Since we’re talking turnoffs, a huge turnoff for me was when the owner was present during my visit. This can go a few different awkward ways. Either the sellers have confined themselves to a corner of their home with their noses buried in a book afraid to make eye contact, they go outside while you’re inside and then they swiftly move indoors when you make your way outside, or they follow you around like a used-car salesman, pointing out every feature of the home along the way. We even had one seller follow us to the car, all the while spouting about how the high radon levels in the basement were never really an issue…No matter which form of on-site seller we were dealing with, their presence made my wife and I feel rushed and uncomfortable.
