In this market there are few things that you the seller can control and other things you cannot control. You cannot control who comes to your home or how many people tour your home. However; you can control when they come to your home.
A lot of people today work odd hours or spouses are working opposite shifts and sleep during part of the day. But the whole idea of putting your home on the market is to get it sold. One of the easiest ways for that to happen is to have your home availble for showings. In Charlotte, you cannot book a showing before 8a.m. or after 8p.m. Now, out of courtsey most agents will not even schedule a showing before 9a.m. or after 7p.m. if they know someone is living there. And generally they schedule a showing within an hour or two window.
But, when you make showing your home difficult or refuse showings you run the risk of losing that buyer. The buyer can perceive it as you are unwilling to sell your home or do not want to be bothered when they want to look at the house. Though, it may not be always true it is the perception that matters. Chances are if you did not make the home available for them to see when they are out viewing homes you will have lost them as a potential buyer.
In this market with all the choices availbel to buyers; why limit the chances you have to get your home sold?
