Showing Your Home

Showing your home is one of the most important steps in selling your home.  Keep these tips in mind  when showing your home to prospective buyers:

BRIGHT IS NICE: A home should have a bright and positive appearance. Indoor lighting plays an important role in the proper exhibit of  your home -- turn on  lights throughout the house.

THINK CLEAN: A  personal inspection of every room before a showing is an absolute must.   Be sure to focus on the kitchen and bathrooms.

KEEP THE NOISE DOWN: Many sellers make the mistake of  thinking that soft background music improves the showing. Unfortunately, this just isn't true!   Noises tend to divert the potential buyers from focusing on the beneficial features of your home.  Turn off all TVs, stereos, and radios.

WHAT'S THAT SMELL:  In the short term, it may be necessary to  avoid cooking certain foods while your home is for sale. Strong smelling foods might be offensive to a prospective buyer. Check the entire house for any distasteful odors.
