As a seller, you may find yourself trying to piece together a mental list of everything needed for a successful home sell. Between getting photos of your listing and marketing, there’s much to be done to get your home sold off the market.
When preparing for home showings, small details make all the difference in providing a positive experience for potential home buyers who come to visit your property. This is why it’s crucial to take the following steps to enhance your home showing.
First impressions are key during home showings, as this may be the first time a potential buyer gets the chance to see the home up close and personal. Removing clothing items, toys, collectables and more can help to clean up the space, so it can be viewed to its full potential.
Tidying up can also help to depersonalize the area to make room for potential buyers to better envision their life living in the home.
Even though your pets are loved, and their cute behavior may be viewed as adorable by your household, it’s still a courtesy to relocate them during home showings.
Pets may be distracting and take away from your guests' home viewing experience. Consider momentarily housing your pets with a trusted friend or pet hotel for optimal comfort away from home. This will also help avoid any issues for visitors who might have allergies.
Although the process of balancing selling your home and other matters of your personal life can be challenging, it pays off to have a flexible schedule with home showings. A flexible schedule allows you to display your home to more potential homebuyers, increasing the chances of getting your home seen by a buyer with much to offer.
It’s beneficial to work closely with your real estate agent to pinpoint areas in need of improvements around your home before showings, as well as to advertise that your home is open to viewing.
Hi, I'm Ronald Bixby and I'd love to assist you. Honor, Respect, and Integrity...These are qualities that were instilled in a small town in upstate NY and reaffirmed in the US Navy. I was raised in a town called Horseheads. After graduating High school, I decided to see the world and I went into the Navy. Although I wanted to see the world, I ended up joining the submarine force and unfortunately, they don't have too many windows on subs! After getting out of the Navy, I found myself with an opportunity to get into the restaurant business and that's where I spent the next 30 years. I am blessed with an amazing wife, who is my rock, 4 beautiful daughters, and a son... Parenthood has a way of keeping you on your toes! However, thinking that I was missing something, I decided to make a change and started exploring the Real Estate business, and the more I looked into it, the more I knew this was the right profession for me. I like to help people and assisting a family buy or sell a home is a fantastic opportunity to do just that. If I can make someone half as happy as I am...it's a great day. Let me help you be happy.
