Your house should always be available for
show, even though it may occasionally be inconvenient for
you. Let your listing agent put a lock box in a convenient
place, to make it easy for other agents to show your home
to homebuyers. Otherwise, agents will have to schedule appointments,
which is an inconvenience. Most will just skip your home
to show the house of someone else who is more cooperative.
Most agents will call and give you at least a couple of
hours notice before showing your property. If you refuse
to let them show it at that time, they will just skip your
house. Even if they come back another time, it will probably
be with different buyers and you may have just lost a chance
to sell your home
