12 Suggestions For Successfully
Selling Your Property:
Make up beds with attractive spreads.
Wash dishes, put away clothes,
and straighten up newspapers, magazines,
etc.
If any redecorating is needed
(especially the kitchen), do it
now! $20.00 worth of paint may help
you avoid $100.00 in price cuts.
Bathrooms help sell homes. Make
this room sparkle.
Keep pets out of the way when
showing. They annoy many buyers
and distract their attention.
Never try to sell furniture to
a customer before the deal is complete.
Don’t carry on conversations with
buyers looking at your home. Leave
nice little signs to point out any
special amenities that might be
missed by a buyer.
Avoid having too many people present
during inspections. The potential
buyer will feel like an intruder
and will hurry through the house.
Do not allow children to tag along
on visitors’ tours.
Replace missing or burned-out
light bulbs. Illumination is like
a welcome sign. The potential buyer
will feel a glowing warmth when
you turn on all your lights for
an evening inspection.
Dress up windows in freshly laundered
curtains.
Your front door gives a vital
first impression while a prospect
waits for you to answer the doorbell.
Scrub it clean.
Mow the lawn, trim overgrown
shrubs, and clean up debris from
your yard.
Never apologize for appearance
– it only accents or distracts.
