In many cases, we even deal with a multiple offer scenario. As for showing preparation, I think it's up to the listing agent to educate their client on how things need to be done for their home to even compete in today's market. Simple rules as sellers not being present during showings, having a decluttered, well lit and neat space are a MUST. What did you think of the UK post I did a couple of days ago?

This is something I think agents should be reminding viewers when setting up the visit as part of the process of managing both parties. You list some good ideas on preparing for a viewing too, all too often we find home owners are not prepared to 'interrupt their lives' for the sake of giving the viewing the best possible chance of turning into and offer, even when we are in a buyers market!
