You want potential buyers to feel at home from the minute they walk up the driveway. Give them a canvas to fill. It’s showtime!
Start with a good cleaning, eliminate clutter & pet odors, put away the knickknacks and add fresh coats of a neutral-colored paint to brighten rooms. Oh, and tidy up the yard. I can give you all sorts of tips to help boost your home’s curb appeal and impress potential buyers once they’re inside. Here are a few basics:
- You want the temperature inside to be comfortable and to give the buyer more of a reason to linger, especially on hot or cold days! So set the thermometer accordingly.
- Open all the window coverings to let in light. If a particular window overlooks undesirable scenery or obstructed views, keep the blinds partially closed.
- Turn on every light in the house, including appliance lights and closet lights. Brighten dark rooms with few windows by placing spotlights on the floor behind furniture.
- Move your cars to an alternate location, take the pets & children for a ride somewhere and be out of the house when it is being shown by a Realtor. Potential buyers usually feel more comfortable – and less pressured – when the owners are not present.
