How To Really Help Us Sell Your Property
-
Tidy up the grounds, porches and
garage. Keep lawn trimmed and edged. Make sure that
your yard is clean
-
Give a vital first impression while
prospective buyers are waiting to enter--scrub the
front door.
-
Dress up windows in freshly
laundered curtains
-
Keep bathrooms sparkling--bathrooms
sell homes.
-
Potential buyers will feel a glowing
warmth when you turn on all your lights for an
evening inspection. Make sure all light fixtures
have working bulbs. Illumination is like a "Welcome"
sign.
-
Wash dishes, put away clothes,
straighten up newspapers, make beds, clear steps of
hazards etc.
-
Keep pets out of the way when
showing. (One type of prospect is annoyed while the
other type will get their attention diverted).

-
Avoid having too many people present during
inspection. The potential buyer will feel like an intruder
and will hurry through the house. Do not allow children to
tag along on the visitors tour.

Consider Home Staging. Your Realtor can
provide you with information on this.
Leave showing up to the salesperson. It is their
business to sell; they can lead up to basic reactions alone
better than with running conversation help. The salesperson
knows the buyer's requirements and can best emphasize the
features of your home. You will be called if needed.
Don't discuss anything concerning the sale with
the customer. Let the Realtor discuss price, terms, possession
and other factors with the customer. They are eminently more
qualified to bring negotiations to a favourable conclusion.
Never apologize for appearance. It only accents
or distracts. Never try to sell furniture to a customer before
the deal is complete.
