Putting a House on the Market? Consider it a First Date!

Whenever my clients are about to place a home on the market, I tell them that "the first impression is the only impression most buyers will have". You wouldn't show up to a first date smelling like paint or covered in construction dust would you? Of course not. So, don't subject your home to the same embarrassment. When a buyer enters a home for the first time, they can't help but to make superficial judgments. It is only natural. So in preparation for selling a home, make sure all of the "T's" are crossed and "I's" are dotted to perfection. It never hurts to have a professional cleaning crew make the house shine like new. And, if the home is occupied then, be sure to keep the house in presentable condition at all times. I know it sounds like a lot of work but, you can't expect a buyer to "imagine" what the house would look like in pristine condition. Most buyers have a lack of imagination, to say the least. So in conclusion, make sure your sellers put their best foot forward and show up to that first date dressed to impress!
