Sellers can make appointments to show their home based on their schedule and since owners know their home better than anyone else they will be able to answer questions. In the result of an offer, the seller will negotiate with the buyer and/or the buyer’s real estate agent. Not to worry, negations during this process seem scarier than it really is.
