When selling a house you will have a combination of people who are seriously searching for a home and people who are just out "kicking the tires." It's like going to a department store to buy something or just to window shop. People may just be looking to get a feel for a particular market, or get an idea of what is going on in the neighborhood but are not seriously interested in buying your house or any other. These people will usually walk through quickly and leave. When you hold an open house you will attract many of these window shoppers. It is part of the process so don't let it upset you.

Serious shoppers will tend to spend more time in the house and ask a lot of questions. You may find them going from room to room and back again. They will look at things that someone who is browsing will not. You may find them checking the furnace, looking for signs of leaks or other problems. You will also find them coming back for a second or third look. These are your potential buyers and should be treated as such. You should also look and listen for clues and ask them questions when you have the opportunity.

The more information that you can find out about a buyer, the better chance you have of making a deal. If you can find their underlying motives, you have a much higher likelihood of crafting terms that appeal to the buyer. Just like dealing with a seller, the more information that you have the better. Does the buyer have children? If so, they may need to move at a certain time to accommodate their school schedules. Do they have a home that they need to sell first or do they need to move out of a rental by a certain date? Remember that it's not just the price that matters, the terms of a sale can make a huge difference.
