A good rule of thumb when you’re looking at homes as a buyer and you’re walking through is to keep your thoughts and your comments to yourself until you’re out of the house and talking to your realtor. 90% of people have some sort of recording device whether that’s an Alexa, Siri HomePod, cameras, or something where they can record and listen in on any conversation. Whether or not that’s right…it doesn’t matter. It means that your sellers could be listening in and if you say something negative about the home, they could be offended and if they hear that you are falling in love with the property. They could also use that against you. So, when you’re walking through, use it to your advantage and keep your mouth shut, until you and your Realtor can debrief later.
