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!
