Before putting your house on the market it needs to be prepared for sale. Most
homeowners are incapable of viewing their house with an objective eye. Here is
one of the many areas where our experience and insightfulness are invaluable
assets in determining how your house will appear to potential buyers. We want
to show your house in its best light to maximize your earning potential. We tour
your house with the eye of a buyer - what works, what doesn't work.
Essential Curb Appeal
First impressions do mean a lot and our experienced real estate professionals
know that you only have one shot at that first impression. In addition to keeping
the lawn nicely trimmed, there are other elements you can add to grab a buyer's
attention before they even walk in the door. A great overall first impression is
often enough to make a buyer more lenient about needed minor repairs or flaws
on the inside.
Welcome Home
Probably the most difficult chore in preparing your house for sale is
"de-personalizing" it. Buyers must be able to imagine your house as their home.
And you must separate yourself from any personal feelings you may have about
your home. It's not your home now; it's a commodity you intend to market.
Setting the Stage
Before the first buyer walks in the door our agents will show you how to set the
stage. We want to engage the buyer's senses and will make knowledgeable
suggestions on every facet of the presentation. Rooms and closets will appear
larger when unnecessary furniture and clutter is removed. Lighting is critical,
with natural lighting being the best choice, if possible. Music playing lightly in the
background and a pleasing aroma emanating from every room enhances the
ambiance.
