First Impressions Make A Difference

Experience shows that taking time to prepare your home increases desirability, provides a marketing "edge" and results in shorter market time while assuring the highest return.

Before Presenting Your Home To Buyers

• Go through The "Marketing Preparation Guide" to prepare your home for sale.

• Turn on all inside lights, even during the day
• At night, turn on outside lights
• Turn on soft music
• Keep heat at 68 degrees
• Keep pets in a separate area; change litter boxes daily
• Put money and other valuables away and out of sight
• Keep draperies and shades open
• Open all doors inside the home, except closets

• A buyer will likely spend more time previewing your home if you are not in the home
• If you can`t leave the home, group children around the television with the volume on low, or have them play in a specially designated area.
• Don`t precede or follow the buyer through your home
• Let the sales associate show and sell your home
