No-one
buys a home without looking at it.
The following notes may help.
First Impressions :
Keep the
garden tidy. Trim lawns, cultivate flower beds. Make sure paths and
steps are free from snow and ice.
Keep the
driveway clear and any gates open. Leave room for people to park.
Does your
bell work? Can your house number be seen clearly?
Light the Way Keep any porch or hall lights on at night.
Cats and Dogs :
Keep pets
quiet or out of the house when buyers call.
DIY :
Fix That
Tap Check your home for dripping taps, broken light bulbs etc.
Tidy up any peeling wallpaper or damaged paintwork. Attention to
even the smallest detail can generate good results.
Kitchens The kitchen can tip the scales when it comes to selling.
Make sure yours is well ordered with neat, clean cupboards.
Bathrooms Watch for dripping taps or discoloured bath suites and
keep the room clean, tidy and bright.
Bedrooms Keep bedrooms tidy - that way they look more spacious.
Storage Space Sells Keep cupboards, basements and attics tidy. Throw
out unwanted rubbish.
Silence Speaks Don't let the conversation dry up. Be courteous.
Point out
particular features of each room, but let the buyers inspect at
their own pace.
The Grand Tour:
This is
fine, but let buyers have another look round on their own. Offer to
answer their questions, but let them look at their leisure.
