This is an interesting article that I came acroos at Daily Real Estate News


Reality TV shows like HGTV's "Sleep On It" are encouraging homebuyers to ask if they can spend the night.

A couple selling a condo in Orlando, Fla., got such a request and asked Pat Skiffington, an associate with Keller Williams Classic Realty in Orlando, Fla., to make the arrangements. He and the sellers hope a night having fun downtown will result in an offer to buy.

Skiffington says before sellers offer a sleepover invitation, they should recognize that while letting someone stay over can spotlight the positives, "it can also punctuate the negatives."

Before a seller issues the invitation, Neil Garfinkel, a real-estate attorney and partner with the Abrams Garfinkel Margolis Bergson LLP. , recommends alerting the home insurer and getting an attorney to help structure an agreement.

Now, Do you think this is a good idea or not?? I appreciate you input.
