Sellers!! Save Money Some Other Way - Turn
Up The AC
It's hot, hot, hot! Did I mention HOT? Ok...so it's pretty warm out there and your house is on the market in Mission Viejo, California. Great! Summer is a good time to sell and we still have time to close before schools head back in the fall.
But....this is not the time to save money on the air conditioning.
Time after time, I walk into a home and have a note inviting me to turn on the AC if I would like to. Oh come on....when it's 90° outside, we want to. In fact we walk around hoping to catch a moment of cold from a vent and dream about the air conditioning blast in my car.
We move fast and remember the home as being hot.
Is that what you want? No, of course not. You want your home to be inviting. It's not inviting if it's a sauna inside. It subtly relays the idea that you do not care about the potential buyers' comfort, and will do anything to save a buck.
Think about that?
You are conveying the belief that you are cheap and selfish. Do buyers want to work with that kind of person? Oh sure....you have the designer back splash and granite counter tops. We didn't see them, we were sweating our way through the house as fast as we could.
Stage your home....with the cold stuff. Put on the AC to a slightly cooler than normal level. Leave cold water out for buyers. Give us a reason not to head back into the heat and we might write an offer and just stay.
