Simple Things to do Before a Showing of Your Halifax Home

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Sutton Group-Professional Realty

Showing Your Halifax HomeSelling your Halifax home takes time and care to get ready. The simple plan is to get your home cleaned up, emphasize its charm, and show off all those great assets.

When it comes to getting your home noticed, you'll want to pay close attention. By just doing these simple things before a showing, you will make potential buyers feel more at ease and relaxed when viewing your home.

Change with the Seasons
When you go out in the retail marketplace, one thing you notice is that the décor changes to match the time of year. The goal is to create a mood, to make consumers want to buy more. Psychological and emotional advertising influences buyers all the time in the retail market; so use it in your home as well.

When Roy Thomas lists your home this winter, make sure to have your décor match the season. For example, if you have spring decorations in the winter, potential buyers won't feel quite comfortable. Having out-of-season decor can leave buyers feeling like the house isn't being well-cared for.

Make it Cozy
One of the easiest ways to make your home cozy is by drawing attention to the fireplace. As the weather turns colder, flaunting your fireplace as a focal point is often a great selling point. Just by placing mirrors, artwork and vases on the mantel, you can turn your fireplace into a main focal point in the room. You may want to have a fire softly lit; especially during our Halifax winter.

Turn up the Heat
During your open houses, you can make your home quite cozy just by turning up the thermostat in preparation for prospective buyers. When it comes to routine individual showings, you don't want buyers walking into a chilly house, which will not make them feel at home. Instead, set the thermostat to keep the home at a comfortable temperature. It may cost a bit more, but in the end your home will be more appealing. If your home's temperature is either too cold or hot, buyers won't stick around to explore it.

Bring in the Natural Light
Hold your open house during the high daylight hours whenever possible. Natural lighting is a big attraction and often helps sell your home better. Have Roy Thomas schedule individual showings during the time of day when you know the natural lighting will light up your home best. Serious buyers will want to see your home at different times of day, usually after they have seen your home in the natural light and really like what your home has to offer.

Your #1 goal is to make potential buyers feel at home. You want them to be able to picture themselves living there. Roy Thomas will voice all the great assets your home has, but start your potential buyers on the right foot by making them feel relaxed and welcome in their prospective new home.
