Recommendations
for Showings:
1) If
at all possible, leave the home during showings
so that potential buyers aren't nervous. They may
spend more time in your home and concentrate more
on the business at hand. Their agent will call
with any questions they may have,
2)
Occasionally, agents may call to
"preview" your home. This means that
the agent is coming by him/herself. They may be
doing this for a client or for themselves for
potential future clients or if they have a home
"For Sale" in the area. There is no
need to leave the home during an agent preview.
3) It
is often best to have all lights on and curtains
open when showing your home. Also, it is a nice
idea to have soft background music playing.
4) To
make you rooms appear larger, store items away
that not needed and keep only key pieces like
beds, sofas etc. The same applies to closets.
5)
Keep all animals away and no smoking. Take your
pet out and spray each room. This will keep the
buyer concentrated on the house and not the
odours.
6)
Keep the outside of the house well manicured and
clean to attract potential drive-by appointments.
7)
Inside maintenance and detailing are just as
important. First impressions are what the buyer
remembers most
8)
Open Houses: Don't worry, we'll be at your home a
little early just to make sure you have not
forgotten any of these suggestions.
