Why Your Selling Agent Should Walk You Through Your Home Before an Open House
Briefly

Before listing a home, conducting an initial walk-through with your selling agent is essential. This process allows agents to identify both the strengths and weaknesses of the property, leading to tailored marketing strategies. Jennifer Okhovat, a Los Angeles real estate agent, emphasizes the importance of understanding what attracted homeowners to their properties, as these details can enhance the appeal to prospective buyers. A thorough walk-through ensures agents can effectively price and present the home, optimizing the chances of a successful sale.
When I walk through a home on the initial round, I always like to ask the current homeowner what attracted them to the home. It's vital to know what piqued their interest when they were purchasing. Most likely that can be played up when showing the home to other prospective buyers.
Since I do not take on every listing-and I recommend any agent to follow that protocol-walk-throughs are crucial. Initial walk-throughs reveal a home's best features, and possibly its worst features, so agents can come up with strategies to accentuate the best and downplay the worst.
