In order to sell your listing you need the property to sell itself. It is that simple. What you do to make it happen is critical foir your client and your success in a very competitive market. So I have put together some thoughts to help you get the most out of your profession. Here are some helpful hints.
INTERIOR
- Turn on all the lights for a glowing warm feeling. All of them including closets, basements, and garage space. Don't let darkness rule.
- Open the window coverings and place the shades all the way up. Natural sunlight or daylight gives a realistic impression to a potential buyer.
- Turn the ceiling fans onto a low speed. Circulating the air gives freshness to a home, it shows the amenity is working and it is a talking point about comfort. Buyer's look for comfortable living spaces.
- Remove unneccessary articles and appliances from countertops. Cluttered kitchens and general household nick knacks give a bad first impression.
- Remove magnets and pictures from the refrigerator. Sounds trivial but it is a sign of clutter even if it is not interferring with the space.
- Make sure the beds are made and remove any articles of clothing not put away. Floors and doorways should be inviting and not become a trip hazard! Stepping around a room means stepping away from the property.
- Eliminate odors. Get your client to use renewable plug in scents. Citrus or flower fragrances work well. If your kitchen has a garbage disposal then bring a lemon and send it throught the disposal. A fresh lemon scent works very well around the sink.
- Close: toilet lids, shower curtains and put away bathroom soaps, shampoos and similiar items. Have glass clean and mirrors shiny. Dirty bathrooms do a great job of turning people off! Make sure towels and wash clothes are set up and never leave the toilet paper dispenser empty.
