To
sell your own home more effectively, look at your home from the
buyer's viewpoint.
|
- Dress
(or undress) your house for success.
Add small decorating touches such as flowers and plants
to add a cozy feeling; cook a pot of cinnamon sticks
on the stove. Make sure the house is sparkling
clean since homebuyers are tougher judges of homes they
look at than of their own home! Keep your house
free of clutter such as magazines and last week's
newspapers, and remove any decorating touches that may
overpersonalize your house.
- Don't
try to sell your house to potential buyers.
Realtors know their customers, and how to sell them
on features in a house that they are looking for.
You will not know the buyers who walk through your house,
and in promoting details that are important to you,
you may "turn off" your potential buyers.
Let your house sell itself!
- Don't
play host to your buyers. Let them
feel at home in your house. Avoid expressions
of ownership such as "my kitchen," and "our
garden." Allow them to browse through the
house at their own pace, and invite them to look in
the closets. Then be prepared to answer their
questions and provide details and features once they've
seen the basics of the house.
- Realize
that not all prospects are buyers!
They may not be qualified, they may not even want
to buy a house. Looking at homes on Sunday might
be their hobby! Don't feel that you've
lost a sale if they "get away."
- Call
a professional if you need one! Use
an attorney if you have questions about contracts; call
in a lender to help ensure your buyer is qualified.
Let me be your resource if you run into difficulties.
