Showing
Your Home At Its Best
Make
It Light & Bright!
Make lighting in your home the “welcome sign” for homebuying
prospects. Please turn on all the exterior and interior lights, including
accent and picture lights.
Avoiding
The Crowds
If there are too many people around during a showing, potential buyers
will feel like intruders and want to hurry through your home. Take
a nice drive or walk with the kids while your house is being shown.
Shhhhhh!
When your home is being shown, have all TVs turned off. Turn the stereo
off, too, or put on soft classical music. Let Terrance or Donna and
your prospective buyers talk calmly without having to yell over any
noise.
Having
Pets Around The House…
…is wonderful, except when showing your house. Can Spotty and
Tigger go for a drive, too?
This
Is Not A Social Call
If you’re present, be courteous and friendly, but don’t
force conversation with potential buyers. They’re there to inspect
your house, not to be social. Let Terrance or Donna show your home
and do all the talking.
Nor
Is It A Garage Sale
Don’t try to sell potential buyers any of the furnishings that
you don’t want to take with you. They haven’t even bought
your house yet. It could jeopardize the sale.
Trust
Terrance or Donna To Do It Right
Let Terrance or Donna negotiate with the buyers about price, terms,
possession date, etc. They have the knowledge and experience necessary
to get YOU the best deal.
