, Adrian Trott and Chris Behie break down the unwritten rules of showing etiquette from a buyer’s perspective. They discuss what buyers should and shouldn’t do when touring homes, why you should always assume you’re being watched or listened to, how to handle kids, shoes, washrooms, photos, food, timing, and why being respectful inside someone else’s home can matter more than you think. They also dive into a recent real estate case where an agent was fined $9,000 after entering a property early for a showing — and what buyers and agents can learn from it. ************************ 0:00 Intro 2:19 What buyers need to know before showings 3:53 How negative feedback can affect negotiations 5:40 Cameras inside homes and how they change the showing experience 7:03 Can I bring kids to showings? 8:31 Bathroom etiquette during showings 12:26 What buyers should bring to showings 15:36 Tools agents can bring to help buyers 17:16 Why agent tools are not a replacement for a home inspection 18:26 Lighting, flashlights, and seeing the home properly 19:34 Why entering early can become a serious issue ($9000 mistake) 22:29 Why you can’t just walk the property early 25:10 Lockbox safety and key access rules 25:53 Outro/recap ************************ Want more real estate podcast discussions?
