Should I be present during property viewings?

Answered by Team Lorraine Mulligan Estate Agents in Lucan and Celbridge. Updated 21 July 2025.

It’s generally advised that sellers do not attend viewings. While it may feel natural to want to highlight your home’s features, buyers typically feel more comfortable asking questions and expressing honest opinions when the owner isn’t present. A relaxed viewing environment helps them envision the property as their future home, not someone else’s.

Your estate agent is trained to showcase your home’s strengths while managing buyer interactions professionally. They know how to answer questions, highlight key selling points, and gather feedback that could be valuable in your selling strategy. By trusting your agent to host viewings, you give your property the best chance to make a strong, lasting impression.

Every move is different. Lorraine and the team are happy to talk yours through, with honest advice and no obligation.
