While home showing isn’t hard to do effectively in order to find a buyer, you can do a few things to increase the chances of your home selling. First impressions and human nature are two factors that will affect your home’s chances of selling. Creating a good first impression is crucial because everything that follows is measured against it. For human nature, you are trying to appeal to the emotions to evoke a response, which will ultimately get a buyer to buy your house. Work on creating a positive impact on the buyer’s emotions and that will help you.
Your garage, basement or attic shouldn’t have way too much stuff in them that people will have a hard time walking around. This is a complete turn-off for anyone arriving for a home showing. It’s not too expensive to rent a storage unit. You can place most of your things in there. After you’ve cleared out most of the stuff in those areas, you need to thoroughly clean them. Is your basement not completed? You can strategically place a few extra lights in it. When you’re showing your home to a buyer, turn on the lights as this will make the area look more appealing.
Look at your mailbox and see if you need to buy a new one or if it could look good again with some thorough cleaning or new paint. This is another one of those little things that people notice in some way. Your home needs to look great from the street because it’s where buyers will be forming their first impression of your home. You know how important it is to make a good first impression. A potential buyer, before stepping inside your house, will be sitting in his or her car wondering if your house is something they’d be proud to own or not. The smallest things do count in the long run when it comes to home showing.
Make sure you make little to no contact with buyers as they look at your house. Obviously if it is just them and you, minus the realtor, you will need to conduct the showing. In that case, be friendly and warm without going overboard. Don’t engage in any negotiation without your realtor unless, of course, you’re selling your home without a realtor. Your realtor is the best person who can negotiate and get you the best price for your home. If a buyer is insistent on talking price with you, be polite and let them know you’ll have to refer their questions to your realtor. You don’t have to go through a lot of stress in the process of showing your home. The key is organization, and if you approach the process methodically, you will do well. It also helps to stick to the budget you’ve set for getting your home ready for showing. When it comes to home showing, you need to consider the small details as well because they’re crucial to a buyer’s purchase decision.
