Before you begin showings, read this ๐๐ผ
How you present your home for showings MATTER ๐๐ผ
Think of it... when you're making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life you're probably going to be looking for reasons to justify a large purchase
When showing our home, we want to ensure it is represented in the BEST POSSIBLE light ๐ซ
This is going to take prep from you to ensure the home is clean and staged (don't worry, I've personally sold several times & will give you all my secrets) ๐ธ
You've already done the deep clean & purge of items, now it's time for showings ๐ก
We are going to create 10/10 experience by doing the following โญ๏ธ
๐๐ผ Put away ALL your personal items. That means everything off the counters, no dirty towels or robes and remove all toiletries from the showers.
๐๐ผ Freshly vacuum & mop, we want our guests to FEEL how clean the home is (clean home = pride in ownership = worth more to buyers)
๐๐ผ Turn on all the lights. How would you feel walking into a museum with the lights off. Feels weird right? These are expected guests, they booked a showing which you approved. We want them to feel welcome. Having the lights on instantly does this!
๐๐ผ Make all the beds & put all the pet beds away! We love our pets, but it is normal they have wear & tear on our homes. Before showings, put away their beds & it helps focus attention elsewhere!
๐๐ผ Turn on some light music!! We want out guests to come in and feel at home, thats literally the point!! Try some acoustic Taylor Swift - its easy to listen to & most folks enjoy!
๐๐ผ Avoid air fresheners, your home is already clean. Open some windows if you feel the need for something fresh!
๐๐ผ Plan to leave 15 minutes before the showing time and arrive back 15 min after. Rare cases that showings go over the booked time, but if they do its probably because the guests like the house! Yay!
If you're ready to begin planning the sale of your home, the first step is finding out how much your home is worth! I'll send you a free home value report (& of course no obligation) by tomorrow! https://stan.store/MeganGallant
