Your being around them can make them ill at ease and they could end up not viewing your house as they otherwise normally would like to. Allow potential buyers move around freely, discuss among themselves, inspect the nooks and crannies of the house. All this will simply make them feel more at ease to decide about your home.

So make it easy and simple on yourself by doing these little things and you might just find that selling a house is not that hard. Best of luck!
