Be Careful What You Say When Touring A Home For Sale

Eavesdropping

As a buyer, when you are walking through a home, keep in mind that the seller might be listening.  These days, there are plenty of ways that a seller could be monitoring their home, with a security camera, or other recording device that could allow them to hear every word you are saying while you are in their house.

So.....
1.  Don't insult their house.  It won't help during negotiations.

2.  Don't discuss negotiations.  You might be revealing your strategy.
By the way, sellers, it may not be legal for you to record conversations in your home while you are gone.  You should likely either NOT record conversations, or disclose that it is taking place.
 
P.S.  I am not an attorney.  Consult one if you want an actual legal opinion.  Ask me if you need a recommendation.
