If you've ever walked through a home and immediately wanted to turn off lights, protect the thermostat, or remind someone not to touch things that don't belong to them, congratulations—you may have officially become your parents.

Our newest video takes a humorous look at those familiar habits that seem to appear out of nowhere as we get older. While touring a beautiful home, everyday phrases suddenly become impossible to resist.

"Don't touch the thermostat."

"Turn those lights off."

"Were you raised in a barn?"

It's a funny reminder that some things never change, especially when you're walking through someone else's home.

Home Tour Etiquette Matters

Although the video is meant to entertain, it also highlights an important part of buying a home.

When viewing a property, buyers should remember to:

  • Leave lights and appliances as they were found.
  • Avoid adjusting thermostats.
  • Refrain from opening personal belongings or cabinets unless directed by your agent.
  • Treat every home with respect.
  • Allow your Realtor to guide you through the showing.

Being courteous helps create a positive experience for everyone involved and shows respect for the current homeowner.

Buying a home is one of life's biggest milestones. While there are contracts, inspections, financing, and negotiations involved, there should also be moments that make you smile.
