When a buyer wants to schedule a private tour of your home, you want to make sure your home is showing at it’s absolute best (think of it like a first date)! Here are our showing tips:
The first step is to transform your home to create an experience for the buyer(s). It’s important to paint a picture that will allow the potential buyers to picture themselves living in your home. We want them thinking about Saturday morning coffee and pancakes at the breakfast bar and family movie nights!
This means removing distractions, highlighting the home’s best features and making your home shine before the buyers arrive! The best way to optimize the showing experience is to create a checklist or request ours which has all the juicy tips we learned from experience ready for you to implement!
- Add a brand new door mat!
- Turn all the lights on – including lamps – the more light the better!
- Sweep up the floors.
- Light a single candle or diffuse some essential oils – make sure the aromas are not overpowering but are pleasant.
- Do one last round of light fluffing of blankets and pillows!
- Remove all dirty dishes and daily items (this includes toothbrushes, face wash, coffee makers, etc) you want CLEAN countertops.
- Close all toilet lids
P.S. What do you think the best temperature for a house showing is?! We think it’s 72 degrees! ☀️
