Work From Home and Selling Your House? Here's How to Make it Work

Casper, Wyoming, Home Sellers Face Unique Challenges: Balancing Work and Showings Selling a home is stressful, but imagine juggling that with a full-time job from home. Real estate agent Alisha Collins recently addressed this challenge, offering practical advice to Wyoming homeowners. "Someone asked what a seller should do if they work from home and can’t leave during showings," Collins explains in a recent video. Her solution? "Stay in your office, smile and wave if you see the buyers, and do NOT follow them around." This approach, she argues, is crucial for creating a comfortable atmosphere for potential buyers. Collins highlights the potential drawbacks of restricting showing times, emphasizing that it can make selling a property more difficult. She notes that many buyers have limited availability, and restricting showings could mean missing out on potential offers. "The more you limit showing times, the less showings you get," she explains. While acknowledging the inconvenience of working from home during showings, Collins emphasizes the importance of maintaining a professional demeanor and giving buyers the space they need to explore the property. The video has sparked discussion among viewers, with many sharing their own experiences of selling homes while working remotely. The advice provided by Collins offers a valuable perspective for homeowners in similar situations, illustrating the need for balance and understanding in the real estate process. The success of this strategy remains to be seen, but Collins's practical approach provides a starting point for navigating this unique challenge.
