After
putting in a huge amount of time and effort to get your home looking good and ready
to sell, your hard work is finally going to pay off: your home is on the market—you’re ready to
begin showing. Your house should always
be at-the-ready for a tour, as agents may bring clients by with very little
notice. If they catch you unprepared and
you aren’t able to show the house on the spot, you could be losing out on a
sale. Concentrate on the following areas
to ensure your home is ready to show:
- People
Homebuyers may
feel like intruders if you are present while they view your house, and this
will affect their overall impression.
Consider taking the opportunity to visit the local coffee shop, go
shopping, or take the kids to the park.
If you can’t leave while the house is being shown, try to be as
unassuming as possible. Do not move from
room to room. Don’t offer information,
but make yourself available...
