Showings are scheduled between buyers and sellers so that a prospective buyer can tour the property. The coordination for the showings is generally coordinated between the respective Realtors, with the input of the buyer and seller of course.

​

For the Seller:

• The Realtor will usually provide a Lockbox where a key for the property will be placed.

• Either your Realtor or the Buyer’s Realtor will escort the Buyer through your home

• Make sure to prepare your property for a showing and to also secure your valuables. It is recommended that Sellers do not leave anything out. Although a Realtor will be present during the showing, it is always better to be safe and secure your items.

• When a Buyer and the Buyer’s Realtor has coordinated a showing with a Seller, the Realtor will receive a Lockbox code to open the Lockbox to receive the key and gain access to the property.

​

For the Buyer:

• Your Realtor can either coordinate an individual property showing or schedule multiple properties in one day. It is usually a lot more efficient to see multiple properties in a day.

• Only a Realtor is able to receive a Lockbox code from the Seller’s Lockbox per the Illinois regulations.
