When Showing The Inside-First Impressions When Selling Your Home

When you are showing the inside of your home to a prospective buyer, remember that first impressions are lasting and have an important effect on a potential sale.  It sends a clear message to potential buyers.  A clean, well-kept home shows a home that has had good care and has been propertly maintained.  Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes.

Re-paint the interior if it needs it, but use neutral colors, if possible.  This is not an expensive DYI project or even one to hire out.  An attractive, comfortable living room is a major attraction, but a sparkling clean kitchen will appeal to the prospective lady of the house and as we all know…her opinion carries the most weight!  It is the heart of any home, so keep it spotless.  NO dirty dishes.  Put away your soaps and towels.  Women are also sensitive about the bathrooms: keep them clean, orderly, and uncluttered.  Again, put away your personal items.

Bedrooms are important – arrange their furnishings neatly.  Shiny windows not only are a great asset but let sunlight in and brighten the atmosphere.  Clean out the clutter in the closets, basement, and garage.  If you have a pet please clear them out for the showings.

Bottom line:  de-clutter, organize, and clean.

PLEASE contact me if you have any questions regarding your home.
