How quickly they will leave and the condition of the property when they do. 

If you haven’t seen the place lately, might be a good idea to somehow go visit and see inside just to be sure to know what condition it’s in.

Don’t allow outside showings and you’ll still probably receive 10+ offers if the house is in good condition.
