Do you want the buyers agent
to spend time prepping your home,
or actually show your home?
Before the scheduled home showing appointment starts, try these two time savers for agents:
1. Turn on All Lights
I will never forget the listing agents who inform me, “Please show up to the showing 20-30 minutes early to turn on all lights.” One of the instances, the home had 6000 square feet, several light switches in every room. It took 30 minutes to turn on all lights, and 30 minutes to turn them all off. That is an hour of light switch time. To allow for more quality viewing time, as opposed to using showing time to take care of tasks, I suggest sellers turn on all lights.
2. Open Curtains/Blinds
Again, this is a time saver, and the buyers can see how beautiful your home looks with natural light.

“Reliable and Ready” REALTOR® since 2016. I was born in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, but was raised in Texas since 1997. When I found out we were moving to Plano, Texas, I remember looking forward to riding a horse to school and a brand-new pair of cowboy boots! Growing up in Plano prepared me to be competitive, quick, and to have a strong work ethic.
I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. Axe’em Jacks! That is where my love for East Texas began. The nature, warm smiles, football games, and community values can't be beat! I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I was a middle school math teacher in Tyler, Texas. I met my husband, Travis, in Sunday school, and we have been married since September 2016.
I love being a REALTOR® in East Texas! Relationships are genuine, the area is beautiful, and the market is rockin’! I am an involved REALTOR® to better the community. Some of the organizations I am involved with are: The Professional Development Committee, Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee, and Tyler Educational Networking Group. Some awards I have won were “The Hustle Award” in 2016, and “Rookie of the Year” in 2017.
When I am not working with my clients, I like to spend quality time with my friends and family doing the following: running, target practice, read and participate in book club, and playing with my dachshund Greta.
