We are finally closing on our house this week and the new buyers would like for us to walk through the house with them prior to closing. We have agreed and plan to show them all the things we have learned over the past ten years. (I still don't know which light switch turns on what)
Has anyone else done this and did it turn out good? or bad?
I walked the buyers through my last house. They were a young couple, about to get married, and neither had ever lived away from home. They asked intelligent questions and I was fortunate enough to have all of the answers.
I've had sellers do this and it worked out fine. The buyer felt more comfortable than being left there to read a manual or figure things out on their own. Generally, the buyers I work with, if they want to know how things work, come to the home inspection and the home inspector explains everything to them. He often will put in the inspection report, for those who were not able to come, where certain main things they need to know are.
Our potential buyers have been out several times and I was at home twice, one time being during the inspection they had done because they wanted some questions answered.
They had a lot of questions and we answered them to the best of our ability.
There were some light switches out in the garage I didn't have a clue about and we played around with those.
I think it's a good idea to let your buyers know what you've learned about the house while living there.
Congrats on closing this week.
No, usually the agent will represent the sellers. Unless the sellers can and want to be there.
Our buyers wanted us to be there if possible so we made an effort to do that.
