Handling Showings

 

Ensuring Viewings are Successful

Private viewings and open houses provide opportunities for buyers to view your property and get a sense of what it is like to live there. Ideally, you want them to be impressed by what they see and motivated to make an offer.

Although your agent should do most of the work, there are a few things you can do to make viewings more successful:

  • Make sure your house is neat, clean and clutter free. Consider boxing up items that you won't be using on a daily basis.
  • Remove personal items such as family pictures and potentially offensive or inappropriate items like posters, flags or signs. This makes it easier for buyers to imagine themselves living in the house.
  • Find a place to go, such as a park or shopping mall and leave at least 10 minutes before the scheduled showing. Buyers are more comfortable if they can view the property without you there.
  • If possible, remove your pets. You can take them for a walk, let them ride around in the car or to a local pet sitting service or kennel.
  • Ensure the walkway leading up to your house is clear.

To sell your house quickly, and for the highest price possible, it is crucial that viewings and opening houses are done right. Want to learn more about my approach? Call, text or email me today to schedule a no-obligation Personal Consultation, or use the form to the bottom right!
