Vacant and ready for showing is key . In our market , buyers are not giving us much notice for showings . If your property is not easy to show - it is simply by - passed and another home may get shown and sold your intentions and request vacancy for certain periods . If your home is rented nightly you may need to notify the rental management company of your intentions and request vacancy for certain periods . If your property is currently occupied by a tenant , ensure the tenants are tidy and the property is easily accessible to Realtors ® .
