Things To Do Before Buyers Come To Your Home
Taking time to prepare your home increases the homes desirability, provides a marketing edge, and ultimately results in taking less time to sell.
Below are some things a home seller can do to entice potential buyers to have a look at your house.
Before Buyers Come To Your Home
- Turn on all inside lights. Keep the inside clean, light, and bright. Turn on lights even during the day.
- At night, make sure all outside lights are on.
- Play soft music to give your home a welcoming atmosphere.
- Ensure that the temperature is kept at a comfortable 68-69 degrees.
- If you have pets, make sure they are kept in a separate area and clean litter boxes daily to prevent odors.
- Keep money, prescriptions, and other small valuables out of site or hidden.
- Keep shades and blinds open to allow the most light to come in.
- Open all doors inside the home except for closets.
During the Showing
- If the home owner is not in the home, the potential buyer will likely spend more time previewing it.
- If you can’t leave the home, have the children play outside or group them in front of the tv and watch quietly with the volume on low.
- If you are following or preceding a prospective buyer, you may make them feel uncomfortable, as if their presence is an intrusion.
- Let the agent show and sell the home.
By ensuring that potential buys have plenty of time to preview the home, you greatly increase your chances of making a great first impression which will generate a lot of interest from the buyer.
