Access Granted: Show Your Home With Confidence

Listing your home this spring? One of the decisions you'll make as a seller is how much access to give potential buyers.

Hi, I'm Tanja Odzak, Realtor with eXp Realty, helping people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay for the last 10 years.

As a general rule, buyers need enough access to make an informed decision, balanced against your own privacy and security. Open houses are one option, though harder to vet for serious, qualified buyers. A lockbox for licensed agents to bring buyers through by appointment is another. Or you can limit access to certain days and times, though the more availability you allow, the more showings you'll get.

This is ultimately a personal decision based on your circumstances, but limiting access too much can cost you, longer days on market and fewer offers than you'd otherwise get.

I'm Tanja Odzak, and I've sold over $100 million worth of homes with a decade of experience in the East Bay. Let's talk through a showing strategy that balances your comfort with maximizing your sale.
