Why Attending Property Viewings in Person is Important

Your real estate agent can attend a viewing and show you the property through a video call, but it’s not the same as seeing the home in person. Your agent can offer an objective opinion, but this will be **your home**. Only you can get the true feel of the space by being there.

Limited Viewing Dates
Most sellers and their agents set 2 or 3 dates for viewings. It’s important to make sure you or your partner attend at least one of them. If you miss it, there is no guarantee of a second viewing. Demand is high, so don’t count on having another chance.

High Demand Means You Need to Be Present
With today’s shortage of supply and high demand, sellers can choose from many buyers. Sellers prefer buyers who have attended the viewing in person. If you don’t, it might hurt your chances of securing the property.

Make Your Home Search a Priority
If you’re away or planning a holiday, let your agent know. It’s best to start your home search when you can commit to attending viewings in person. We understand that everyone is busy, but being a bit flexible with your schedule can make a big difference in finding your dream home.
