Without a doubt, a visually appealing house will attract buyers who can't help but respond to the look and "feel" of a home. Take time to carefully prepare for showings. Don't forget the following:
Buyers will notice details. Get rid of the clutter, repair leaky faucets, wage war on dust and clean until your home shines. Small things can make a potential buyer walk away. When you prepare your house for showing, remember to:
As you prepare your home, don't rely solely on your own judgment. It's hard to be objective when you're the owner. Your Asset Reaelty Group agent will have helpful, professional tips on how to make your home more marketable.
Nothing will turn a buyer away faster than an odd smell. Try to eliminate smoking, food and pet odors. And don't leave any clues. If potential buyers see a dog or an ashtray, they'll be on the lookout for smells and stains.
Open shades and draperies before a viewing. Open all doors inside home. Turn on inside and outside lights.
Too many personal items can make viewers feel like they're intruding in someone else's home. Keep things clean and simple. Decorate in neutral colors.
When buyers view your home, they'll be more comfortable and spend more time if you're not there. If you must be present, be as unobtrusive as possible. Let your agent do the work.
Selling your home can be emotionally charged, but don't let that stand in the way of making a deal. Have a business-like attitude during the process and trust your real estate agent to handle the negotiation for you.
