When we were house-hunting, I'd say I met about 1/3 of the home sellers or so, out of thirty-ish homes. Maybe half the open houses had the home sellers present. And some home visits had home sellers present. Inspection also had home sellers present, or at least some familial representative. Maybe there are regional differences.

I don't think I ever viewed an apartment where I couldn't guess the background of the occupants, or at least the background they were attempting to communicate. Don't even need family photos. You could get the wok hei smell with East Asian sellers, you could see a mezzuzah or shabat candlesticks with Jewish sellers, etc. South Asian sellers almost always have a unique color scheme, with lots of reds. Yeah, I'm stereotyping.
