Before Buyers Come to Your Home

  • Make sure you are not at the home when a buyer tours your home. If you are there this will make them uncomfortable and shorten their time in the home. Also, you do not want to give them the opportunity to ask you any questions about the home, or why you are selling etc.

  • Turn all the lights on. Even during the day. This makes the home feel light and bright, and ensures that there are no scarey rooms to try and find the light switch in.

  • Turn on soft easy listening music.

  • Keep the heat at 68 degrees. If the home is vacant, we recommend leaving the heat on so when visitors come in, they don't get that cold feeling.

  • Keep pets in a separate area and clean up after them daily. Clean litter box daily.

  • Put money and other valuables away and out of sight.

  • Keep draperies and shades open.

  • Open all doors inside the home except closets.

  • Do not over spray the home with scented sprays. This is an obvious attempt to cover something up.

  • Empty all the trash cans daily.

Kudos:

"Buying your first home can be an intimidating experience. Having you as my agent, however, I felt completely comfortable from the beginning and that continued until the day you handed me the keys! I really appreciate the knowledge and insight you were able to provide me with. You were always available and accommodating, which proved very helpful during the times I was required to be out of town throughout the home purchasing process. If the time ever comes to buy or sell again, I can trust that with you I will be in great hands!”
