Sight LIGHTEN UP THE ROOM: Consider opening up the blinds & drapes. Clean the windows & turn on the lights if there is not enough natural lighting in a room. Natural light enhances one’s sense of space. In the evening or night, firelight creates a warm and cozy atmosphere.
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL: Start to repair the minor things you never had a chance to get to and you will allow guests to see the big picture. Minimize clutter, organize closets, and always be prepared for potential buyers coming to view your property any minute.
Sound PEACE OF MIND: When potential buyers are visiting your home, tranquility is vital. A quiet setting invites conversation between your agent and inquiring buyers.
HEAR THE PEACE: Avoid groups. Make arrangements to be away during viewings so guests have a chance to picture themselves in their potential home. This also alleviates the uncomfortable feeling potential buyers have while viewing another person’s home. Most buyers will try to exit the property faster if someone is home.
Smell SCENTS: The smell of polished wood and radiant clean tile suggest an implication of the new. A new coat of fresh paint awakens the decorator’s impulse. Fresh cut grass allows a ultimate touch for a good first impression.
TASTE: NEUTRAL COLORS: When selling your home, taste is all about décor. Use colors to liven up a room. Eliminate excess furniture. Neutral tones are often underestimated: guests like to picture your home as a blank canvas on their new easel. If you have used exceptionally bright colors consider lightening them up a bit.
TOUCH: AN ENDURING IMPRESSION: Perhaps the most crucial element of showing your home is playing up the arousing appeal. What defines feelings of “home” in one buyer might not describe “home” to another. When the right buyer finds your home, you can be sure the agent will work hard with them to begin a negotiations process.
