Hi Bill, short and to the point it usually is unproductive to have sellers remain during a showing. They are emotionally attached to the property and could take offense to comments and the buyers will not be open and honestly evaluate the property, has been my experience.
I have made exceptions where physical handicaps have been involve creating a very difficult situation for the seller to vacate. Nice post.
At the time I list with the sellers, I explain that buyers feel uncomfortable when the sellers are home and they feel they are intruding into the seller's lives. Therefore they want to get out of the house as fast as possible.
I do not allow sellers to be present during the showing or during any open houses, unless it is a Realtor Open House.
No, No and No - I do not let the sellers be present. Two times I've been the buyers agents and the seller stayed home and maid promises the a selling agent didn't know about. One lead to a lawsuit and once I explain this story to my sellers, they don't want to risk and run from the home fast!
