The simple fact is, price is the number one factor that most homebuyers use to determine which homes they want to view. And it’s important to remember that, although you set the price, the buyer determines the value of the home. Try to avoid allowing your enthusiasm to impact you’re better judgment overpricing is a common mistake that can cost you in the end.

Before The Showing Begins
First impressions are lasting impressions. The exterior of your home often determines how buyers will view the interior, so:

• Make sure the front entrance is clean and inviting.
• Paint or replace your front door if it’s faded or worn.
• Add some paint or shutters, trim and other outside feature showing signs of wear.

Buyers often see the surface condition of your home as a sign of what’s underneath, so:

• Keep windows and floors clean.
• Repaint walls in a light neutral color.
• Clean carpets.
• Put your home in the best light

Strategically lighting your home, even during daytime showings, can create a cozy mood and highlight positive attributes of each room. After the showing begins leave the selling to the professional. Buyers often feel uncomfortable in the presence of a homeowner.

A professional real estate agent is trained to guide the homeowner through the entire process of selling a home by providing accurate and up-to-date information on pricing the property, objectively evaluating what if any changes in the home that might be needed, bringing qualified buyers and assisting the seller all the way through closing.
