- Advance Notice – State clearly that all buyers must reach you prior to showing up. Of course, some will still stop by, but you can minimize the impact by asking for advance
- Online Tools – The more pictures and videos the better. If your potential buyers can view your home online, you are more likely to get the right buyers setting appointments. You may get fewer showings, but they will be the right
