 A Good First Impression Can Help Sell Your Home
You can assist your real estate Agent or Broker when you are showing your home to prospective buyers by remembering that first impressions are the most lasting and the most important to its sale.
Your major role as a seller will be to make your home as attractive as possible to potential buyers. The time, effort and limited financial investment involved can give you the competitive edge needed to sell your home when you want - at the price you want. |
Since the exterior of your home is the first thing a prospective buyer sees, a little time and effort can make a big difference in the impression your home creates. And pay big dividends when the sale is made.
If you have planned to paint the house within the coming year, consider painting the house before showing it. A new paint job, well done, will normally enhance the sale value a good deal more than the cost of the paint.
If your home's exterior looks clean, orderly and in good repair, that's the impression your house will first convey.

Interior dirt and clutter can obscure your home's good points, so start with a full house cleaning from top to bottom. Store unused or unnecessary items in closets and storage areas or hold a garage sale. Eliminate clutter and your home will look more spacious - an important selling point.
Take an inspection tour of your home, observing it as a potential buyer would.
It is also important to keep lighting in mind when you show your home. Good lighting will make your home seem more cheery and spacious.

Over-Improving Doesn't Pay
Don't plan major improvements on your home. Most home buyers want to make their own major changes. You are usually wiser to sell them the potential - at a price they can afford.
You can do a lot to help your real estate agent show your home. Showing your home is all important to its sale, and there are many ways you can help your real estate professional do his or her job successfully.

Here Are Some Last-Minute Details That Will Maximize Your Home's Selling Potential
• The television and radio are turned off or low enough to allow the salesperson and buyer(s) to talk, free of disturbances.
• Children and pets are sent outdoors to play or otherwise entertained to eliminate confusion and to keep the prospect's attention focused positively on your house.
• Bad odors are eliminated. Air freshener is used before the potential buyer arrives, especially if you have pets or if the house has been closed up for some time.
• The house has adequate lighting (during daytime drapes are open; at night plenty of lights are on, including the porch light).
• Wood is stored next to the fireplace. In winter a fire is lit.
• The kitchen sink is free of dishes.
• Magazines and children's toys are in order.
• Plants have been watered and look healthy.
• Fresh flowers are arranged tastefully around the house.
