Remember, when a prospect comes to look at your house, the first thing he will see is your home\u2019s front door ! Be sure that it is fresh, and clean. Be sure your lawn and landscaping is well manicured and trim looking. Be sure your yard is free of refuse and leaves. If it snowed, be certain that you\u2019ve removed the ice and snow from walk and steps.<\/p>\n
Faded walls and worn woodwork will reduce the appeal of your home. Why try to tell a prospect how your home could look\u2026 When you can show him by a reasonable amount of redecoration ? A quicker sale at a higher price will result. Invest in wallpaper in the kitchen or bathroom. It will pay dividends for you.<\/p>\n
Open those drapes and curtains all the way, so the prospect can see how bright and cheerful your home is.<\/p>\n
Since dripping water discolors sinks and suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing.<\/p>\n
Take a few minutes to check to be sure that your doors don\u2019t stick or have loose knobs on them. Don\u2019t forget your windows and cabinet drawers. Get all those minor flaws fixed since they detract from your home\u2019s value.<\/p>\n
Keep stairways clear and clean since this will avoid injuries around your home, as well as avoid detracting by distraction.<\/p>\n
Display your attic, basement, and other utility space (including crawl spaces) by removing all unnecessary articles. A coat of paint can do wonders if your basement is dark and dreary.<\/p>\n
Make them look bigger by having them neat and well organized to show that your home has ample closet space.<\/p>\n
Make these rooms sparkle ! Check and repair any damaged or discolored caulking in the bathtubs and showers, and be sure that the towels and area rugs are bright.<\/p>\n
Keep these rooms bright and cheerful. Remove any excess furniture and be sure and use attractive and colorful bedspreads, and fresh curtains.<\/p>\n
Your home\u2019s illumination can be a \u201cwelcome\u201d sign to that prospective buyer! Turn on all of your outside and inside light when showing your home at night and he\u2019ll feel a glowing warmth as a result of your lighting.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t have too many people present during a home inspection, since the potential buyers will feel like an intruder and want to hurry through your house.<\/p>\n
But not the potential buyer. When showing your house, turn off that blaring radio or television. Let me and the buyer talk freely and not be distracted.<\/p>\n
A dog is \u201cman\u2019s best friend\u201d, but not when showing your home. Keep all pets out of the way and not underfoot.<\/p>\n
Be courteous and friendly, but don\u2019t try to \u201cforce\u201d conversation with a potential buyer. He\u2019s there to inspect your home.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no place like your home. Never apologize for the appearance of your home. If any objections or derogatory comments are offered, let me answer them ? that is my job.<\/p>\n
I know the buyer\u2019s needs and desires and can better emphasize the virtues of your home when you\u2019re not \u201ctagging along\u201d. If there are any questions, I will call you.<\/p>\n
Trying to sell the prospective purchasers any of the furniture or furnishings which you\u2019re not taking with you, before they\u2019ve purchased your home, can often lose the sale\u2026 so \u201ccool it\u201d.<\/p>\n
Let me discuss the selling price, terms, possession and other factors with the customer. I have been trained and have experience, so let me bring your negotiations to a satisfactory conclusion.<\/p>\n
We recommend that we show your home to prospective customers only by appointment through our agency. This will be sincerely appreciated and will help us make the sale more quickly.<\/p>\n
