Selling your home? In a slowed market- if your property scored a tour request, remember that first impressions matter!
Use these tips to make your home shine during showings:
Brighten Up: Turn on all lights, including lamps, and open blinds and curtains to let the sunshine in
Declutter & Stage: Clear out the front door area and stand at the entrance—what catches your eye? Rearrange to highlight key features like your backyard, pool, or water views!
Polish Bathrooms: Hide bath rugs, lower toilet lids, and keep counters spotless.
Showcase Upgrades: Type up a list of recent improvements so buyers know the value you’ve added to your home.
Add a Personal Touch: Leave a friendly thank-you note with a treat for your visitors—because who doesn’t love that?
Stay Stocked: Check that you have enough flyers or handouts about your home and let your agent know if you’re running low.
Plan Ahead: Be ready to leave at least 15 minutes longer than the scheduled tour time to give buyers the space they need to fall in love.Making your home feel warm, welcoming, and easy to imagine as their future home can make all the difference. Ready to sell? Let’s chat!
