When Welcoming Prospective Buyers to Your Home, Consider the Five Senses...

Sight

Light
Open the drapes, clean the windows, turn on the accent lighting!  Natural light enhances ones sense of space.  At night, firelight creates warmth and atmosphere.

An Eye for Detail
Take care of minor repairs and you'll allow guests to see the big picture.  Simplify clutter, organize closets, and always be prepared for company!

Sound

Peace of Mind
When prospective buyers visit your home, tranquility is paramount.  A quiet setting invites conversation between your agent and inquisitive buyers.

Hear the Silence
Avoid crowds.  Make plans to be away during appointments so your guests have a chance to picture themselves at home and speak freely with their real estate agent.

Smell

Positive Associations
The scents of polished wood and sparkling clean tile convey a sense of the new.  A fresh coat of paint awakens the decorator's impulse.  Freshly cut grass and well-tended landscaping summons thoughts of outdoor relaxation.

Taste

The Power of Neutral
When selling your home, taste is all about decor.  Use colors to wake up a room.  Eliminate excess furniture.  Don't underestimate the power of neutral tones ~ guests like to imagine your home as a blank canvas.

Touch

A Lasting Impression
Perhaps the most elusive element of showing your home is playing up the emotional appeal.  What touches off feelings of home in one buyer may not appeal to another.  When the right buyer falls in love with your home, you can be sure that Pat will work hand-in-hand with them to begin negotiations!
