Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

When preparing to show a property, which activity should be avoided?

1. Leaving a business card at each showing

2. Encouraging the buyer to explore the property thoroughly

3. Promoting discussion about the home's pros and cons

4. Discussing potential offer prices with the buyer during the visit

5. Encouraging the buyer to make an immediate offer

6. Ensuring privacy for buyers during the showing

The correct answer is: Discussing potential offer prices with the buyer during the visit

When preparing to show a property, discussing potential offer prices with the buyer during the visit should be avoided. This is because discussing offer prices should ideally be done in a more formal setting, such as through the buyer's agent or during a scheduled meeting. Bringing up potential offer prices during a property showing can put undue pressure on the buyer and may not allow them the time and space needed to carefully consider their options. On the other hand, the other activities listed are generally acceptable or even encouraged when showing a property: - Leaving a business card at each showing can help potential buyers remember the property and contact the real estate agent for further inquiries. - Encouraging the buyer to explore the property thoroughly allows them to get a feel for the space and imagine themselves living there. - Promoting discussion about the home's pros and cons helps buyers make informed decisions. - Encouraging the buyer to make an immediate offer shows genuine interest and can lead to a quicker sales process. - Ensuring privacy for buyers during the showing is important to make them feel comfortable and allow them to freely consider the property without feeling rushed or pressured.
