Small tricks, great results. Turn the lights on.
Ooooh.... the greenies are going to fillet me, but this works for me.
If I know a showing is happening on one of my properties, and it is vacant, and I have time to flip the switch, I light that sucker up. Yep, I turn all the lights on..all of them. We here in Charlotte like to leave the lights on for you...It's a Southern thing...welcoming you home, but if you are not from the South, there are other obvious reasons.
Why?
1. It's vacant. Bright is the only way a buyer will buy. Let's not dim the positives.
2. It puts the house in the best light to sell. Seriously, do dark homes sell well ?
3. If I can see it, I might buy it. Yep, buyers want to see what they are buying.
4. Navigating the house is much easier. Let's not have a trip and fall due to Darkman the seller.
So, I encourage you, much to the chagrin of the greenies, to light the house up prior to a showing. Let us see the property with all it's glory. I'm not promoting subsidizing the power company. But, hey ....save yourself some painful reparte... just turn the lights on.
What do you do to enlighten a dark home that is unoccupied?
