Make Your Listing Feel –- and Look, Smell, Taste, Sound –- Like Home | Using the Five Senses to Help Sell Your Home

It's important in any market - but especially a Buyer's Market - to make your house look its best when it's on the market. But how can you go the extra mile to really make your home stand out from others in the neighborhood and local area?

Does your house feel like home to potential buyers who are coming through your door? You need to do everything you can to make your home stand out from the other listings in your neighborhood and surrounding area, especially if you are in a market that is currently experiencing a down-turn or slower market conditions. There are a few simple things you can do - for scheduled showings, open houses, and agent caravans - that can make your house feel more like a home, and make it more likely that buyers will spend more time there and want to make an offer.

By using your senses as your guide, you can make your house feel -- and look, smell, sound and taste -- more like home to any buyer who walks through the door.
