Little Things Can Make A Big Difference

Did you know that within 15 seconds a buyer has developed an opinion of your property? This is why establishing the right first impression is critical to achieving a successful sale. The following is an outline of those elements which create the overall first impression, including suggestions on how to make sure the buyer reacts as favorably as possible.

The Model Home Effect

The best way to make a buyer “feel at home” is to create an environment similar to that found in a model home. When walking into a model home you will notice several key points:
 
  •          The environment is neutral.
  •          The colors and interior decorating accent the homes features.
  •          The smell is new and clean.
  •          The sound is either quiet or enhanced by subtle background music.
  •          All details are looked after, from the manicuring of the lawn to a floral arrangement in the entry.

 


Focus on Personalizing Your Home

When considering a home to purchase, the buyer often visualizes what it would be like living there. Take a look at your home through the buyer’s eyes…

·         Does the home have heavy odors from pets, tobacco or cooking?
·         Are your carpets clean and in good condition?
·         Do your walls need painting?
·         Are your appliances clean and in good working order?
·         Are your cabinets & countertops in good condition?
·         Is the tile grout clean?
·         Do your facets shut off completely?
·         Are your showers doors shiny?
·         Do your tubs need caulking?
·         Are your doors in good working order?
·         Do the locks work properly?
·         Is the fireplace clean?
·         Are the window screens in good condition?
·         Is the garage/basement/attic well organized?
