Tips For O'Fallon MO For Sale By Owners...
In these times of slow home sales and uncertain economic conditions I thought that I would start offering 
you some tips on a weekly basis. This weeks' tip is how to hold a successful Open House.
- Look in the local real estate section of your paper to determine the popular day(s) of the week and times for an open house.
- Schedule your open house at least one week in advance.
- Restrict the total hours of the open house. Many buyers may visit your home at the same time. Putting time restrictions limits your waiting for prospective buyers.
- Place directional arrows from 3-4 blocks away to help buyers find your home. (Check your local city ordinance for sign restrictions.)
- Place a visible open house sign in your front yard.
- Leave space for buyers to park.
- Remove all debris from the front yard.
- Your front walkway should sparkle.
- Turn on all lights....open drapes and curtains and make sure that your windows are clean. No pesky fingerprints.
- Turn on lights in closets.
- Place your property brochure in the entry area, if possible.
- Bathrooms must be spotless.
- If your closets are very organized, open a few.
- Remove valuables from sight.
- Tune in soft music on the same radio station in each room.
- Consider a guest registration book for your prospective buyers to sign.
