Ensuring Viewings are Successful

As a seller preparing your home for showings is essential.

Here are a few things you can do to make viewings more successful:

• Make sure your house is neat and clean by decluttering. I can recommend a cleaning lady if you want one.
• Remove personal items such as family photos, diplomas, etc. 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. Buyers are more comfortable if they can view the property without you there.
• Remove your pets. You can take them for a walk, or to a local pet sitting service or kennel.
• Ensure the walkway leading up to your house is clear.

I realize viewings and open houses can be a little inconvenient. As your real estate agent, I will do my best to minimize the disruptions. I will focus on bringing in serious buyers, rather than those who are merely curious. This speeds up the process and increases the likelihood of a buyer seeing your property, becoming interested, and making an offer.
