Great Ideas for HomeSellers: WOW Buyers at Your Showings

By
Real Estate Agent with Nationwide Homes

Buyer's usually see anywhere from 4 to 8 homes in a day. At the end of the day only a few homes will stand out. Here are a few tips that can help make your property stand out over the others.

Dazzle them with your flyer.

These days a “for sale” sign often includes a box of flyers to highlight the home’s features. But at the end of the day all the flyers, and the properties, start to look alike. How do you make your home more memorable? Buyers love to see floor plans. Also include a sample mortgage rate sheet. A photo or rendering on your flyer is another good memory jogger.

Use highlight cards.

You can’t put everything on a flyer. But you can create, either by hand or on a computer, folded stand-up cards that describe your home’s special features. If you have beautiful Kohler faucets, put a highlight card in the bathroom. If you have a new dishwasher, skylights or leaded-glass windows, make sure agents and buyers don’t miss them.

Show your home in its best light.

When your house is being shown, turn on all the lights, even in the daytime. Also remember to replace burned-out light bulbs. Leave all curtains, drapes, and blinds open.

Keep the stereo tuned to soft FM music.

Leave your personal taste in music to the side & set a relaxed mood with some easy listening music.
