KEYS TO REMEMBER IN THE MOMENTS BEFORE A SHOWING AT YOUR HOME

Remember - When buyers make a decision to purchase a home they do it emotionally! The feeling they get from the house and the way they picture themselves enjoying the home, are two of the most important factors in the decision to buy. The following list offers a few suggestions to help the buyers create their own good feelings and visualize themselves owning your home.

 

QUICK TO-DO'S PRIOR TO EVERY SHOWING...

 

• Open drapes, blinds
• Turn on lights (even on sunny days)
• Turn on soft music...instrumental music at a very LOW VOLUME works best
• Quickly clear the easy to get clutter
• Make sure beds are made and dirty laundry is not on the floor
• Place dirty dishes in the dishwasher
• Spray or Plug-In Air Fresheners
• Take pets for a walk, in a kennel, or at least in the back yard before all showings.
• Adjust the thermostat - Cool in summer/warm in winter.  Also keep in mind when choosing a temperature, that the buyer has likely been in & out of the weather multiple times recently prior to entering your home.  The temperature should be very comforting.
• Leave the Property if at all Possible.  If leaving is not a possibility, try to stay outside until the showing is over and do not engage any conversations with the potential buyers about the details of your sale.
