Youโre walking through a home that could be the one. It feels perfectโฆ but before you say a word, hereโs something important to remember:
๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จโ๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ .
With smart devices, cameras, and people nearby, a showing or open house is not a private space. What you say can impact negotiationsโsometimes without you realizing it.

Your budget is a negotiation toolโkeep it private. If a seller knows how high you can go, that information could be used against you.

Need to relocate quickly? Keep that to yourself. Urgency can weaken your negotiating position.

Even casual comments can backfire. Sellers may have close relationships with neighbors, and offending them can hurt your chances.

Design taste is personal. If something isnโt your style, thereโs no need to say it out loudโcomments can feel insulting to sellers.

A showing isnโt the place for private conversations. Anything you say could be overheardโso save sensitive discussions for later.
The rule of thumb?
If you wouldnโt want the seller to hear it, donโt say it in the home.
Being professional, courteous, and discreet can make a bigger difference than you might think.
