How to Make the Most of a Home Showing (Without Crossing the Line) | EP399

In this episode of The Real Estate Podcast, Adrian Trott and Chris Behie break down the unwritten rules of showing etiquette from a buyer’s perspective. They discuss what buyers should and shouldn’t do when touring homes, why you should always assume you’re being watched or listened to, how to handle kids, shoes, washrooms, photos, food, timing, and why being respectful inside someone else’s home can matter more than you think.They also dive into a recent real estate case where an agent was fined $9,000 after entering a property early for a showing — and what buyers and agents can learn from it.VIDEO SECTIONS & TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:19 What buyers need to know before showings3:53 How negative feedback can affect negotiations5:14 Cameras inside homes and how they change the showing experience7:03 Can I bring kids to showings?8:31 Bathroom etiquette during showings12:26 What buyers should bring to showings15:36 Tools agents can bring to help buyers17:16 Why agent tools are not a replacement for a home inspection18:26 Lighting, flashlights, and seeing the home properly19:34 Why entering early can become a serious issue ($9000 mistake)22:29 Why you can’t just walk the property early25:10 Lockbox safety and key access rules25:53 Outro/recapWatch on YouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1pwncyet9NydbgTmx5D21kLinktree:https://linktr.ee/kormendytrottInstagram:https://instagram.com/kormendytrottYouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottFacebook:https://facebook.com/kormendytrottX:https://x.com/kormendytrottLinkedIn:https://linkedin.com/company/ktrealtyTikTok:https://tiktok.com/@kormendytrottThe Kormendy Trott Team was formed in 2011 by Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott.
