How do I live in my house while selling it?
We have 3 very young children and want to sell our house. But the thought of trying to keep the house clean constantly and having all the showings feels overwhelming. Do you have advice on how to live in our house while selling it?

Setting up showings to give ample notice can certainly help. Depending on your specific market and price point, location and expected activity sometimes you can schedule showings for certain days and times, though the more accessible the home is for showing the better. Again depending on your specific market usually pricing it more attractively can allow you to get all showing quickly and under contract quicker and eliminate this painful process and in many cases get multiple offers and get more money for the home.

1st work with a Knowledgable local REALTOR that can help you price the home correctly to not SIT on the market and still get top dollar! 2nd have them do a video walk-through of the home while it is in good clean condition at the time the listing pictures are taken and have that shared with the potential buyers so that they have a good impression of the home before ever walking through it. Ask for notice of showings so you can be prepared for showings. do an open house the 1st weekend it is on the market and ask the showings to come to the open house.
With Small kids, make it a game to have them help. Reward them with a treat if they help keep their toys put away. When prepping the home, start packing things that you are not using that season. If it is summer, pack anything that is winter related and box it up! Put it in storage. A good local listing agent will help you with all these great tips and MORE!

Good morning Nicole. I can understand frustration of having to constantly clean with kids and having your home show ready. One advice I can give you is whatever agent you deem best fit to sell your home. Have that agent let other agents know to request showings 24 hrs. in advance. This will give you the ability to make sure the house is in order before showing to potential buyers. If You have any additional questions please feel free to reach out. I am a realtor here in Pensacola.
