What Should Seniors Expect From Real Estate Showings?
Showings are one of the most visible parts of the home-selling process. For seniors, understanding how they work often removes much of the uncertainty.

This feedback can help guide strategy.
Showings Indicate Market Interest
The number of showings often reflects:
Buyer demand
