When you're selling a home it's a good idea to have it open for showings. This is a chance for potential buyers to really start imagining themselves living in that community and some that are curious to really see what the property looks like on the inside. If you want to set up showings than you're going to want to get your house properly prepared. Here are some tips to help you set up a showing that will hopefully lead to an offer on the property.
The first thing most people need to do is some editing on the things that they have in all of the different rooms of their home. Over the years, most of us build up a large collection of things. When you're going through most properties in you will find that there is more than just furniture and some personal items. You will want to reduce the clutter and get the rooms down to just being full of the basics. Don't completely remove everything personal but just enough so that it doesn't look full or crowded.
When you organized the room for your own purposes it was likely based of what you were going to do there. But your local real estate agents will tell you that this is sometimes not the furniture placement that best shows off each room. Try out some different arrangements to see what they do to make the room appear larger or to accent one element of the space that potential buyers might be looking for. Your agent will tell you that this can make a big difference to what people remember about your home.
Make your home as welcoming as possible. People will start forming their opinion about your property from the second they pull into the driveway. Make the entrance look as good as you possibly came and concentrate on the curb appeal of your home. You might also want to think about the scent that people are going to smell when they walk in. You will find some houses for sale smell like fresh baked cookies when people walk in. People form about ninety percent of their opinion about your home from the first minute inside. So, you should make sure that you're making the best possible first impression.
